In the wake of the election results, I’ve been struck by the overwhelming focus on dissecting every move and decision, especially in relation to Kamala Harris. The media is buzzing with analysis—why did the Democrats lose, why did Kamala fail? But in all this noise, there’s something missing: feelings. Not once have I seen someone simply pause and acknowledge the effort, the human side of it all.
Kamala Harris, a woman who isn’t your traditional politician, put everything into this. I don’t believe she’s driven by a hunger for power. Her motivations seem rooted in justice and wanting to do right by ordinary people, not billionaires. Her drive is shaped by her own life and the values she grew up with. She fought with relentless tenacity, navigating the difficult political stage while being held to high expectations. She walked a line that few could handle, especially as a Vice President—where power is limited and often symbolic. And yet, her loyalty to her role and her responsibility to Biden restrained her. She couldn’t just say whatever she wanted or take the spotlight.
Meanwhile, we see how differently figures like Trump operate, speaking without restraint, knowing full well that many will cater to his ego. Kamala, on the other hand, wasn’t built for that; she didn’t seek praise, nor did she compromise her values. Yet now, after the election, people question if she was the right choice, wondering aloud what could have been.
If people could step back from the analysis, just for a moment, and really empathize, they might see her struggle, her fight for what
she believed was right. Instead of finger-pointing, let’s acknowledge the humanity in her journey. I truly think she did it for the belief that she could put humanity back into the country only to realize the country isn’t ready for humanity like that.
Maybe the real question here is about who we are—whether we can look beyond politics and first be human.
Congratulations Kamala, in my heart, you won because you showed up to fight the fight for the people, for all the right reasons.
You planted the seed and that is all that matters now. Thank you, Kamala.
