Oh no... She's the reason we are stuck with Old Orange Julius Caesar right now.
Anyone who's in denial of this should look up her 2020 presidential campaign. It wasn't the 107 days she had to campaign in 2024. You can't just answer every question by saying you're from a middle class family.
Also, this...
Biden Suggests He Would Only Serve One Term if Elected President
Advisers close to the candidate say he won’t run for reelection in 2024 if elected in 2020.
And then he changed his mind.
If that hadn't happened and they instead had a normal convention, we might be in a much different situation now.
Yup, I remember that! I got a lot of crap for getting angry with Biden and the media before the 2024 election, since he was the candidate that was NotTrump™, but now I see more and more people realizing what happened. Better late than never, I guess.
Hopefully the Democrats will learn from this.
(They won’t. They serve their aipac and corporate donors above all even if it means losing.)
yeah, it totally wasn't the 30% of Americans that refused or failed to vote at all.
And why do you think that is?
Kamala Harris, or any other candidate, isn't just owed votes. She failed to convince those people she was a good choice. That's on her, whether or not you want to admit it.
Please god no. Not her. (Almost) anyone but her.

Wish granted! The ticket will be Hillary Clinton with John Fetterman as her VP!
That's just fucking evil.
Sit the fuck down Kamala. You and Joe already had your chance.
I recall Hillary Clinton saying the same "I'd do it again" nonsense before the 2020 Election. She never even ran for the primary. I'm not too worried Kamala would actually try. I think this is just Harris defending her ego.
I'd rather see the dog shit I scraped off my shoe earlier today run than Kamala.
You fucked things up big time with your incompetent campaign Kamala. You don't have a clue how to run against Traitorapist Trump and you totally lied when you said you would "prosecute the case against him". Stay the hell away now.
and you totally lied when you said you would "prosecute the case against him"
But a new book by Pulitzer Prize-nominated reporter Aaron Glantz challenges that storyline, arguing that Harris not only allowed Steve Mnuchin’s OneWest bank to get away with foreclosing on tens of thousands of state homeowners, but then tried to bury the evidence.
If that name sounds familiar, Mnuchin later became Trump's treasury, from 2017-2021.
She did drop the ball, but I'm also fairly certain she actually won but Elon did some backdoor fuckery to rig the election. She should've won by a huge enough margin that they couldn't rig it. She also needs to disappear now and let someone with some fire run. I would be supportive of AOC running, but we all have seen that this country isn't ready for a woman leader unfortunately.
Ugh don't start with the conspiracies man. That's for the right wing nut jobs. Democrats lost because they keep putting out trash establishment AIPAC candidates against the fascist regime.
Not really a theory when they are admitting to it in front of cameras. But ya, can't really argue your second point. The dems suck.
Someone killed a white family... In the year 1983... Multiple witnesses saw the crime that night. They all agreed: the killer was white.
The police had a different idea in mind. They found a black man to malign. They framed and sentenced him to death. His appeal? Rejected by Harris
Respectfully ms Harris.... You know that whole "suck it up and do what needs to be done to get rid of the fascists"? That applies to you too.
🤮
Spoken like she's not a fucking hired cog. We're in this shit because of her party, her, and old genociden Biden. I would hope Trump would go after her like he's been going after all of his enemies, but I think he probably won't because they are all playing the same fucking game.
She is complicit in fascism.
The DNC is not a viable party any longer.
I'm all ears on your viable alternatives to the single party democracy that we're apparently part of now.
Ranked choice voting and for progressives to start a leftist party.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_the_United_States
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.
25th party it is then.
Good points though, what's the plan for making this 25th party THE leftist party all the other leftists join instead of the other 24? How do you promote leftist unity?
Kamala Harris is a right wing accessory to genocide in Palestine. She actively contribute to the situation by being a total minge. And now she wants to do that again. Fuck this timeline.
She had her chance, and she chose to sellout to the old guard of the DNC and monied interests. Publishing her book where she confirms that she capitulated doesn't make her seem any more interesting, it makes it clear that she's another bullshit liberal politician who doesn't really believe in anything, but is willing to say whatever businesses tell her will get her elected.
Oh, lord, save us. If she runs for the president, Trump might actually become a king.
so, the dnc wants to get trump elected for third term
