In the wake of Kamala Harris's book tour, where she reflects on her "107 days" of campaigning before her stunning defeat in the November elections, her narrative has raised eyebrows among her liberal peers.
Despite having a war chest of $1.5 billion, a guaranteed voter base of tens of millions who would have preferred any alternative to Trump, and the powerful backing of mainstream media, Harris astonishingly lost in every swing state and even the popular vote, a feat no Democrat has achieved in over two decades.
According to Gateway Pundit, her memoir has done little to salvage her political reputation, especially after alienating many of her allies. In her book, Harris expressed her disappointment when Gavin Newsom, the Governor of California, dismissed her request for his endorsement, allegedly texting her that he was "hiking" and never returning her call.
Harris also pointed a finger at the American public for not being "ready" for her preferred running mate, Pete Buttigieg, an openly gay man she believed would have invigorated their campaign. Instead, she found herself paired with Tim Walz, whom she likened to a "Home Depot salesman."
Bill Maher, a fellow liberal, was particularly critical of Harris's memoir, which he described as a "boohoo poor me" book. On his Friday night show, Maher criticized the title of Harris's memoir, "107 Days," calling it a "victim's title."
Maher delivered a scathing message, stating, "Kamala Harris's new memoir of the 2024 election is called 107 Days. But it should have been called 'Everyone sucks but me.' 107 Days is a victim's title because get it, she only had 107 days to win. Yeah, and a billion and a half dollars and a built-in army of about 75 million people whod vote for any human-adjacent life form that wasnt Trump."
Maher continued his critique, highlighting Harris's tendency to blame others for her defeat, including Biden for not stepping down sooner, Newsom for not endorsing her, and America for not being ready for Buttigieg as her running mate. He also mocked Harris's account of election night, where an aide had to remove the words 'Madam President' from cupcakes before distributing them, likening it to a scene from a romantic comedy.
However, as Maher pointed out, if Harris is to point fingers, she should start with herself. Despite having "a billion and a half dollars and a built-in army of about 75 million people whod vote for any human-adjacent life form that wasnt Trump," she still managed to lose the election.
Her biggest blunder, according to Maher, was when she told a hurting nation that "theres not a thing that comes to mind" that she would have done differently than Biden.
Ultimately, it wasn't Trump who was Kamala Harris's greatest hurdle, but rather her own shortcomings. This narrative of self-inflicted defeat, despite having every advantage, serves as a stark reminder of the pitfalls of political hubris and the importance of self-awareness in leadership.
