Vice President Kamala Harris showed off the kind of energy her campaign is generating in the final hours before Election Day by starting a "Let's get out the vote!" chant.
Harris summoned all of the charisma and charm she's been holding back to inspire the crowd before her at a rally in the battleground state of Pennsylvania Monday.
Problem being, nobody was inspired enough to actually join in on the chant.
It wasn't like the crowd wasn't in the chanting mood, either. Liberals love chants. And rhymes. Simple messages on par with the Dick and Jane books we all read in kindergarten.
As such, they had already begun chanting "Ka-ma-la."
For whatever reason, the unelected Democrat nominee decided to pivot.
"Let's vote!" she shouted, fist a-pumping. "Let's get out the vote!"
She repeated that second phrase six times, generating zero momentum as the vast majority of the crowd simply stood behind their cellphones and recorded the horrifying scene.
Sensing she had failed to motivate the troops, Harris concluded by yelling, "Let's win!" before taking the path she often does when backed into an awkward situation: unleashing the cackle.
I highly suggest you get vaccinated for secondhand cringe before watching this video.
Kamala tries to get the audience to chant and it was an epic fail. This is so difficult to watch. The cringe is off the charts.

If the Trump campaign doesn't immediately cut an ad with Harris shouting "Let's win!" in a side-by-side with Howard Dean's infamous scream, what are we even doing here?
The key to starting a chant amongst Democrats is to keep it simple. Tight. Three syllables in "Kamala" is asking a lot. You start throwing out phrases with five syllables? Forget about it.
Jeb Bush of "Please clap" fame is probably blushing after seeing this. It's not the first time she's suffered such an embarrassing fate.
Long before she was installed as the Democrat nominee, Vice President Harris had her very own "Please clap" moment when she was introduced to a group of students from historically Black colleges and universities who offered zero applause despite being encouraged by the host upon introduction.
“Please stand as she enters the room,” former White House adviser Keisha Lance Bottoms is heard advising those in attendance. After Harris walks in and greets everyone, Bottoms is forced to state, "You can clap, it’s okay!”
A couple of individuals are seen doing a polite golf clap, while the rest don’t respond to the prodding.

Then, there was the time before her failed 2020 presidential run disintegrated when she asked a crowd at a town hall event in Nevada if they were ready for her to be president. She quickly regretted the question.
“In this election, in the last couple – I mean, maybe couple of months, certainly a few weeks, there’s this whole conversation that has been coming up about electability focused on our campaign,” she explained. “Is America ready for that?”
Several people in the crowd indicated they were not, in fact, with her, shouting "No!"

Kamala, more recently, managed to stun a pretty wild crowd into silence with a weird request for her supporters to shout their own names.
“Now, I want each of you to shout your own name. Do that,” Harris demanded. And wouldn't you know it? They didn't. At all.

The Harris campaign desperately wants you to think she has the oratory skills of Abraham Lincoln or John F. Kennedy, combined with the energy and charisma of Barack Obama.
Then she comes out to a rally and delivers a moment with all the edginess of Steve Buscemi, asking, "How do you do, fellow kids?"
This isn't what a winning campaign looks like, folks.
