"Mistakes Were Made... But Not by Me" - Kamala Harris
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a shocking post-election analysis, Kamala Harris’s campaign team unveiled the real reason behind her landslide loss to Donald Trump: he had the audacity to run for president. The revelation came during a somber press conference featuring Harris’s campaign manager, Julie Rodriguez who declared Trump’s candidacy “an act of interference that undermined democracy itself.”
“Let’s be clear,” Rodriguez stated, adjusting her short collar as beads of sweat collected on her brow. “If Donald Trump hadn’t entered the race, Kamala Harris would have won by a landslide. This is a textbook example of how democracy fails when the wrong people participate.”
The campaign also took issue with Trump’s “unfair” strategy of, as they described it, “convincing people to vote for him.” Rodriguez accused Trump of “weaponizing ideas” and “deploying coherent sentences,” a tactic they argue was wildly inappropriate given the current political climate.
The Breakdown of Blame
Among the laundry list of grievances, the campaign specifically called out Trump for:
Speaking in complete paragraphs.
Campaigning in states other than California and New York.
Using “facts” instead of the preferred “vibes-based narrative.”
Harris herself addressed the controversy in her signature eloquent style. “When we think about thinking, and when we think about thoughts, we must think about what it means to think,” she said. “And let’s think about this: if he hadn’t run, we wouldn’t have lost.”
Political analysts were quick to jump on the campaign’s messaging. “The Harris team has really cracked the code here,” said pundit Carol Spinster. “Their groundbreaking discovery—that you’re less likely to lose when the other guy doesn’t show up—is sure to revolutionize political science.”
Unprecedented Solutions
In response to this devastating defeat, the Harris campaign has announced a bold new strategy for 2028: petitioning Congress to ban any challengers from running against her. “This is about fairness,” Rodriguez explained. “If she runs unopposed, it ensures the kind of equality and justice Kamala stands for.”
Harris, appearing on a morning talk show to elaborate, said, “Fairness is about being fair. And fairness is best when it’s fair to everyone, especially me. And that’s what fairness is.”
The Media Reaction
Major news outlets immediately sprang into action, echoing the campaign’s sentiments. MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow declared, “This is an assault on Kamala Harris’s right to lose gracefully without competition.” The New York Times ran the headline: “The True Victim of the 2024 Election: Democracy, as Seen Through Kamala Harris.”
A Post-Mortem of Genius
Political strategists have praised Harris’s campaign for its unparalleled creativity. From focusing exclusively on TikTok dances to her policy proposal to make tampons mandatory in every room of the Pentagon, her unique vision captivated some voters. However, others claim her infamous “Circle of Circle Back” speech—where she spent 27 minutes explaining the concept of explaining things—may have hurt her chances.
As one former supporter lamented, “She’s great at being Kamala Harris. Unfortunately, America isn’t ready for…whatever that is.”
Trump Responds
Meanwhile, Trump weighed in during a victory rally, saying, “Kamala ran the worst campaign in history, maybe ever. It was tremendous to watch. Her numbers were lower than a Biden nap count. Sad!”
Harris’s team has vowed to appeal the results directly to the United Nations, claiming voter suppression, the Electoral College, and—most egregiously—the presence of voters who preferred Trump.
As for Harris, she remains undeterred. “Failure is just the first step toward success,” she said. “And success is just failure that didn’t fail enough to succeed at failing.”
The Future Awaits
Though her campaign has ended, Kamala Harris’s legacy lives on in her supporters, who are currently working on her memoir, The Audacity of Everybody Else’s Fault: A Kamala Harris Story. And who knows? With four more years to refine her word salad recipes, she might just make another run for the presidency—assuming nobody else dares to run against her.

If you're here looking for Kamala Harris's book, sorry to disappoint—this is a parody. The real book doesn’t exist (yet), but rumor has it she pre-ordered 20 million copies and has only sold four so far—all to family members. Better luck next time!
