Democrats are still reeling after Donald Trump’s landslide victory…
Democrats are turning on Joe Biden in the wake of Vice President Kamala Harris‘ loss to the former President.
They say his advancing age, questions over his mental acuity and deep unpopularity put Democrats at a sharp disadvantage. According to reports from Politico, Democrats are livid that they were forced to embrace a candidate who voters had made clear they did not want — and then stayed in the race long after it was clear he couldn’t win.
“He shouldn’t have run,” said Jim Manley, a top aide to former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. “This is no time to pull punches or be concerned about anyone’s feelings. He and his staff have done an enormous amount of damage to this country.”
“He’s a good man who can be proud of his accomplishments. But his legacy is in tatters,” Manley said. “The country is headed in a very dangerous direction and it’s due in part to his arrogance.”
“She ran an extraordinary campaign with a very tough hand that was handed to her,” Mark Longabaugh, a Democratic strategist and former adviser to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), said of Harris. “The truth of the matter is, Biden should have stepped aside earlier and let the party put together a longer game plan.”
“There was a Biden weariness,” James Zogby, a three-decade veteran of the Democratic National Committee, said of the shift among the electorate in recent years. “And he hung on too long.”
Senior Harris campaign advisor David Plouffe also seemingly blamed Biden for Kamala’s poor Election Day performance.
In what many perceived as a swipe at Biden, Plouffe wrote on X: “We dug out of a deep hole but not enough. A devastating loss.”
Plouffe dismantled his X account late Wednesday after receiving backlash for his remarks.
According to Fox News White House senior correspondent Jacqui Heinrich one source in the Biden camp branded Plouffe a “sanctimonious ass” and another told her the tweet was “unproductive” – adding: “Joe Biden is the President of the United States and won without [Plouffe]. He successfully beat Donald Trump – something [Plouffe] never did.”
Several Democrats pointed to the administration’s handling of a spike in inflation as a key misstep as it took months for Biden to grasp the impact it was having on voters.
“They didn’t jump on it fast enough,” said Mike Lux, a Democrat strategist and co-founder of Democracy Partners, who defended Biden’s record but lamented that it never took hold with working-class voters. “It was really hurting people, and we just didn’t respond in the way that we could have and should have on policy, to an extent, but definitely on communications.”
Biden on Wednesday afternoon called Trump to congratulate him on the victory and praised Harris in a statement, saying that “under extraordinary circumstances, she stepped up and led a historic campaign.”

The meltdown of the Democrat party continues. I LOVE IT !
Why are people going full in blame game on Biden when the reason they lost is that Harris was a horrible candidate. She had all the tail wind she needed with money, total media support, and incumbency. But, she could not articulate a rational policy platform nor could she deliver a speech without double speak gobblegook. Blame the folks whom bypassed the primary/convention process and fast tracked an unqualified candidate. If she had any advisors they were incompetent or she ignored them. I could have managed her campaign and the whole process better. Pelosi, Obama and Clinton are also to be included in the blame game. They misread the populace and thought they could front anyone and win because Trump was so disliked. But, it’s just easier for the guilty to blame someone else.
“She ran an extraordinary campaign”…..😂😂😂
She had nothing! No vision, no common sense, no morals, no real compassion. All she had were word salads in different accents 😂
STOLEN ELECTIONS HAVE LONG RANGE AND FAR REACHING CONSEQUENCES ; YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW
Ah yes, we lost the election so it is time for the finger pointing to begin. Maybe it is time for the Democrats to look in the mirror and figure out why they lost the election.
The liberal, leftist, elite DemoRATS will never get why they lost. They have no comprehension of what the average Joe in American thinks, believes or has to deal with. Bill Clinton was elected for the second time in an economy that was as bad or maybe worse than what Joe Biden has inflicted on America. So although inflation paid a part in Harris’ loss it does not explain the whole picture. So let me explain why Trump won and Harris lost. 1) President Trump’s followers know that the 2020 election was stolen. The evidence is there. The MSM chose not to report it. 2) Hunter Biden’s laptop, which we were told was fake news, proved to be accurate. Again the MSM lied and then the American public found out they lied. 3) Ditto regarding the Russian Collusion. 4) Every indictment that the Democrats threw at President Trump increased his following, increased is monetary donations and showed how again the MSM lied. 5) President Trump’s followers knew then and they know now that the Obiden administration weaponized the justice system against Trump. Most of his cases Never EVER went to trial. Why? Because they knew that in discovery during a trial, that President Trump could prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he was not quilty of anything. Even the Bimbo that he was convicted of groping 60 years ago was a lie and we all know it. 6) Then we get to “Cackles.” She was installed. Fortunately there are still some honest, God fearing, American loving Democrats who did not like how “Cackles” was installed and voted on. 7) “Cackles” did not get the black male vote nor did she get the Latino vote. Why? Because of the Obiden administration allowing the invasion of our country by illegals, those two groups — black males and Latinos — have been being layed from jobs, denied houseing and denied many other opportunities. These are the main issues I can think of as I write this. Personally I would not vote for “Cackles” because of her stance on abortion. I am sure I am not the only one. Oh I forgot the sodomite issue. Most Americans do not approve of being forced fed sodomy. As I say, the Democrat just don’t get it.
they always point fingers just never at themselves. Aiding and abetting is not in their dictionary .
What did they think would happen when you tote a racist and segregationist with zero knowledge of foreign affairs, with dementia (which I noticed in 2019), and then picks a dei veep? Exactly what happend. The choice between a marxist veep and the American people. The American people decided they want none of it. Now take a breath, get out of your bubbles and echo chambers and agree with us, or at least have a conversation with us.
As we might guess, the Radical Left has descended into the Blame Game! And, naturally, they attack it heir weakest link. Not unlike sharks, who will eat their own if perceived to be weak.
So…Joe Biden is the Left’s Whipping Boy!
