Having lost to President-elect Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris has provided a good example of how to infantilize one’s constituents.

For Harris’s first post-election appearance, the Democratic Party shared a video message clipped from a call she held with former running mate Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN). She reminded voters that they “have the same power they had before Nov. 5.” In fact, she included that they also have the same “purpose” and “ability to engage and inspire,” and not to “let anyone or any circumstance” take their power from them.
