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.

Ranked choice voting and for progressives to start a leftist party.

    I count 24 active leftist parties.

    Several states have ranked choice voting at the state and federal elections level, but forcing the rest of the states to adopt it would likely require a constitutional amendment.

    This is currently the best effort towards fixing the electoral college mess: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact

    But none of this works if we never have another election.

    So, 24 leftist parties and 50 state ranked choice is never going to happen. Now what? Should we make a 25th party?

    Cool, which of them have a name like Bernie Sanders?

    Nobody's knows shit about those tiny parties. Americans follow idols and figureheads. Sadly, name recognition goes way further than it should.
