    She’s never shown interest in running for President

    Honestly the best trait of a future president…

    We don’t want someone that wants to be president. We need someone who reluctantly steps up because they have the best shoot.

    Like the Jeff Winger paintball speech.

    She’s the country’s best shot, so regardless of if she wants to be president she needs to run in 2028.

    Strategically it would just be stupid to say shes going to now. Which is why billionaire owned media is desperate for her to say she is. Once she says she’s running, she’s the defacto general candidate.

    The ideal path is a congressional leadership position in January, and then moving to 2028 presidential. And that could very well already be her plan. She just can’t/shouldn’t say it yet.

      I think “openly not wanting to be president” is actually a bad quality for a future president, though I would vote for AOC over Kamala any day, based on their tiny policy differences. Idk how AOC feels about FRAC mining tho

        The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

        To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.

        To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

        ― Douglas Adams

        The exception that proves the rule is people who begrudgingly accept the responsibility out of the greater good.
