I really wish she had, for all intents and purposes, just continued on with her campaign. Take a page from Trump and his continued rallies right after he lost last time.
I understand that the US is not like Canada, where I am from. And that there is no official opposition leader. Who even after losing the election, would still carry weight and be the voice of all the people who voted against the upcoming administration. in this case nearly half of the voting public.
I so wanted her to continue to admonish Republicans, and warn the public about what is coming. Continue to be center stage for Democrats. Go on Fox again even. Even reiterate in interviews how Americans were about to be offered the $50,000 startup business write off and $6000 child tax credit. As well as bragging about the strongest economy in the world they built after COVID.
..........THEN, the next day, come onto Capital hill and do her constitutional duty and hand over the reigns, in a serious and solemn manner. With the general pubic very very aware of her, and many others, dire concerns.
Your system has its strengths, but has weakness in this department. Sad coincidence that President Biden is deteriorating so rapidly or I'd say he should take on that role. But Kamala was popular, she was a great communicator, and the US is in a tenuous place.
I suspect that Nancy and the old guard would have frowned on this. But dammit, I wanted to see that Democrats are still in a fighting mood. That they won't go out with a whimper, but from their snubbing of AOC, to the closeting away of Kamala, or ANY D politician standing up and assuring the half that did not vote for the criminal rapist, that they are still here and fighting for them. Shocking silence.
