Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Former US Vice-President Kamala Harris has told the BBC she may run again for the White House.

In her first UK interview, Harris said she would "possibly" be president one day and was confident there will be a woman in the White House in future.

Making her strongest suggestion to date that she will make another presidential bid in 2028 after losing to Donald Trump last year, Harris dismissed polls that put her as an outsider to become the Democrats' pick for the next election.

Speaking to Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Harris also turned her fire on her former rival, branding Trump a "tyrant", and said warnings she made about him on the campaign trail had been proved right.

Love you, but fuck off, ma'am. Not needed, and it's only for your own ego at this point.

Fuck you Kamala. Fuck you DNC. We only want AOC or similar.

And she'll try to cater to the centrist voter just like last time, and lose just like last time too.

C’mon don’t censor out him swearing! It’s integral to Vaas’ character!

Uncensored version:

Exactly. I fully agree.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 9 points 1 week ago

"centrist" is so far right the word has no meaning.

[–] cattywampas@midwest.social 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

She won't make it out of the primaries.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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?~~

Please don’t

[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 30 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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.

[–] Quexotic 4 points 1 week ago

Yep. I think you're right. The next presidential election will certainly be revolutionary.

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.

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

Seriously though, don't.

[–] 1orangecat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] JennyLaFae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I honestly believe the DNC doesn't want to win.

[–] skeezix@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

they didnt want Bernie to win. Because they love their lobby money too.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 week ago

If this is true, there is a DNC conspiracy to keep Trump as POTUS until he dies.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 8 points 1 week ago

Your opinion is noted, Russia.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 week ago

Muthafuggas think there's gonna be an election... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 😐

[–] shiroininja@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago
[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 week ago

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.

If she even comes close to trying again she's gonna get ratiod so hard.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Fuck off Kamala.

Never underestimate the opposition party’s thirst for defeat.

[–] discosnails@lemmy.wtf 11 points 1 week ago

God damn it.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is this even a useful conversation at this time or just a willing distraction?

[–] ButtermilkBiscuit@feddit.nl 5 points 1 week ago

I think it might be a pretty short conversation if she has to run in a real primary.

[–] NeilBru@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

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?

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 10 points 1 week ago

I toldja she's taking up Hillary's can't put a sock in it for 40 years mantle.

[–] iridebikes@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Please be done. If you wanted to be a leader, now is the time. Not three years from now.

[–] blackbearjesus27@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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.

For love of democracy, DONT!

[–] Xenny@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Please no for the love of God I'd rather you run Biden again

[–] bagsy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] AshMan85@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Time for more parties

[–] Redditsux@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Just no. thank you!

[–] NorthoftheBorder@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

What a disaster that would be.

[–] dmtalon 5 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] JHRD1880@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 5 points 1 week ago

If there's anything left, you mean.

Maybe when the northern states merge together to form a union after the war.
