I agree with this but I just don't think it's realistic that Harris slinks away in 2028. I don't see her as power hungry per se, but I do see her really enjoying being "the first" especially as it pertains to race and gender. She will not accept anything short of the Dem Convention nomination after a second VP term.
For anyone viewing this comment thread, be aware that the tactic being used here is a common tactic among disingenuous and bad faith actors.
The tactic is to first make a volley that is divisive and controversial, usually lacking in respectful tone or tact with how brazenly illogical it is. Then once engaged with at the appropriate level (calling bullshit what it is), retreats into appeals for civility and decorum as it pertains to rational debate.
The subject being promoted here is not rational, the consequences are not beneficial to society at large, and this person only wants to cling to civility when it benefits him to do so, in order to appear to be a sympathetic victim in comparison to the other person in the dialogue.
Don't fall for this transparent ruse. Learn to identify this pattern. @Unhappily_Coerced has no intention of advancing a real debate.
You straight up called me dumb as cardboard in another comment... In this same thread.
You are the least serious participant in this discussion.
So, no, this isn't the logical outcome of democracy.
This is a democratically elected official (the sheriff) violating a law that went through the legitimate policy making process of the CA state government. This is not the result of direct democracy, it's the result of a politician class that sees itself as exempt from ethics and law. See also: this SCOTUS, republican grifters

Oh THANK GOD you arrived at just this point of my life to shine light on the fact I'm stupid as shit. WHEW!! Now I can no longer be burdened with any decision making for the rest of my life. What would I have done without your scathing insight and rapier wit??? I shudder to imagine all the pitfalls I would have befallen without the kind and gracious light you've now shone on my life.
Hey everyone! Let's make @Unhappily_Coerced dictator for life! He's solved racism! Surely he has all the answers to the rest of society's ills!
It says a lot to me that when DeSantis was directly asked about a response to the criticism that the ad is homophobic, his reaction is to defend the use of the clips showing Trump making public comments supporting the LGBTQ community. It blows my mind that DeSantis seems to have this complete blind spot and inability to see his own inhumanity.
I'm reminded of when he was credibly accused by a detainee at Guantanamo Bay of practicing torture on the detainees there. A reporter asked DeSantis to comment on this accusation and DeSantis got immediately hostile and defensive and replied that there's no way the detainee could remember something from 10+ years ago. But DeSantis never said: I don't have that in me to do to another person, surely this accusation isn't true. He said: you can't prove it was me. That is not exactly a denial of cruelty.
We should hasten to limit this man's influence and access to power.
Wow. This kind of mickey mouse attempt to prove affirmative action is "reverse racism" was invented by literal teenagers in conservative/Republican student groups across university campuses in the 1990's. Not only is it a total misunderstanding of how affirmative action works, it's full blown trite at this point.
Upsetting that this passes for TV journalism and I'm upset for those people interviewed who had to undergo experiencing this microaggression for the sake of this inept clown to try to make a point.
Normally I would interpret this to mean she's being vetted for a VP pick, so she needs to distance herself from the fringe, but nope: they're just mad she's keeping it too real with Boebert.
It's disappointing that justices on both sides of the aisle have done this except for Chief Justice Roberts, but I'm picturing Roberts staying home every weekend because no one wants to hear what he has to say about anything. Lolol
Nothing I say can make you see people of color as worth dignity, so I don't care to expend the energy to try to convince you.
