The Joy Is Gone – Democrats Launch Blame Game After Shocking Loss: “Tim Walz Was a Bad Choice – Focus on Fascism Was Not Working”

The joy is gone. Democrats woke up to the horror of another Donald Trump administration.

What went wrong? Who is to blame?

It did not take Democrats long to point fingers at the white man behind their loss: Tim Walz.

FOX reporter Jacqui Heinrich spoke with Harris-Walz surrogate Lindi Li following Kamala’s defeat. Li, who is a member of the DNC Finance Committee shared her diagnosis – It was the weird running mate, Tim Walz.

Yeah, calling your opponents “garbage” and “racists” is not a very hopeful message.

The blame game has begun inside Harris world.

Harris-Walz surrogate @lindyli, a member of the DNC National Finance Committee and PA commissioner tells me:
