I am so proud of the campaign for president by Kamala Harris. She exceeded my expectations. She conducted herself with such majesty, intelligence and dignity. She certainly deserved better against an opponent who is completely unfit for the job, in fact, a man with absolutely no redeeming qualities. In reality, regardless of her campaign, Kamala had no chance. Unfortunately, hate, sexism and racism won.

I was particularly upset at supposed “progressives” who criticized  her before the elections . In particular, I recall this woman, a supposed progressive, who spent the whole hour of her radio program, lambasting Kamala with virtually not a word of criticism about Trump. I took issue with her by email and she and some of her loyal followers jumped all over me for advocating the lesser of two evils. Trump would have been overjoyed at that radio program. Unfortunately, there were others of that ilk, who caused harm by inadvertently promoting Trump as she did.

I must admit that Kamala did make a serious campaign error, when she had Beyonce and Oprah Winfrey at her rally. These are women and black women! Their presence must have infuriated the racist sexist Trumpers, But, what must have infuriated them even more, was the presence of Barack Obama there which energized them by their hate for a black president.

To be sure Kamala has her flaws, but she would have made a wonderful president. The American voters have dealt democracy a black-eye.
