Why did she run the first time? Why was she selected as VP after getting zero votes in the primary? Why was she pushed as the only option after Biden finally dropped out? Why is she still being discussed?
The fact that this is happening is showing that real decisions are being made without the voters being involved and whoever is making those decisions will win either way.
Also can someone post the article, it’s paywalled.
Republicans.
I’m a communist I think it’ll be funny if she runs
neoliberal, centrist Democrats.
But I guess I spelled Republican again.
why not run a milquetoast loser again???
What’s wrong? You don’t like tax credits and genocide?
Not it
Nobody
Exactly, she can’t even beat a child rapist in an election.
Just stop already.
She knows she wouldn’t win. Just wants to fundraise, lose and sell another book.
I’m telling you, Democrats don’t care about winning at all
They needed someone out there on day 1 after the election to be the face and the presence of the DNC as a clear personality for the next run. Instead it’s likely you will get someone in the last five minutes.
I do. She wasn’t just the only candidate who was not an evil egocentric conman, but would have continued policies for the long term improvement in the country.
My biggest complaint against Biden policies was this country is too schizophrenic for policies that build over a long term. Another 4 years might have gotten the ball rolling enough so they couldn’t be turned back. Meanwhile back in the real world, most were canceled after spending huge amounts of money but before we could see any benefit
She’s a loser hasbeen with no following. Couldn’t even win a primary. She will lose in 28 (if she can actually make it to the general election, which she can’t)
Yes, she would have been the better choice, but that’s in the past. Why would you want her to run again now when she’s already been rejected by voters? Trump was able to do it because the GOP is a cult. Dems are not.
Many Americans can’t deal with a woman candidate for President much less a minority as well, it’s as simple as that.
Know what you are and stay between the lines. Put a white man upfront if you wanna win.
I’m tired of this argument. It’s a bit baseless. Americans are fine with women in politics. There are many who get elected in both parties. Republicans, the party of sexism, fkn loved Sarah Palin
Americans don’t like genocide. Americans don’t like prosecutors. Americans don’t like phony squares who talk down to them with means-testing and tax credits
never should have run her in the first place
biden should have stayed in, won, and stepped aside
Hilarious take. Biden’s campaign was over the second he stumbled onto that debate stage. They might as well have started writing the autopsy then
Agreed. He should have stepped out of the race long before then. Hubris.
My controversial opinion is that if he’d never run in the first place and made sure Harris played a significant role in his administration, she could have had a shot at winning it with a full campaign. If she were a white male it would have maybe even been easy. The Democrats will never run a truly progressive candidate, and as proven in Kentucky this week the over 60 voting block still matters most.
And yes, if you can’t tell I have absolutely no hope for US politics. But I’ll still at least vote for whoever isn’t the fascist every time.
I think the problem is they tried this. Kamala was frontlined initially by the Biden admin. She was crazy unpopular, a bad public speaker, and really terrible off the cuff on questions. She’s just a very poor politician, or maybe a politico from an era that doesn’t exist anymore.
The most support she had was when Biden dropped, before she talked. If Biden had dropped later and the elation and excitement that was generated by him dropping out was carried into the general, Kamala wins imo.
I keep hearing she needed more time, no. She needed less time, the country had forgotten she sucked when Biden dropped, she had plenty of time to remind them.
