Democrats learned nothing from Clinton and Harris attempts of trying to ram candidates down voters throats.
No, you are all wrong here. Let her in, and tell her to be stubborn and stay in until the end, no matter what.
With any luck, she and Gavin will split the Clueless vote and there will be room for someone sane to sneak in there, in spite of the DNC....
2016 Republican primary vibes.
I'll vote blue, no matter who, but I will vote for everyone else before Harris in the primaries.
Imagine you are so hated you are the runner up to Trump and then not having self realization and needing to get it reiterated to you at the expense of the well being of the entire country.
oh god no

Sometimes you take a step back and realize how crazy stuff is because of what's currently assumed. Like people here are already assuming Trump is gonna run. Which is wild because like, whether he even can is highly debatable from a legal standpoint, but we also know that he doesn't give a shit about the law and neither do his followers.
I just hope the Dems have a proper primary for once.
I won't be voting for her, but only because she isn't authentic or left enough. We need real change.
We have certainly, the question is whether our voices will be listened to and empowered or not... and that is much harder to be optimistic about.
The average person in the US I think has changed a lot, you can see it in the way that Trump didn't even try to sell the Iran War, people don't want it and will tear any excuse Trump or his bullshit administration tries to stick to up into shreds and so they see no point in even trying. That feels cynical but on the flipside it also exposes their desperation, the US public is not biting when it is supposed to be biting and as hopeless as we all feel right now that does mean something, it means something big is changing.
I think both parties should split
