    I hope she does run again, because this time she’ll have to face a contested primary. I can’t wait to laugh my ass off when Kamala garners less than 3% of the primary votes. Hope the dumbass DNC wastes several hundred million on her before that happens too, serves them right to back corpo trash like Harris. Not like they’ll ever learn the right lessons from any of this anyway.

      every second you spend berating the democrats, the right grows stronger. pick your battles friendo. I’m sure your contempt feels good but it’s not flipping anyone’s vote for midterms. focus on what’s important, please.

        And what is important? The DNC pushing nationally unelectable, unpopular candidates down the throat of the electorate during primaries, so they can lose the general election to the republican candidate like Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Kamala Harris in 2024?

      So your choice is between a “corpo trash like Harris” and a fascist pedophile like Trump? You guys are fucked.

        If the establishment power structure has its way, yes. We require significant reforms to allow the people to have a voice in this alleged “democracy.”

    She was the least popular candidate in 2020, but for some reason Biden chose her as his VP. Then she lost to Donald Trump in 2024, after practically being forced onto the ticket. And she’s still thinking about running again?

    JFC. Whoever is telling her this is a good idea, needs to be fired.

      That’s the problem with the DNC putting identity politics over matters of policy. And I don’t even use that term in the same sense as the right-wing anti-DEI psychosis.

      DEI is a matter of policy. Choosing a milquetoast establishment neoliberal solely because she’s a woman of color is identity politics.

      It’s better to nominate a progressive regardless of race, gender, or sexuality, than it is to nominate the most intersectional minority who panders to the right-wing “moderates.”

      The Dems lost in 2016 because they forced Hillary on everyone when they wanted Bernie. Clearly they still haven’t learned their lesson…

          Michelle Obama is an immensely qualified and insightful human being for a number of reasons and BitchBoyBurr sold his soul to bonesaw McGee and the oil bunch without a second thought and then whined like the pathetic little supplicant he is at heart when people called him out for it. Fuck him forever.

          Talked mad shit about those billionaires until they offered him a check finally. Turned out he was just jealous.

        She also took the most aggressive and direct shot at Biden that I can recall during the primary with her criticism of Biden’s position on busing.

    I’d love for her to run again and take votes away from Gavin Newsom in the primary so an actual working class candidate can win the nomination.

    If she wants to win, she needs to be out there today pushing back against the regime. Instead, there’s crickets. That’s a “No” vote from me.

    I think Kamala would be a okay President (as in, “not a fucking idiot” ), however she’s still a corporate pawn, Israeli shill and centre right like most other Dems who’s main selling point is “not Trump”. There are few good options within the whole party who actually support social agendas and not whatever a company’s lobbyists or Zionists are paying them to support.

    But more crucially, she’s a woman, and not white and for 50% of the voting population (i.e. the ones who actually get off the couch to go vote), their racism and misogyny is more than enough reason to not vote for her - in fact, they’d relish in not doing so as it supports their fundamental principles of being a cunt.

    Sadly, the voting idiots of he United States would just elect Donald Trump again if K.H. ran again… even if it meant digging up his dead body…because let’s stop lying. It wasn’t about het being “chosen” without a primary. She lisy because she was a woman and she was black. Americans will not elect s female president, probably within the next 50 years. Misogyny is alive and well, burning brightly right beside racism, in America. I say that as a white man who had seen and heard every excuse and every lie. Americans are stupid. That’s the bottom line. They are ignorant and uneducated, and don’t want to be educated. They enjoy their ignorance and their racism and misogyny. They will not change until the Boomers and Gen X (I’m Gen X) are dead and buried because those two generations are a millstone around the neck of this nation. Sadly, we’re bringing up an apathetic pair of generations in the form of Gen Z and Gen Alpha who just don’t care about anything beyond their pet causes and social media accounts. In the last 30 years, Americans have thrown our once great nation to its knees and they’re guilty of raping lady liberty as surely as the Epstein rapists and murderers are guilty of the crimes they committed. I worry that ghhd country I grew up loving is going to have to burn to ash before it can be recovered…IF it can be recovered…which is justifiably questionable. Anyone saying Trump was a better choice should be forced to move to Russia…along with thd people who voted for him - or “obstained” and got him elected. This IS America’s WORST GENERATION.

    God. Dammit.

    No more fucking neolibs. No Newsom, no Kamala, no Hillary, no Shapiro — fuck the lot of them. We must do everything in power to stop any and every neoliberal traitor from being nominated in 2028.

    “A secret postmortem of Harris’s performance by the DNC found that her major issue with voters stemmed from Biden’s poor handling of Israel’s massacre in Gaza and her own refusal to break with him on it, a policy choice that fundamentally soured support from progressives and young voters.”

    This statement and seeing who posted it disregards the entire article. This is an attempt to undermine a solid democratic candidate to help the right win in 2028 nothing more.

    Alright, lose to AOC in the primary then.

    I mean, at this point AOC is the only good option possible out of who is looking at running. If there’s someone with a better chance and track record, I am all ears.

    I mean, if she manages to win a contested primary, she’ll be a better candidate.

    If nothing else, maybe she and Gavin will split the Goober vote and let some fresh blood in

      I bet the super delegates push both of them until it’s just those two. Then they will have a battle of the corporate shill old guards.
