[November 7, 2024] I’m no politician but I do have a good finger on the pulse of most Americans, and like many, I’ve got some common sense too. What lost Kamala Harris the presidential election this past Tuesday was her attitude of moral superiority. She simply saw herself as better than the average American citizen.
And, her campaign saw this too. That is why she started talking about being brought up in a “middle class family” and her push to connect with the average working person; a talking point that started working for her. But it was too late. She’d already built a reputation of being above the racist/sexist/homophobic society that she believed America had become, and she was running to correct America.
I’m not doubting that there were many other reasons she lost. True enough. For example, Harris made a poor choice in her running-mate Tim Walz, a “gut decision,” in her words. Walz was as arrogant as they come. He was just icing on the cake as citizens tied them together. His “aw shucks” veneer fooled no one. Then it came out he lied about his military service claiming that he “carried guns in war.” People saw him as fake, or, as a flake. The stolen valor charges did further damage.
Harris’s belief that not voting for her made you a bad person, truly got to many people and instead of motivating them, she pushed us away. This is why you don’t insult your people. Joe Biden’s comments about Trump supporters being “garbage” and her not disavowing him early, tied her closely in with that moral superiority attitude. So, if you’re voting for Trump, suddenly you’re a fascist now.
Harris alienated the heart of America and that’s an unforgivable problem, an albatross, that she tied around her own neck. She was telling us she’s better, smarter, and has many famous, wealthy “friends” (see all those Hollywood types hanging out with her). This is insulting and contradicts her attempt to connect with us. Then she lied about working at McDonald’s. These were self-inflicted errors that she repeatedly made until the very end.
Over the next few days and weeks, pundits will prattle on about this or that technical error Harris made and there will be some merit in what they say. But adopting the “woke” ideology that she embraced did not go over well with middle America. Wokeness might work on the coastal elites and on college campuses, but not with the rest of us who fear losing our livelihoods if we use the wrong pronoun.
Abortion was the main platform policy that helped her. But it helped only with getting her leftist base to turn out. Most Americans believe that it’s murder to abort a child in the womb yet Harris told us that abortion was a healthcare right, an obvious contradiction. Under Biden’s thinking and Harris’s campaign platform, abortion would be legal and free up until the moment of birth. Americans more and more reject abortion.
The fact that Kamala Harris came as close as she did to winning the presidential election – although Trump won in a blowout – is scary. The good news is that Americans are a lot smarter than Harris, Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, entertainers, and her friends in the press think we are, and we proved it.
Kamala Harris failed to show any real leadership. Donald Trump showed it every day. The difference was stark.

Please read my books:
She was crushed politically and now she is on the outs with the Democrat Party because she screwed up so badly.
Sir, that’s the point from which all her problems stemmed. Her arrogance was over the top. Her lack of leadership skills was hard to imagine anyone that lacking. Plus, she’s a liar. And now we see that Kamala spent over a billion dollars on her campaign; the most ever and yet she was crushed by Trump who spent one third that amount. Now $20 million is unaccounted for. AMAZING. 🎶 the violin is playing.
Good point Charlie, but let’s not forget an article by Gen. Satterfield back in July — “ The Coming DEI War”
https://www.theleadermaker.com/the-coming-dei-war/
There is a coming DEI war in America, and the results will not be pretty. With Joe Biden backing out of his re-election campaign, VP Kamala Harris, a “black woman,” is the obvious choice of those who believe in the DEI ideology.
Kamala Harris is now the standard bearer for DEI, and those opposing her will be labeled as racist and sexist and viciously, repeatedly, and unfairly attacked by the news media, Hollywood, radical leftists, and single, fat, liberal women. If you’ve been paying attention to politics in America, this war should come as no surprise.
Any person who opposes Harris has a difficult case to make, one in which she is not fit for office. Many claim she is a lightweight, unserious, stupid, and unlikeable. That is a problematic combination for her, but she will expertly wield the DEI shield to protect her upcoming presidential campaign. That is her strategy. Simple. Effective. Low risk.

Gen. Doug Satterfield really nailed the election strategy of Kamala Harris. And we still have the echoes of the name calling and vitriol that will go on and on for some time.
Well put, Bernie. Thank you.
I have more confidence in America after we rejected an obviously inferior candidate. DEI took a hit and will hopefully never recover.
Trump’s win is a win against the Woke.
Excellent article. Thank you sir. We are now starting to see the blame game, finger pointing among the koo koo Leftists and its fun toneatch them self-destruct.
All those basement-dwelling, pinko, commie, light waisted, mind-dumbed Leftists sure are mad now. And, I’m having the time of my life these past few days watching them meltdown on YouTube and X. It makes me smile that my life is so much better and content than those anti-American, pro-authoritarian types in the weak antisemitic Democrat Party. They are so full of hate and venom that for ordinary people, they are just shocked. America dodged the bullet not having these whackos in charge. 🙏
He He He …….. so so so very true. 😷🤐🥴🤢🤮🤧🥱😵🤥
Gen. Satterfield, you get a thumb’s up today and I love it that America is better off without Kamala the “woke” chameleon. 🙏
Pastor Jim, you are soooo right. I think most ordinary Americans by now realize that Kamala Harris is just an empty shell. She was anointed to her position, never elected, nor did she ever have to compete. She is the ideal DEI candidate – takes only woke positions but will never admit to those vale’s openly because everyone now knows these do not work.
Jonnie, nailed it.
Empty vessel … check
Calls opponents “fascists” … check
Blames men for not voting for her … check
Refuses to take responsibility … check
Anti-American … check
What is there not to like? Yeah right!
👀👀👀👀👀👀 CHECK 👀👀👀👀👀👀
Today I’m off from work and I’ll spend part of it reading about why Kamala list the election. Pure fun entertainment. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
“ Kamala Harris failed to show any real leadership. Donald Trump showed it every day. The difference was stark.” —- Gen. Doug Satterfield. On target, sir. Thank you.
Wesley, this is why I’m a regular reader of Gen. Satterfield’s blog. I’m a big fan. And even though I do read his blog, I’m an avid reader on the psychology of humans and have learned a great deal. I could see, early on, that VP Kamala Harris was not going to be a good leader. My first indication was she had zero accomplishments as the VP. She was tasked to be the border czar and yet never even went to the border. Everyone could see her lack of the most basic element of leadership — being there. As Gen. Satterfield has written many times, “It’s good to have a bad boss (only occasionally) because it shows us what NOT to do.” And Harris showed the world what not to do. Fortunately, the average American citizen saw her for what she really was … the Democrat Party’s DEI candidate. Her failure is good for all Americans.
Gen. Satterfield, you’re correct about the explosion of articles coming out explaining why Harris lost the election. 👍. But you nailed the reason best and put your finger on the reason, a feeling of superiority. 🤬
Here is what I have to say 🐿️🦝🦺🇺🇸👍❤️😇
Special thanks to P’NUT and Fred.
KAMALA HARRIS LOSES. 🏳️🌈
AMERICA WINS. 🇺🇸
DEI LOSES.
PATRIOTISM WINS.
The world will be a better, safer, more stable, richer place after Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are gone. God protect Donald Trump.
Yes, Gen. Satterfield there are many reasons Kamala failed but her belief that she was our moral superior played a key role.
Got that right and this is what Gen. Satterfield was telling us all along.
“ Leadership Comparison: Harris vs. Trump”
https://www.theleadermaker.com/leadership-comparison-harris-vs-trump/
The bottom line is Kamala lacked what it takes. No leadership ability. And, IMHO, she is the Devil, along with Joe Biden.
How I see VP Harris is that she has no principles. What does she stand for? Other than free abortion any time, any place, free without consequences, and HIGHLY ENCOURAGED, and letting born babies “comfortable “ as they die on the table. Harris was just the ideal DEI candidate and was soundly defeated. America dodged a communist bullet this time.
########
America the beautiful where normal, sane, competent leaders will soon be back in charge.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
… and the sooner Trump gets back in office, the sooner America gets out of their decline.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Patriot Wife, exactly what I was thinking.
