The party had already thrown itself under the bus by not cultivating younger presidential candidates years ahead of this election. Harris made a damn good effort to fill in when they finally smelled the coffee, but Democratic voters who refused to step off their moral purity pedestals to vote for her threw the whole fucking country under the bus. But fine, if it's not the Democratic Party or boomers or a "weak" campaign it can be this pardon that rationalizes not bothering to vote.

Harris made a damn good effort to fill in

She most certainly did not.

She performed terribly in her last primary because no one liked her, and as soon as she got the nomination handed to her. She immediately and continually moved right until the election despite her numbers going down everytime she moved right.

She rais d 1.5 billion by selling out the party platform, but that's not a "good effort" because all that money couldn't buy back the votes she lost by moving to the right to get that money.

The only way someone could say she did well is if they care about dollars more than votes.
