Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party have just faced a resounding rejection from the American people, and the reasons are as clear as they are damning. For too long, Democrats thought they could sell a failing vision, attack their opponents with baseless accusations, and rely on a complicit media to shield them from accountability. But this election proved that people see right through it.
First, the obsession with targeting Donald Trump backfired spectacularly. They arrested him, charged him, plastered his mugshots across every news outlet, and called him a “convicted felon.” The left-leaning legal crusaders like New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg thought they could smear Trump into oblivion. They even stooped as low as trying to turn assassination attempts on Trump into some kind of bizarre media sideshow. Did they really think this relentless targeting would somehow turn Trump supporters against him? It did the opposite: it made people support him even more. Every smear and every attack rallied Americans around a man who has refused to bow to the liberal mob.
Then there’s the unrelenting dishonesty about Biden’s health and capabilities. For years, the media, with full support from the Biden administration, assured Americans that Biden was “sharper than ever.” They ignored or “fact-checked” away the countless clips of him forgetting basic details, misplacing himself on stage, and showing disturbing signs of cognitive decline. They labeled anyone who pointed out the obvious as a conspiracy theorist or pawn of “Russian propaganda.” But Americans weren’t fooled. And when Biden finally went head-to-head with Trump, the contrast was night and day, exposing Biden as a man far from “sharp” and out of his depth.
The Democrats’ “solution” to this mess? Kamala Harris—who became the nominee without winning a single primary, without the people’s vote, and without any substantial support. She was thrust onto a disillusioned base of moderate Democrats and independents who couldn’t be further from inspired. Harris had spent her time vilifying Republicans, labeling the other side as “Nazis,” “fascists,” and worse, alienating a massive portion of the country. Did she really think calling millions of Americans “garbage” would win their support?
What became painfully clear is that Democrats are out of touch and the media that defends them is beyond repair. Polls that claimed Democrats had this election in the bag turned out to be fiction, exposed as nothing but a desperate attempt to control the narrative. Even after the election, leftist outlets tried to rewrite history, claiming that “Republicans” were the divisive ones. But Americans are done with these lies. They’re tired of being told what to believe by “legacy media,” a failing institution that has been complicit in misleading the public every step of the way.
This election has sent a message that can’t be ignored: Americans are done with corruption, tired of left-wing hypocrisy, and ready for leaders who respect their intelligence and stand up for their values. That’s why they chose Trump. Because he doesn’t bow to the mob, doesn’t play the games, and doesn’t treat everyday Americans as if they’re incapable of thinking for themselves. Kamala Harris and her party might not understand it, but the people of this country do. And their voices were loud and clear on election night.
Signed,

Harris, and most of the Democrats (especially the Progressive wing) and listen to their own media and hold anyone not part of their group to be “garbage” (as Biden said) or part of a basket of “deplorables” (as Clinton said). Many people were outraged by Trump crude speech and insulting manner, and the effective response by the Democrats should have been extreme refined speech, good manners, and avoiding personal attacks. Instead the acted like Trump, and cancelled out the possible advantage they had, and furthermore, in part due to their isolation did a bad job of evaluating or defending their policies some of which insulted many people (support for Hamas, allowing men on to women’s teams and in women’s shower rooms, banning natural gas, welfare for the rich disguised as environmental subsidies, etc.).
many frum leaders and askanim have a strong relationship with Leticia James by the way.
Here is an email I received from Brad Lander the demented leftist comptroller of NYC. It’s a long read but it gives you an idea how out of touch but dangerous the loony liberals are.
There’s no sugar-coating it, The election results are devastating. Like a gut-punch that knocks the wind out of you, making it hard to breathe or think straight, much less to respond.
And of course, it’s all-the-more terrifying for people whom Donald Trump has repeatedly demeaned and threatened, and whose rights and safety will be most on the line: Women, immigrants, LGBTQIA+ communities, and too many more.
Our nation is facing a truly precarious time. Trump has shown and told us over and over again who he is. There’s every reason to believe he will try to follow through – to amass power for himself, to weaken the federal government and undermine its check-and-balances, to commence mass deportations, to use the Justice Department and the U.S. military against those who stand up to him.
It will take time to grieve and process. On election night in 2016, I tweeted “Don’t mourn, organize!” Lots of people made clear that you’d organize, of course, but you’d need some time to mourn. This time around, I get it.
And we’ll need to analyze, too. To reckon with why so many of our fellow Americans voted for Trump – and how we can build a political vision and program to counter it. I hope we can do that reckoning both honestly and with compassion.
But even as we grieve and process, we’ll need to summon the collective courage, to stand up to protect our neighbors, our rights, and the institutions of our democracy right away.
That will look different in 2024 than it did in 2016. There’s no value in nostalgia for “resistance” energy. But we are going to have to do it. Maybe we should call it “protection” this time. Organizing to protect our neighbors, our country, our city – is powerful work. There will be lots of pain and fear and loss. And there will be heroes and surprises and joys and successes, too. Just as there have been in so many struggles of the past.
New York stands up when the things that matter are on the line. We did so yesterday: Passing Prop 1 to codify abortion access and reproductive health care in the State Constitution. Flipping three U.S. House seats and holding two more (that will hopefully be enough to give Democrats a majority in the House of Representatives).
New Yorkers have faced many crises before: The fiscal crisis of the 1970s, 9/11, Superstorm Sandy, Covid-19, and yes, Trump’s first term. We prevailed – even with many losses – by coming together across lines of difference to serve and protect each other, and to insist on a shared future.
To do that now, New York City will need leaders who will stand up to Trump and stand up for New York values.
So I promise you this: My campaign for Mayor of New York City will be a campaign to stand up for New Yorkers, to stand up for our values, and to stand up for our shared future. I hope you’ll be a part of it.
Remember, democracy is not just what happens on Election Day. It’s how we come together with our neighbors every day to fight for what we believe in, and to try to build a future that’s better than the present.
Sometimes, that work is full of joy. Sometimes, as this brutal morning reminds us, it is not. Regardless, I’ll be fighting alongside you every step of the way.
Today we mourn. But we’ll never stop standing up together to defend the things we know to be right, protecting those who are vulnerable, and fighting for the future we believe in.
Take care of yourself today, tzvi. It’s a hard day, with a long road ahead.

Brad: who’s “Tzvi”?
Kamala Harris—who became the nominee without winning a single primary Which is an absolute requirement according to Lichtman to win an election, so how did Lichtman forget this rule of his & get his prediction so wrong?
Meanwhile I have been adviced that מכשפה Harris, nazi walz, bragg, merchan, have all been placed on suicide watch, and now crooked joe is envisaged to outlive these 4 villains.
Are there any updates about the whereabouts of kamalak, has anybody seen her?
To happy new year He personalized the emails someone in my family is Tzvi.
Kamalek lost because of the October Surprise.
Mazel Tov. Between us Kamala Harris is the real winner 🏆. Come January 20 she will be free to go golfing ⛳️ as she pleases. She can even visit family if she has, at her leisure and all pleasures she desires.
Brad is just spewing the same left-wing liberal garbage that just got them a stinging loss.
Their egos have totally blinded them from anything truthful.
They’re starting already…
Keep in mind that she will be the one to certify the election, whoa will she be so humiliated.

“ Between us Kamala Harris is the real winner 🏆.”
No the real winner is the United States and the free world
Right. And Hashem had nothing to do with it. Shameful.
Btw, what’s worse than a nazi?
There was never any possibility that Harris would win. Do a simple calculation. Which demographic that didn’t vote for Biden did she have any chance of getting to vote for her? On the flip side Trump had two very important demographics that he was able to tap into (1)Those who voted for Biden believing he would bring civility and moderation back to American politics and (2) those who voted for Biden but were very disappointed with the job he did.
The only way she could have won would have been had she greatly distanced herself from Biden, picked a centrist for VP and tried to connect with swing voters. She didn’t any them because that isn’t who she is.
Good letter, Avi.
Further, I wish the news would report the facts and let us figure out what to think.
Mostly we are receiving the wishful thinking of the leftist outlets.
Next, look up the conditions the led to the fall of the major empires of history. I’m concerned if we keep sliding as a society what our future will be. Americans think they are unique and destined to last forever. That’s probably what the Egyptians and Romans thought. We need to raise the moral bar of society if we want to produce more moral leaders.
Remember people are watching us, make a kiddush Hashem whenever you can. The world notices our behavior.
Try to understand what people with different views are saying to you to compromise within halacha, if possible. Nothing will get moved forward with nonstop arguments. People are complex and have several issues at any time they are thinking about. Forty years ago there was more patience for opposite views. Now, it’s name-calling.
If your local leaders or senators or congressmen did something good, contact them and say thanks, especially if it is involved with Israel, the hostages, the IDF, etc.
