[Kamala Harris] understands that most of us will never be afforded the grace of failing forward, we will never benefit from the affirmative action of generational wealth. If we bankrupt the business or choke in a crisis, we do not get a second, third or fourth chance. If things do not go our way, we do not have the luxury of whining or cheating others to get further ahead. No. We don't get to change the rules so we always win. If we see a mountain in front of us, we don't expect there to be an escalator waiting to take us to the top. No. We put our heads down. We get to work. In America, we do something.
-- Former First Lady Michelle Obama speaking at the Democratic National Convention, 20 August 2024
