The finger-pointing and introspective naval gazing have been off-the-charts hilarious these past few weeks. It's as if they've collectively come out of a wounded trance, where they were frozen in denial and despair, and have suddenly realized there's really no "Democratic Party" to speak of any more that can hammer them for peeping up less mind letting fly.

I mean, seriously - who's in charge of this cluster at the moment?

The vegetable-in-chief and titular party head spent most of the campaign gleefully shivving the nominee every chance he got before basically blowing what lip-service respect as pater familia he was ever going to retain when he pardoned his tax-cheatin', crackhead, whoremongering, gun-chuckin' son.

POTATUS took off on safari and left DOCTOR Jill to answer questions and the party holding the bag after years of intoning... 

NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW

Who are they kidding?

Puts me right to sleep, too.

BIDEN FALLS ASLEEP DURING AFRICAN SUMMIT.

Last night Biden gave away $1 billion from U.S. taxpayers to homeless people in Africa. Democrats hate the American people.pic.twitter.com/caqloHK9dD

So if Biden can't lay the hammer down for party discipline, who's left?

I can't think of anyone with enough gravitas and political capital left to be able to do it. Pelosi and Obama's coup, with its spectacular flame-out, has left them wandering in the wilderness. Obama's brand, in particular, has lost its luster, and he was never the sort who connected on a personal level with his off-putting manner and superiority complex lurking right below the surface during any encounter.

But his constant nagging over his disappointment in black men who didn't do as they were told and the high-handed way he went about lecturing adult males concerning their failings as humans in his eyes, well. The Lightbringer's fan club shrank a fair bit during the summer as his appeal to his own authority and the aspersions cast on black men by it rubbed the wrong way. 

These few paragraphs from a left-leaning piece speak to Obama hitting that nerve.

...Obama, while speaking to staffers at a Harris campaign office in Pennsylvania, suggested that misogyny and sexism are the culprits of the lack of Black men’s support for Harris. “Part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that,” said Obama. Obama also spoke about former President Trump’s history with Black men, potentially alluding to past actions such as an ad demanding the “exonerated” Central Park Five be given the death penalty as well as Trump’s federal lawsuit for failing to rent to Black families.

Unpacking Obama’s comments, he suggests: 

• Black men are blinded by their gender to see the value of Harris as president. 
• Black men do not understand the impact of another Trump presidency on democracy, crime, family policies, the economy, and health care access.
• Trump does not respect Black men and will harm Black communities.

Among most Black men, there is consensus—Obama went too far and needed to “watch his tone.” The call on the carpet has cracked the privacy screens across Black men’s social networks and brought conversations that normally occur when building “community in the dark” into the light...

There are no power brokers left to herd the Democratic cats, and now, after realizing there are no immediate consequences for trying to get clear of the wreckage of the campaign while blaming everyone but themselves, the kittehs are getting out of the bag and doing exactly that.

Pointing fingers and saying, "We shoulda/Why didn't we?"

Even the Harris campaign chairs are out trying to defend themselves - no time, hurricanes, Trump, waah.

It's not going so well.

This is why Trump won. LOL

IOW: ~"Don't believe your lying eyes. Kamala Harris did lots of interviews. wahhh disinformation wahhh" - Kamala Campaign Chair

No liar. We remember Kamala hiding for 2 months — for the vibe & joy campaign 😂 — until her poll numbers started sinking

It's going to be much worse for them, whatever their spin is now because folks who won't take no for an answer are demanding a reckoning and an accounting.

Wow. James Carville demands an AUDIT of the Harris/Walz campaign finances 😳pic.twitter.com/iC3JYMqED3

It's quite possible, besides being terrible with money, that they were nowhere near as clever as they thought they were.

Incredible. Bob Brady, chairman of the Philadelphia Democratic Party since 1986, says he was completely ignored by the Harris campaign -- unlike any Dem nominee in decades. Says he never once spoke to Kamala. This guy runs the Dem machine in the most critical city in the country! pic.twitter.com/aBoYK4gqL7

But the timid opinion, analyst, and punditry class of the Democratic hierarchy, who had clutched hankies to their lips at Biden's debate performance, but were loathe to interfere when George Clooney stepped in off a sound stage to help execute a coup against a sitting president, have all started to find their voices.

Everyone has something to say.

Mark Halperin is blaming Biden for running for president.

...“Joe Biden chose to run, knowing that his son had done these things. Joe Biden lied in the debate about whether Hunter got money from China. Joe Biden lied about whether he went to meetings with Hunter’s business associates. Joe Biden lied about his family receiving money,” Halperin said. “He chose to run knowing his son had an addiction problem and that this would put the spotlight on his past activities that he knew about and lied about whether he knew about them.”

“So you want to talk about culpability and responsibility. You want to talk about loving your son. If my son were an addict and had done what Hunter did and Joe knew he did, I wouldn’t run for president,” he continued. “So if he wants to say who’s responsible for this, he can blame his own Justice Department, he can blame the independent counsel. He can blame the judges. He can blame Donald Trump, but he’s responsible for his surviving son’s plight right now by choosing to run for president.”

David Plouffe wasn't quite so harsh, but he's now voicing the opinion that, gosh - it might oughta have been better if they were gonna coup Joe to, like, maybe...have a primary instead of just anointing someone.

Ya think?

David Plouffe, a top aide to the Harris campaign, told The Atlantic that the Democratic Party's lack of a primary for the presidential candidate was "the cardinal sin" during a discussion about the campaign's loss to President-elect Donald Trump.

"I’m not sure, given the headwinds, any Democrat could have won. But if we had a primary in which a bunch of people ran and auditioned… through that process, whoever emerged… would have been a more fully formed person, would have had more time to mount a general election campaign. [Not having that process] is the cardinal sin," Plouffe told The Atlantic.

Oh, if only he'd said something sooner!

But back in the Spring, he'd have lost his head, as would any of the other voices now saying, "As I've said all along..."

The only person I can honestly say I remember objecting to the entire process vociferously and taking his money home in protest has been Florida super lawyer John Morgan. He let them keep his initial million and never gave them another red...well, blue cent.

WHOA: John Morgan, founder of the Morgan & Morgan law firm and a major Democratic campaign donor, says he won’t support Kamala Harris.

And he has been brutal in his post-mortem assessment appearances.

Everyone else seems to be checking both sides of the street to make sure it's clear before they open their mouths.

Hey, y'all - there's nothing left of the Democratic train to run you over. The coast is clear.

Have at it!

We all want to hear what 'really' happened.
