JFC don't. We don't even want to hear you. I would rather have AOC as a choice over you.

If the Democrats run the same platform/campaign as they did before she'll lose again.

Democrats REALLY need to get it through their thick skulls that the days of campaigning on working alongside people across the aisle are over. that the days of uniting a country are over. Remember, the other side has already KILLED democratic politicians. they even KILL people on their own side they don't agree with.

they need to take the position that while a certain group of people will never support them, they'll still work for them but not with them.

As someone who voted for her, she can fuck off.

I completely wish she won last election... but there's no way we're taking a risk on her again.

I'm not a huge fan of Newsom, but at least he's been loudly attacking this current administration. Maybe she has too, but I don't hear from her in my news cycles.

Unless some progressive comes out and surprises everyone, Newsom will likely be my choice.

Holy fuck, listen I plugged my nose and voted for her last time just like I did with Hillary and Biden, but I am absolutely not voting for Harris a second time. If that happens, the only "enabler" is the Democratic establishment and I don't want to fucking hear "vote blue no matter who" after all this Mamdani shit. Stupid god damn fucking liberals, Jesus Christ.

/ rant

Please no. Someone else.

who is in her circle telling her that this is a good idea? Does she not have any close friends who can speak plainly to her?

You would think having lost to an actual piece of shit would be enough of a reality check. Just stop... ffs. The best thing Kamala can do is fade into obscurity like Al Gore.

Let's not and just say she did. Time to move on.

Kamala, with all due respect, please get mental health treatment for your apparent psychopathy.

Fuck it, let her. She had to drop out of the 2020 primary before voting started because she was on track to lose every single state, and she clearly hasn't become more electable since then. All she could possibly do is siphon some votes and donor money off Newsom or Buttigieg. If that's what she wants to do, I fully support that.

Please fuck off. Let Tim Walz run

You inspired people not to vote. Go away.

Please don't.

Please fucking don't

I will not vote again for Kamala Harris, nor for any other ordinary, boring, middle-of-the-road Democrat. "Vote blue no matter who" brought us to this point, where Democrats are so spineless and compromised, only a handful of elected Dems are willing to oppose fascism. Never again, for me. Give me a candidate worth voting for — that's the only way to get my vote.

Ensure we have no chance of winning.

This is coming from a Californian: I am skeptical, purely in terms of political advantage, that it is a good idea for the Democrats to run a California politician for the presidential slot in 2028 unless they are absolutely extraordinary. Two major potential Democratic 2028 nominees, Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris, are both out of California.

California is going to vote for the Democratic candidate regardless of who it is. If the Democrats nominate a dead orangutan, California will vote for it. It's like the Republicans nominating the governor of Utah. (Actually, my understanding is that the current governor of Utah is kind of a decent guy, has been one of the people tamping down on divisiveness, but still, Republicans just aren't getting a geographic benefit out of nominating him).

I'd be more inclined to think that someone like Gretchen Whitmer, the governor of Michigan, would do well in the general election. She's managed to win over voters in the Midwest, which have been swing states in recent elections, which is what the Democrats might actually not win in 2028. Biden was out of Pennsylvania.

IIRC from past reading, predictions are that 2028 will see some states further in the southeast might becoming swing states; it's not as if the set of swing states are fixed. But I am confident that California will not be among the 2028 swing states short of a cataclysmic political upheaval in the next three years.

All that, of course, is entirely disregarding their policies.

I swear a few weeks ago she was leaving politics

No.

You guys don’t understand, she lost because people forgot how bad trump was, this time people will fall in line

I love how everybody is assuming that there will be a “next election”. I’m not sure that’s guaranteed. Except, maybe, in the way that Russia still has elections.

I mean, I know you can be too alarmist about things, but there’s a very clear and obvious direction of travel in the US right now.

Absolutely not, we really need a fresh pool of candidates, the Democratic elites need to be fired, all of them.

I hope she does just as well in her next primary, as she has in every other primary she's had to compete in

I will splinter the two party system into a thousand little pieces. Mark my words.

fucking delusional

She gone lose again. When she ran the first time she lost before primaries and when she was forced upon us last year she lost then too.

Honestly? Fuck it. Corporate Dems are pushing Newsom hard; I'd love to see Kamala wrestle with being abandoned by everyone she gave up any morals for.

Her pivot away from a winning campaign and buy in on immigration lies by major media companies shows that she's an idiot. Sorry but I would take Hillary Clinton 2.0 before this dumbass. A lack of humanity on gaza is also a clear moral failure.

I think anyone without a policy proposal to end gerrymandering and make housing affordable has too little vision to take on the current moment. Anyone unwilling to sanction Israel is a moral failure.

I'm fine with that, as long as there's an actually democratic primary process.

Fuck off!
