The 2024 election cycle has entered a phase that can only be described as Alice in Wonderland for liberals. Some insist that the Democratic establishment still has a chance with Kamala Harris leading the charge. Meanwhile, seasoned political veterans, including figures like David Axelrod, look on with skepticism, fully aware of the bubble that envelops the liberal mindset. The day of reckoning is coming, and their golden girl is set for a rough landing back to reality.
The situation is exacerbated by the fact that Biden himself bowed out of the race back in July, displaying hesitance to support his own vice president for fear she would perform just as poorly this time around as she did in 2020. His long-awaited endorsement of Harris was less about political strategy and more like a parting shot aimed at Barack Obama, who has been the shadowy puppet master orchestrating the Democratic drama. The chess game of power dynamics within the party continues as whispers of Biden’s true feelings circulate.
"strange and disappointing" "messy" "uneven" "fiasco" "fallen short."
That's not Trump describing Kamala Harris.
That's how Joe Biden and the Biden White House described her, according to a 2022 book co-written by the head of news at Politico.

Biden’s evaluation of Harris has been less than flattering, to say the least. His team has reportedly called her “messy,” “strange,” and a “fiasco,” among other gems, and it was not just idle chatter. Even in 2022, insiders clearly noted that her flailing leadership as the so-called border czar resulted in the kind of disaster that even the old Biden couldn’t ignore. Her disastrous Central America trip was a personal flop she couldn’t blame on her staff, who regularly endured her notorious tirades when things went south.
Surprisingly, the internal critiques of Harris weren’t just whispers in the hallways; they were documented facts demonstrating deep embarrassment from the Biden camp. Her performance drew head-scratching comments, with aides questioning if she was merely an “uneven performer.” That is code for “this is really not working out.” When the administration itself begins to label a VP’s efforts as “strange and disappointing,” it makes one wonder how her candidacy is even still afloat.
As Democrats prepare for a showdown with Trump, they might want to set up a debate sooner rather than later. Crushing Kamala in a head-to-head would be the ultimate wake-up call for a party drifting into deeper despair. The parade of her blunders is lengthy, and attempting to put a spin on them would be a Herculean feat—even for the most seasoned spin doctors. Harris, with her history of unqualified candidacy and lack of primary support, seems to personify everything that’s wrong within the Democratic establishment. The party would do well to reflect on whether it’s truly ready for a candidate who looks good on paper but flops spectacularly in practice.
