Stephen Colbert, the soon-to-retire late-night talk show host, was taken aback when Kamala Harris suggested that she would not run for President again in 2028, citing a "broken" system.
The term "broken" is often a euphemism for "rigged," a rather ironic claim from Harris, who controversially secured the Democrat nomination in 2024, allegedly through a soft coup against a well-intentioned but mentally declining elderly man.
According to RedState, Harris recently announced that she would not run for governor of California, sparking speculation among political pundits that she might be gearing up for another White House bid.
When Colbert probed her about this possibility, asking if she would instead focus on a different office," Harris responded with a defeatist tone that would make even the gloomiest of characters, like Winnie the Pooh's friend Eeyore, seem upbeat.
No," she responded. "Its perhaps more basic than that. Recently, I made the decision that I just, for now, I dont want to go back in the system. I think its broken, Harris lamented.
In a verbose admission, Harris seemed to suggest that her political ambitions had been thwarted by President Trump, leading her to abandon her plans to run for Governor of California. The systems broken so I dont wanna go back into the system, she stated, seemingly surrendering to the political landscape.
Harris, who did not win a single primary and was controversially chosen as the Democratic nominee in 2024, is now criticizing the very system that facilitated her nomination. I always believed that as fragile as our democracy is, our systems would be strong enough to defend our most fundamental principles. And I think, right now, that theyre not as strong as they need to be," she continued. "And I just dont want to, for now I dont want to go back in the system.
If the system is indeed "broken," it is her party that has wielded the sledgehammer. The Democrat primaries were so skewed in favor of Hillary Clinton in 2016 that even Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) called it out as "rigged against me."
He was similarly sidelined in 2020 by none other than Barack Obama. Far-left authoritarians across the country launched multiple attempts to forcibly remove Donald Trump from the ballot in 2024.
Colbert and his audience seemed somewhat taken aback by Harris's response. The atmosphere in the room deflated, mirroring the intellectual vacuum that occurs when one is subjected to the lamentations of two career underachievers.
Colbert, who has been criticized for his lack of intellectual depth, declared Harris to be "very qualified for the Presidency" and described her response as "harrowing." Im hearing you dont want to be a part of the fight anymore, he observed.
Harris was quick to refute this: Oh, absolutely not. Im always going to be part of the fight.
When asked by Colbert who else was in the fight and who she thought represented the Democrat party, Harris was unable to name a single individual. "There are lots of leaders," Harris said, prompting Colbert to scoff.
"There's generally leader of the Democratic Party," he retorted. "Who comes to mind?"
As is often the case with Harris, she was unable to provide a clear answer. "I think there are a lot of I'm not going to go through names because then I'm going to leave somebody out and then I'm going to hear about it," she responded. "But let me say this. I think it is a mistake for us who want to figure out how to get out and through this and get out of it to put it on the shoulders of any one person."
Harris, who spent over $1 billion only to lose the popular vote, the electoral vote, and every single swing state, appears to have been knocked out of the presidential race three years ahead of time.
She appeared on Colbert's show to promote her upcoming book, "107 Days," which provides her perspective on the Democratic Party's alleged coup against Biden that sparked her short-lived effort to "save Democracy."
