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.
Probably the same person that told Hillary to run
She was a token
for some reason Biden chose her as his VP
Because she was friends with his late son and fellow AG Beau.
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.
And to Biden’s credit, he approved of her being willing to challenge him like that.
Her only merit was that she’s not Trump. It’s a very good merit, but let’s hope for some stronger candidate next time, if there ever will be a next time.
Ultimately americans need to turn over 3/4 of their sitting politicians by 2028 or else the power structure will remain unchanged.
She may not be trump in name or appearance but she’s a cog in the same machine
Both parties have been for a long time.
DNC will fail to read the room on 2028. Lesser evil is over, time to earn votes

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.
And if she runs again and becomes the candidate, she’ll lose again.
Kamala, dear, you’re nearly as milquetoast as Biden. You’re female, black, younger Biden. Nobody wanted Biden.
…and so many people didn’t quite f’n get it that if you don’t vote for Harris, you get Trump. Binary choices are easy for kids to understand but hard for American voters.
Have the day you begged for.
We really need to move past First Past the Post, but the people who can institute the change are the people who are elected by FPTP.
Nah, fuck that shit. You’re doing the equivalent of blaming rape victims for what they were wearing.
Harris is Trump, they are both cogs in the same fucking machine, changing the cog doesnt change how the machine functions.
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.
DNC: Newsom/Harris 2028 take it or leave it
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 was originally thinking AOC versus Erica Kirk.
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.
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.”
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?
You had your shot and chose the establishment. Fuck off into the same hole Biden is in.
Yeah, I don’t think Harris is the candidate, but who is? I’m skeptical that democratic voters can reach a consensus on a candidate. I’m sure establishment/moderate Democrats can come to a consensus on their candidate, and progressives can come to a consensus on their candidate, but there’s only one party nomination. Will the progressives vote for the candidate the moderates come up with? Will the moderates vote for the candidate the progressives come up with?
Well said.
Also: will the progressives vote for the candidate progressives come up with? Because there is always the chance that when it boils down to an actual individual, they may not pass some purity test(s) that are typically run against politicians.
Nope, give us someone better
Already working for Trump, Putin, and AIPAC I see.
/u/return2ozma consistently called for no one to vote for Harris, or Biden, during 2024, actively helping Trump to win by sowing defeatist propaganda. They are a Nazi supporter, adjacently.
They don’t care who the DNC runs, they will campaign against them, because no one that makes it through the primary will ever be “pure” enough for this troll.
Edit: your down vote just helps to prove my point. You are an anti-democracy troll.
If they run her again, they deserve to lose.
Agreed, but I don’t trust this particular user to be trying to shove that down our throats again.
“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.
Is this solid candidate in the room with us right now?
