Where is Kamala?

Just saw this post on X, and I tend to agree...

"Kamala lost as she campaigned - a coward who couldn't face the media, couldn't handle the pressure. Didn't even have the character required to concede on election night. Went home to sulk. The opposite of presidential material."

Really and truly was there nobody with any substance the Democrats could have put forward. What on earth did they expect. The bar was so low.

Maybe she’s gathering up her angry far right wing supporters & proud boys to stage an insurrection.
Maybe they’ll storm the Capital any minute. Or maybe they’ll wait until Congress is in session.
Oh wait. Kamala isn’t Donald. What was I thinking?
Kamala doesn’t do Donald things.
Only Donald does insurrections and hate speech.
Some folks respond to that.
Decent people don’t.

I’ve just looked and Trump finally conceded after Jan 6th riots.

iamtheblcksheep · 06/11/2024 19:30

Maybe she doesn’t work after 5pm like the absolute dick we have in charge here. Good job it’s not a Friday. We wouldn’t be seeing her until Monday.

Willyoujustbequiet · 06/11/2024 19:30

At least there hasn't been a riot that resulted in deaths.

Shows a difference class of voter.

Perhaps she’s waiting for Taylor, J Lo and Oprah to speak on her behalf.

And Eminem.

Smallsalt · 06/11/2024 19:29

Annabella92 · 06/11/2024 18:31

Oh she's going to be making a speech soon...

About time. The silence has been deafening

Preferable to orange boy and his tantrums when he lost whilst inciting thugs to violence don't you think? Or is that your preference?

freddyfluffball · 06/11/2024 19:27

Presumably she cares about her country and is devastated, I don't blame her at all for disappearing. Is Trump had lost he would have started a coup d'etat.

DonnaSummet · 06/11/2024 18:36

I'm guessing she's knackered and very angry. Maybe needed some sleep a good cry and time to gather her thoughts.
She is only human.

Sounds like decent qualities for a president.

It’s massively unprofessional!

Unprofessional? In the context of Donald Trump? The consummate professional?

Puzzledandpissedoff · 06/11/2024 19:20

I expect she won't be seeking high office again, so it's no longer important to show she can walk the walk even in adversity

I suspect this about sums it up, as in "there's nothing in it for me so sod you"

At the very least she could have used the scheduled speech to her faithful last night to thank them, but instead she just disappeared which was disappointing from an alleged professional

Ytcsghisn · 06/11/2024 19:19

Probably being programmed with the latest dose of garbled mumbo jumbo that she normally comes out with.

Well Trump couldn't bring himself to to congratulate Biden at all, or work with him for a smooth transition of power ,he incited riots instead ,But here we are four years later he's just won the election.

Show quote history

But how does that relate ?

Thought that the Democrats liked to ‘go high’

KH not doing that so far. .

It doesn’t look good

Apparently she has just called Trump but also very late !

Beekeepingmum · 06/11/2024 19:11

Maybe she is busy lining up her troops for a March on the capital - alla Trump 2020. Trump supporters saying she has no grace in defeat is absolute joke.

MillyMichaelson · 06/11/2024 19:01

😂😂😂

Did you just call 'inciting an insurrection' and 'not giving a speech the very minute the result was called' two wrongs?!

Pull it together won't you.

Show quote history

I agree that they are 2 wrongs.

Trump has been congratulated by world leaders and still KM hasn’t shown up.

Bumcake · 06/11/2024 19:05

Remember Trump didn’t even go to Biden’s swearing in, now that was an embarrassing case of sour grapes.

I am dissapointed in the result - but I think she and the democrats are shocked at
losing. They looked confident and thought she would win.

Sad day for us all - at least she is not starting riots.

They were deluded. It was pretty clear that Trump was the most likely winner.

She is only human.

If she couldn’t manage to concede and to give her own supporters - who has stayed up all night for her - a short speech that someone else would write for her anyway, that merely underlines her lack of suitability for the job.

MiscellaneousSupportHuman · 06/11/2024 19:01

L0bstersLass · 06/11/2024 18:51

Yes she has. CNN have reported this.

Show quote history

Yes; ITV news reported on this. It sounded as if it had only just happened.

It's nearly 2pm in Washington DC, so I don't think it's the US news cycle that's driven the phone call timing, If concession speech is at 5pm (depending on which US time zone) then that fits rather better.

But getting it over and done with in one miserable lump this morning (and getting the lunchtime news) would have been a perfectly OK approach.

No need to belittle MNetters - or to assume that concerns about how a losing Democratic candidate chooses to portray herself in public does not come from Democrat supporters.

MillyMichaelson · 06/11/2024 19:01

Noodlesmumm · 06/11/2024 18:43

I think to not address her hardworking supporters is very poor show. Even a 5 minute short speech to say that a full speech would follow.

I had hoped she would win, but very disappointed. And I know Trump was a much worse loser 4 years ago.. but two wrongs don't make a right

frockandcrocs · 06/11/2024 18:59

Are you the same butter that was raving about that wanker, Trump?

Westfacing · 06/11/2024 18:59

If Harris had won you can bet Trump wouldn't have phoned to congratulate her, or make any sort of concession speech.
