    On this week’s episode of The Qasim Rashid Show we discuss:

    * This week’s episode will upset some people as I do a deep dive into why Kamala Harris lost the election. My responsibility as a human rights lawyer is not to speak soothing falsehoods, but hard truths. The Democratic Party has lost two winnable Presidential elections in the last three contests, resulting in devastating consequences for the American people. This moment calls for self-reflection and self-analysis. The fate of our republic is literally at stake, and we cannot afford continued failure. In short—what went wrong, and how do we fix it?
