And the DNC will prop her up as their preferred candidate and play confused when they lose again
I mean, she was a very successful weak opposition. Remember that politics is a business and they got paid like a billion dollars last time.
You Americans really love trump
You <insertCountryHere>s really love to reduce 330+ million citizens with backgrounds from almost every corner of the planet to having one homogeneous political opinion.
Even after a year of trump and you guys still think Kamala is worse. You deserve everything you get.
Im just an indigenous guy enjoying the self destruction of your racist, terrorist nation, sorry if I’m excited about it 🤷♂️ You guys don’t get to play the victim of your own stupidity
Edit: colonizers mad i called them out for their garbage society
We know Kamala is better.
We also know we can do better than Kamala, and that's Kamala can't win. Kamala spent her entire campaign courting right wing voters. She's more conservative than Bush Sr was.
Eating a pile of horse shit looks great when you're eating a pile of regurgitated horse shit.
Do you honestly believe I voted for Trump, and not Kamala? C'mon dude.
"Colonizers"?
Dude, my blood is from Gujarat, India. I was born in Chicago in the early eighties. I now live in the EU. Am I a "colonizer"?
We hate Trump, but she lost to him once already and she should not run again.
Nothing against her, and by all means, I hope she does throw her hat in the ring, along with a whole slew of other candidates, but I hope she gets Mamdani’d. I hope AOC throws her hat in and we have a real debate about the direction of the party.
Moreover, what a time we are in where two potential candidates for president could be women? Broader forces excluded, that seems like quite a revolutionary time to be alive.
Yep. I think you're right. The next presidential election will certainly be revolutionary.
AOC and Crockett. Though I'm pretty sure Crockett has her sights set on governor. ??
Are we cooked, chat?
Love you, but fuck off, ma'am. Not needed, and it's only for your own ego at this point.
the war's over so the far left and right will struggle to pin that on anyone. minorities have woken up from their nightmare dream of trump and everyone sees trump for the fascist he is
so whether its kamala, gavin or alex it should be a shoo-in for the dems this time around
will see at the midterms i guess
No thanks and no thanks. The best message she had was basically “well, I’m not trump” and air-balled. With the little runway she was afforded, I cared less about her life story, breakout republican alignment and Walz and Vance getting chummy, and more about tackling the very real pressing issues every day people face. The message that she won’t do what trump is likely to do was just a low bar and already understood, or at least implied, and whatever else she had was nebulous and same-old.
I didn’t dislike her, and she would have probably been fine, but she struck me as a B-tier candidate on the best of days.
You're done.
I pinched my nose and voted for you. I pinched my nose and voted for Biden. I pinched my nose (really hard) and voted for Hillary, after I gleefully voted for Bernie in the Primaries.
I know I'm not alone.
I've had enough.
You're done.
WTAF. I mean, if she were to win the primary, I guess most people would be: "eh, okay, I guess I'll vote for her because there is no really any other option", but is there anyone that is truly hyped about the idea of her running?
I toldja she's taking up Hillary's can't put a sock in it for 40 years mantle.
Is this even a useful conversation at this time or just a willing distraction?
What a horrible idea of sabotage. If she runs again, I believe it will be similar to when the DNC picked Hillary over Bernie for the primaries all over again.
Please be done. If you wanted to be a leader, now is the time. Not three years from now.
I mean the interview may be her way of announcing that.
She should have taken some time to recalibrate and push forward and I will give her a shot to differentiate herself from Biden in a way she didn’t before. I don’t think she’s the right way AT ALL for what we truly need but I’m NOT going to be so close sided in my beliefs that they can’t be swayed. At that point, we’d just be the other side of the shitty coin the current admin+supporters are on.
I'm willing to let her change my mind about her. For sure. But ... It seems that what the left wants is more like Bernie and more like AOC. Active participants even if they aren't in power. Advocates for the right thing and holding truth to power.
If this is true, there is a DNC conspiracy to keep Trump as POTUS until he dies.
Time for more parties
And she'll try to cater to the centrist voter just like last time, and lose just like last time too.
"Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact same thing over and over again, expecting to change" ~ Vaas Montenegro
C’mon don’t censor out him swearing! It’s integral to Vaas’ character!
Uncensored version:
“Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact... same fucking thing... over and over again expecting... shit to change... That. Is. Crazy.”
She ignored the centrist voter and went straight to moderate/Bush Republicans
She tried to play towards too many people all at once really. Trump wasn’t committing to anything as he was posturing that he could be either way on an issue, and I think Harris was trying a more toned down version of that. Her bet was that swing state voters were more center or right leaning, but really she almost cemented them being that way with her middle ground approach.
Her actual policy positions were reasonable and passable on their own, but she didn’t bake any risk into her platform. She didn’t try to promise more progressive legislation, which almost assuredly would have helped her and the other Democratic Senators/House members to win their elections.
And she’ll try to cater to the centrist voter just like last time, and lose just like last time too.
Exactly. I fully agree.
She won't make it out of the primaries.
She didn't even poll well in her home state of California last time she tried to win, she won't poll well. Remember how she clapped back at Biden's racist polices and said it personally affected her as a child?
Remember how said she it was a debate and was willing to look the other way when he picked her as VP?
No. we dont want you. you conceeded when you knew you had won. you arent fighting or leading now. you are not what we need or want.
Is she going to stay in the background not in headlines expressing her views of what's happening now, until a few months before the election and repeat the last run?
I personally think Democrats can do better, but whoever that is needs to be getting and keeping their name out there leading the charge.
If there's anything left, you mean.
Maybe when the northern states merge together to form a union after the war.
Do people on here not know how primaries work ? She's not the candidate for President...
If she throws her hat in the ring she likely won't get the nomination but there's no problem with her trying.
Guys, the game is over. Stop acting like there will be a normal election. It is too late to fix the system. America as you know it is over. The future is dictatorship or revolution/war
I was assured by Lemmy that not only she was done, but she stopped existing all together and couldn’t do anything about anything anymore
For fucks sake. I wonder who they will blame when they lose again, because it's never their ineptitude. At least this time it won't be to a carnival barker. It will be something worse than trump
It’ll be the “non-voters” again. It can’t possibly be their own fault or the fault of tens of millions of shitheel racist MAGAs.
Never learn. Rinse, wash, repeat.
Brown and trans people like last time. And then also admit they were cheated but still blame the average citizen, while refusing to push for a certification.
Pretty sure brown and trans people weren't the ones voting the nazi into power.
So she has not learned that some key issues she stupidly defended made her lose against a demented idiot?
Oh fuch! C'mon man! We want anything else than Orange leader, but not repeats. I'm tired of repeats. The law should say "no repeats".
Chat, is she washed???
I voted for Hillary in '16, I voted for Kamala in '24. This is not the time to run another female candidate. I'm not convinced we'll ever have a legitimate election again, but we need someone who fits the mold better. Given the choice, I would vote for Newsom before I voted for Kamala again.
