I'm voting for Katie Porter
post
Director of Open AI, Palantir, Mozilla or IBM?
Probably referencing that they provided the calculation machines that the third Reich used
You mean other than the fact that they're the world's biggest patent troll?
Nevermind the sham that is Open AI's supposed purpose, you want Palantir to succeed??
Now, an announcement that she won't run for President again would be even more welcome.
This is good news! I am sure the prison population is cheering the news.
How Kamala Harris Fought to Keep Nonviolent Prisoners Locked Up (...past their sentencing for cheep labor.)
I found it fascinating that right wingers labeled her simultaneously both, easy on crime and a hawk
Damn, remember when she placed 5th in her home state during the 2020 primary?
Lost to Andrew Fucking Yang.
Remember on that primary debate stage, when Tulsi called her BS out? That was THE moment to treasure. Kamala was the first to drop out, and the least liked back then.
What are you talking about? Yang dropped out before the CA primary, and Harris dropped out the December before the first primary happened. She wasn't even on the ballot.
The whole Democratic party is just... done. They really F'd it all up for the rest of us. Remember, SCOTUS handed them complete power months before Biden left office and they did nothing. They sold us out. They also cater to the rich and never make substantial changes that benefit the American people. I highly recommend John Stewarts latest podcast, where he interviews someone who really gets it. We need politicians who do what they say they will do, not "whatever the people want... today." The racists bigots in the Repugnican party only respond to power. We need a powerful leader, not a bunch of weak, insider-stock traders.
Such hate for the mildly imperfect.
She was the least liked in the 2020 primary. I cringed when Biden picked her for VP and when he picked Merrick Garland for Attorney General. All around shit choices.
The general election is over, and it is no longer necessary to defend the contents of that list, to include Kamala Harris.
They don't want the needle moving to the left. So she was just shy of absolute perfection and was failed by the villainous electorate.
In 2028, it will be very bizarre to see Kamala Harris running for president again with the support of Sam Altman and on the other side the Republican candidate with the support of Peter Thiel.
What was even the point of Biden dropping out if his replacement wasn't going to change anything?! Ugh. What a waste.
Yeah. I put all my chips on her cuz I had no choice. I beat the drums and shouted the rallying cries. But she’s not what America needs. Her sparse discussions on policy and dismissal of the most vulnerable and impressionable voting demographics do not paint a rosy picture of what would happen should she be handed the keys in 2026.
I agree, but her anti-immigration policies go directly against the spirit of California. I'd rather see someone up there with better sensibilities for their constituents, especially in times like these.
It's because Elani's billionaire father already bought the position and "nobody better dare try to challenge her!"

Shit, this means she's gonna run for President again
It'll be a long arduous road if she plans on losing to Eric in 2028, but I'm fully confident in her ability.
I think it'd Donald Jr who will run, they won't even need to change the monograms on the gold toilet seat covers
So she will no longer have a Nixon-like route.
What did Nixon do? (That pertains to this lmao)
Nixon was the Republican candidate for the 1960 election and lost to JFK.
Then, in 1962, he ran as a Republican candidate for governor of California and lost again to a Democrat.
He then ran for president in 1968 and won, but had to resign his second term due to the Watergate scandal.
Good. But that just means she's trying for President again in '28 which is bad.
I mean, she would have made an adequate President, in the same way that Velveeta can be adequate cheese.

Cop history aside, I actually do like Kamala and think she did an AMAZING job of trying to salvage the shitfest that biden et al left her with. But she is already a failure, she is brown, and she is a she. She would need to run the greatest campaign ever to even stand a chance in the United States.
That said... I do darkly worry that the Democrats might have trouble finding good candidates for POTUS since there is a non zero chance that seal team six gets sent after them because it is an official act...
