Last night's silence from Kamala Harris post-election not only echoed through the halls where hundreds, perhaps thousands, of dedicated supporters gathered but also resonated with a sense of déjà vu for those who remember 2016. Back then, Hillary Clinton, much like Harris now, chose not to address her campaign workers and loyal followers in the immediate aftermath of the polls—a decision that sparked widespread disappointment among her base.
This act of omission by Harris last night—failing to step forward and acknowledge the crowd of supporters who had invested countless hours into her campaign—is perceived not just as an oversight, but as a glaring disregard for the very people who form the backbone of any political endeavor. It’s a poignant moment of reflection on what many see as a pattern of exclusion, a trend that raises questions about the priorities and values at the heart of the Democratic Party.
The supporters deserved more; they deserved recognition and thanks for their unwavering support and hard work. It is a fundamental aspect of leadership to show up, not just in victory but also in less triumphant moments. This act, or lack thereof, could be seen as reflective of a broader attitude within the party—prioritizing campaigns over the very individuals who drive those campaigns forward.
Historically, political leaders are expected to unite and uplift, to stand resilient in the face of adversity, and to acknowledge the collective effort of their supporters. When they fail to do so, it sends a powerful message about their commitment to the values of inclusivity and respect. The silence of Kamala Harris last night speaks volumes, and it is a repeat of the past that many hoped would not occur again.
