Her only merit was that she’s not Trump. It’s a very good merit, but let’s hope for some stronger candidate next time, if there ever will be a next time.
Her only merit was that she’s not Trump
Correct.
It’s a very good merit
Not anywhere near as good as it sounds, given how difficult it is for millions of eligible voters to actually vote.
No matter how evil the alternative is, you have to give people something to vote FOR in order to convince them to risk their livelihood while waiting in line in November weather for sometimes half a dozen or more hours, quite likely with children in tow or while paying for unaffordable childcare.
The DNC won’t hear of it, though. They’re a for-profit corporation that exists to maximize legal (and sometimes illegal) bribes coming their way, regardless of electoral outcomes.
let’s hope for some stronger candidate next time, if there ever will be a next time.
Ultimately americans need to turn over 3/4 of their sitting politicians by 2028 or else the power structure will remain unchanged.
She may not be trump in name or appearance but she’s a cog in the same machine
Both parties have been for a long time.
Better sit at home and be a victim then.
We are all the victims, some of us just happen to know who the oppressor is
Being “not Trump” literally only worked cause of Covid. If that didn’t happen, I can almost guarantee he would have won 2020. As annoying as it is, the people that would vote for a Dem candidate need to be convinced to do so and no amount of calling them lazy or accusing them of being terrible people will change that. Blue no matter who won’t work.
God. Dammit.
No more fucking neolibs. No Newsom, no Kamala, no Hillary, no Shapiro — fuck the lot of them. We must do everything in power to stop any and every neoliberal traitor from being nominated in 2028.

An electoral system always creates a ruling class. If you want to remove it, you need to randomly pick citizens and rotate them every x years. It’s the only option to have a legislative body that is actually representative of the people, be it for the better or the worst.
But…But…Blue no matter who! Do you want Trump to be elected again! It’s your fault Trump won! ((Insert all other interrupting, conversation ending phrases neo-libs use here))
DNC will fail to read the room on 2028. Lesser evil is over, time to earn votes

Mostly himself and things related to himself, but yes, he does.
Mostly himself while regularly harming his supporters, 30+% of whom will continue hanging on his every word
She’s already showing us she isn’t listening to us.
it looks like she cares more about the presidency than representing Americans
Absolutely. Unfortunately this seems to be quite common with those that aim to run.
If Americans were actually represented by our government, things would be vastly different here and around the world.
I’M SPEAKING
I’d love for her to run again and take votes away from Gavin Newsom in the primary so an actual working class candidate can win the nomination.
We can thank elizabeth warren for biden since you bring that up, our great progressive champion that knowingly threw the primary to genocide joe.
If she wants to win, she needs to be out there today pushing back against the regime. Instead, there’s crickets. That’s a “No” vote from me.
Nobody in the DNC are pushing. They are all afraid. When the 2026 election is stolen, they will still do nothing.
And if she runs again and becomes the candidate, she’ll lose again.
Kamala, dear, you’re nearly as milquetoast as Biden. You’re female, black, younger Biden. Nobody wanted Biden.
DNC: Newsom/Harris 2028 take it or leave it

Or they somehow win 2028, normalize all the evil fucked up shit of the Trump admin, then the 2032 republican nominee wants to reintroduce racial segregation and stripping women’s voting rights completely (Newsom and Harris made gay marriage illegal already, because it was deemed “too liberal”).

🤮
I mean, if she manages to win a contested primary, she’ll be a better candidate.
If nothing else, maybe she and Gavin will split the Goober vote and let some fresh blood in
I bet the super delegates push both of them until it’s just those two. Then they will have a battle of the corporate shill old guards.
I hope she does run again, because this time she’ll have to face a contested primary. I can’t wait to laugh my ass off when Kamala garners less than 3% of the primary votes. Hope the dumbass DNC wastes several hundred million on her before that happens too, serves them right to back corpo trash like Harris. Not like they’ll ever learn the right lessons from any of this anyway.

Their paychecks depend on it.
every second you spend berating the democrats, the right grows stronger. pick your battles friendo. I’m sure your contempt feels good but it’s not flipping anyone’s vote for midterms. focus on what’s important, please.
And what is important? The DNC pushing nationally unelectable, unpopular candidates down the throat of the electorate during primaries, so they can lose the general election to the republican candidate like Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Kamala Harris in 2024?
So your choice is between a “corpo trash like Harris” and a fascist pedophile like Trump? You guys are fucked.
If the establishment power structure has its way, yes. We require significant reforms to allow the people to have a voice in this alleged “democracy.”
You had your shot and chose the establishment. Fuck off into the same hole Biden is in.
I think Kamala would be a okay President (as in, “not a fucking idiot” ), however she’s still a corporate pawn, Israeli shill and centre right like most other Dems who’s main selling point is “not Trump”. There are few good options within the whole party who actually support social agendas and not whatever a company’s lobbyists or Zionists are paying them to support.
But more crucially, she’s a woman, and not white and for 50% of the voting population (i.e. the ones who actually get off the couch to go vote), their racism and misogyny is more than enough reason to not vote for her - in fact, they’d relish in not doing so as it supports their fundamental principles of being a cunt.
Alright, lose to AOC in the primary then.
I mean, at this point AOC is the only good option possible out of who is looking at running. If there’s someone with a better chance and track record, I am all ears.
I was originally thinking AOC versus Erica Kirk.
Yeah, I don’t think Harris is the candidate, but who is? I’m skeptical that democratic voters can reach a consensus on a candidate. I’m sure establishment/moderate Democrats can come to a consensus on their candidate, and progressives can come to a consensus on their candidate, but there’s only one party nomination. Will the progressives vote for the candidate the moderates come up with? Will the moderates vote for the candidate the progressives come up with?
Well said.
Also: will the progressives vote for the candidate progressives come up with? Because there is always the chance that when it boils down to an actual individual, they may not pass some purity test(s) that are typically run against politicians.
they may not pass some purity test(s)
Most of those purity tests are in fact rightwing voter-suppression psyops.
“purity test” hey quick question would you still vote for someone who dismisses trans rights
Nope, give us someone better
Somebody we can believe in.
