A Letter to Kamala
They'll never allow you to believe this, but...
You didn't lose because you're a woman
or because you're a person of color.
You may have lost because you had
no clear vision or concrete message
For ALL of the citizens.
You may have lost because you ignored the porous border.
Mixed in with innocent refugees
are criminals, cartels, and fentanyl.
You sacrificed our sovereignty and safety
for illegitimate votes and a favorable census.
You may have lost because you dismissed the middle class....
In so many words called us racist trash.
Clumping the blue-collar woman and man with radical elements.
You never considered or addressed the mayhem of runaway inflation.
You may have lost when your boss stumbled.
Then you tossed him into the trash.
You never earned a vote from your constituents.
You plucked the crown from your former king.
You saw yourself as the second coming.
Most saw it as the coup of shallow victory.
You may have lost because you didn't meet with our most loyal Ally
during his nation's darkest moment.
Instead, you partied at a sorority event.
During the Floyd riots, you helped set up a fund for violent rioters.
Ignoring the victims of the rioting.
You wanted to defund the police while blood flowed freely
down our streets.
In short, you met 76 million desperate voices
with word salad, disrespect, and a dismissive cackle.
If you had put we, the people, first.
I would have been proud to call you,
Madam President.
