So I want to point out something interesting in the comments to this post:

There are two different segments of the comments, with wildly differing consensus views revealed in one segment versus the other (if you look at the votes). There's the top three comments (at least as it shows up to me), who think Kamala Harris is a big meanie liberal who deserved what she got and why isn't she helping us with Trump now. Then there's the whole rest, where there's actually a strong consensus along the lines of this:

Sore loser

Politicians aren’t athletes. She didn’t lose. The American people chose Trump. The American people lost.

... where the top comment is mildly downvoted, and the reply is heavily upvoted.

It is weird to me that there are two strata to it. I have a theory for why that is, but I am sometimes out of my mind, so I will simply point it out and that it's weird.

Kamala is a lot of things, but she is not a liberal. I can have honest disagreements with a principled liberal, but the Democratic establishment abandoned liberal principals long ago.
