Kamala Harris says she is not done with politics and strongly suggested that she is considering another bid for president in a new interview.

In an interview scheduled to air on the BBC on Sunday morning, Harris says that she would “possibly” be the next president, making the clearest suggestion to date that she will make another run for the White House in 2028 despite lagging far behind in the polls.

Harris insisted that she had not yet made a decision, but that she was confident that there will eventually be a woman in the White House and her political career is not over.

Oh no... She's the reason we are stuck with Old Orange Julius Caesar right now.

Anyone who's in denial of this should look up her 2020 presidential campaign. It wasn't the 107 days she had to campaign in 2024. You can't just answer every question by saying you're from a middle class family.

Also, this...

Biden Suggests He Would Only Serve One Term if Elected President

Advisers close to the candidate say he won’t run for reelection in 2024 if elected in 2020.

And then he changed his mind.

If that hadn't happened and they instead had a normal convention, we might be in a much different situation now.

[–] danielton1@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yup, I remember that! I got a lot of crap for getting angry with Biden and the media before the 2024 election, since he was the candidate that was NotTrump™, but now I see more and more people realizing what happened. Better late than never, I guess.

Hopefully the Democrats will learn from this.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 3 points 3 days ago

(They won’t. They serve their aipac and corporate donors above all even if it means losing.)

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

yeah, it totally wasn't the 30% of Americans that refused or failed to vote at all.

[–] danielton1@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And why do you think that is?

Kamala Harris, or any other candidate, isn't just owed votes. She failed to convince those people she was a good choice. That's on her, whether or not you want to admit it.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world -4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

nobody believes that bullshit anymore.

[–] danielton1@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If that's true, then we will be under MAGA rule for the foreseeable future. And I don't know about you, but I don't want that.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

nor do I, so I vote for anyone not MAGA. like I did in November.

[–] danielton1@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Great, but most people aren't going to show up to the polls if they're not convinced that either candidate is any good.

The purpose of a presidential campaign is to convince the people that this candidate is a good choice. The Harris campaign failed to do that for the majority of Americans. If the left keeps gaslighting themselves into thinking she ran this flawless campaign, like you are, they are unlikely to win in the future.

Losing seems like a pretty big flaw to me, especially considering how many people didn't even show up.

[–] Smeagol666@crazypeople.online 2 points 2 days ago

I agree with you 100%, but here on Lemmy it's almost as bad as Reddit when it comes to the pretend-leftist circle-jerk; like I'm barking at the fucking Moon.

[–] knight_alva@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Please god no. Not her. (Almost) anyone but her.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

[Monkey's paw curls finger]

Wish granted! The ticket will be Hillary Clinton with John Fetterman as her VP!

[–] Smeagol666@crazypeople.online 1 points 2 days ago

That's just fucking evil.

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 18 points 4 days ago
[–] Ascrod@midwest.social 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Sit the fuck down Kamala. You and Joe already had your chance.

I recall Hillary Clinton saying the same "I'd do it again" nonsense before the 2020 Election. She never even ran for the primary. I'm not too worried Kamala would actually try. I think this is just Harris defending her ego.

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

I'd rather see the dog shit I scraped off my shoe earlier today run than Kamala.

[–] btaf45@midwest.social 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

You fucked things up big time with your incompetent campaign Kamala. You don't have a clue how to run against Traitorapist Trump and you totally lied when you said you would "prosecute the case against him". Stay the hell away now.

[–] spider@midwest.social 9 points 3 days ago

and you totally lied when you said you would "prosecute the case against him"

And speaking of which:

But a new book by Pulitzer Prize-nominated reporter Aaron Glantz challenges that storyline, arguing that Harris not only allowed Steve Mnuchin’s OneWest bank to get away with foreclosing on tens of thousands of state homeowners, but then tried to bury the evidence.

If that name sounds familiar, Mnuchin later became Trump's treasury, from 2017-2021.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

She did drop the ball, but I'm also fairly certain she actually won but Elon did some backdoor fuckery to rig the election. She should've won by a huge enough margin that they couldn't rig it. She also needs to disappear now and let someone with some fire run. I would be supportive of AOC running, but we all have seen that this country isn't ready for a woman leader unfortunately.

[–] magguzu@midwest.social 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ugh don't start with the conspiracies man. That's for the right wing nut jobs. Democrats lost because they keep putting out trash establishment AIPAC candidates against the fascist regime.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago

Not really a theory when they are admitting to it in front of cameras. But ya, can't really argue your second point. The dems suck.

Someone killed a white family... In the year 1983... Multiple witnesses saw the crime that night. They all agreed: the killer was white.

The police had a different idea in mind. They found a black man to malign. They framed and sentenced him to death. His appeal? Rejected by Harris

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 8 points 3 days ago
[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 8 points 3 days ago

Respectfully ms Harris.... You know that whole "suck it up and do what needs to be done to get rid of the fascists"? That applies to you too.

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Spoken like she's not a fucking hired cog. We're in this shit because of her party, her, and old genociden Biden. I would hope Trump would go after her like he's been going after all of his enemies, but I think he probably won't because they are all playing the same fucking game.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today -3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So glad she didn't get elected! So much peace in Gaza since daddy trump took over! He was so much better than the alternative.

JFC you people are fucking unhinged. Can't vote for someone unless they tick every box right? Especially to the detriment of the innocent lives lost in Palestine. You personally have their blood on your hands.

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works -3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

as this country burns to a char and Trump's fucks put you genocidal neocap blue maga in his cross hairs, i and many other actual leftists will gleefully step aside and let him finish the shit you cunts started. now crawl your brown baby killing ass back to whats left of npr and reddit and cry about it while the rest of us do actual front-line work. fuck you.

[–] nixus@anarchist.nexus 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

She supported bombing innocent people. She let people rot in prison, for things that she laghed off. She openly lied to everyone when lives were on the line. She supported Genocide.

...unless they tick every box right...

I'm not sure you understand what that phrase means. Try putting up someone who isn't a monster next time.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Love how you mention the two things a specifically talk shit about. But do go on and tell me more about myself.

And make no mistake, there will be no stepping aside for you. Your lazy protest non voting ass will be right next to me, if not preceded by.

Big lol on that pathetic attempt at a "I know what you are but what am I?"elementary school comeback. That actually gave me a genuine chuckle.

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works -4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

eat glass shards you nazi cuck

edit: (and keep making your 100 additional sock puppet accounts for vote manipulation. you're not fooling anyone. we see your modlog. god you redditor bots really suck the life out of the internet, on whole.)

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 0 points 2 days ago

Seriously provide proof of this vote manipulation bullshit you're making up, cause you just admitted to abusing your mod privileges to get some kinda gotcha in this bullshit non argument.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lol you tankies are just like the trumptards with your parroting of the same shit over and over ad naseum. Tell us all about these "bluemaga" nazis that you're convinced I am. Fucking braindead dolts the lot of y'all.

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

lol ok genocide supporting cunt. keep creating all your sock puppet accounts. pretty sure mods over at lemmy.today would love to boot your nazi ass based on your modlog history.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Also are seriously accusing me of vote manipulation? Cause that's fucking rich coming from a mod that just openly admitted to abusing their privileges. So you may wanna provide some kinda proof or stfu.

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

lmfao a mod? god you're dumb.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So where's this proof of vote manipulation? Cause so far you've shown dick all.

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i reported your stupid ass to to your instance. your modlog is trash. have fun, loser.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 0 points 2 days ago

So grown up of you 🙄

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today -1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Whatever, I'm embarrassed to have stuck up for you a few weeks ago. You are a bad person and you should feel bad. Tell me how your support for trump makes anything other than a Nazi.

And stalking my profile? Lol, I know I have the moral high ground now cause I didn't resort to such childish and toxic behavior. Eat a whole bag of dicks tankie.

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i'm embarrassed 100,000 kids are dead because of people like you

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You need to take a little longer than a short peek in a mirror. Cause ya boi trump is the one in fucking charge right now you fucking braincel inbred.

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 days ago

Go kill more brown kids and claim it was for safety of liberals.

[–] YesButActuallyMaybe@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

Kamala Harris is a right wing accessory to genocide in Palestine. She actively contribute to the situation by being a total minge. And now she wants to do that again. Fuck this timeline.

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago

She had her chance, and she chose to sellout to the old guard of the DNC and monied interests. Publishing her book where she confirms that she capitulated doesn't make her seem any more interesting, it makes it clear that she's another bullshit liberal politician who doesn't really believe in anything, but is willing to say whatever businesses tell her will get her elected.

[–] AshleyToAshes@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Oh, lord, save us. If she runs for the president, Trump might actually become a king.

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

so, the dnc wants to get trump elected for third term

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world -3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

do it. but I hope the DNC learned its lesson that you can't play the same shitty games like they have been since 2016.

[–] spider@midwest.social 7 points 3 days ago

you can't play the same shitty games like they have been since 2016.

Oh, it's been going on for much longer than that.
