> Yet prediction markets are saying otherwise. As of April 30, both Kalshi and Polymarket put the former vice president’s odds of being the Democratic nominee at just over 9%.
Obviously this whole article is stupid, but this part is particularly eye-rolling. Pundits should just ignore betting markets nonsense.

I’m fine with her running. It’s her winning the primary that concerns me.
espinaustin on
She can run in the primary (this time), if she wants.

This is the first opportunity in my lifetime for Dems to run someone with a spine and real progressive values and they are 100% gonna blow it and try to ram Kamala or Gavin down our throats. And if/when we have primaries they’re gonna repeat Bernie 2.0 and the DNC will pull whatever levers they can to defeat the popular progressive candidate.

She can run, but I hope there are other Democrats running as well and the people can choose who they want as a nominee.

She has the right to run, we now have the right to choose who we want to be our candidate.

Well if they do then they’re literally tanking the election on purpose

I’d love to see AOC. I feel like she might actually sling the shit back at them. The days of professionalism and civility in politics are seemingly no more in your country.

I don’t think the Democratic party was capable of producing a winning candidate in 2024.
Look at how they handled Tim Walz, and even Kamala herself. Both of them were likeable in their off color moments, but it’s like the entire apparatus got scared anytime anyone was „off script“. What the party needs is raw unfiltered passion, what it produces is stale, poll tested positions. Anyone who made it through a primary would likely have had a similar fate.
That said, Kamala absolutely should not run

Biden was supposed to be a one term president, let’s not forget that part.

Think we need something new but I think it’s very clear Trump only won because of inflation. Thats literally it. Oh and people are fucking stupid.

I think anyone that wants to run should. That’s what primaries are for.
kafka_lite on
I have an idea. We should let everyone run who is eligible and wants to run. Then we should hold some kind of a preliminary vote to decide which candidate we should go with.

Shes awful, she is a windsock, i voted for her over trump and id do it again but there is 0 chance id vote for her in any primary. She has absolutely 0 chance and she is absolutely not what this country needs or wants
tragicallyohio on
It would be an absolutely classic and expected move if the Democratic Party, as a national organization, pushed for her to be the nominee. They are so out of touch as to expect her to have a chance after losing already.

Imagine voting for someone who has been entirely invisible since their last big failure and who has neither admitted their own faults nor said what they’d improve on to not repeat their failure.

Whoever runs, dems should try having actual fair primaries this time. Hillary Clinton with the superdelegates, Biden with the dropping out of a bunch of candidates to get the candidate the leadership wanted, Harris with no primary at all. It makes the democrats look undemocratic. They seem to care more about cementing power of the centrists (to keep out the leftists) than winning elections.
Let the people speak this time and the election should be a slam dunk.

America’s owners have spent decades dragging the US to the right. They’ve done such a good job they ended up dragging the GOP completely off a cliff. The good news for them is they still have the Democratic Party which has been a Neo-liberal organization at best ever since the first Clinton administration. My prediction, MAGA gets decimated in November. The Democratic Party becomes America’s new conservative party, eventually a new labor-centric party springs up and the whole thing starts all over again.

No she shouldnt, it would most likely land her in jail on some fake charge from whatever fascist the land of violence and crime elects next time.
EMAW2008 on
If she is the nominee after an actual primary, she’ll have my vote.

A Primary is how candidates are chosen. Let’s try that this time.

She can run as long as there is a fair primary

Couldn’t agree more. We need a proud FDR-like economic progressive who has specific plans for how to change the country and the ability and discipline to articulate them consistently over and over again. Much like Bernie, Mamdani, or this Platner guy in Maine. Screw the “vibes” candidate, screw the candidate that flip-flops to appeal to “moderates, screw the candidate that just spends all their time talking how awful Trump is, and screw the candidate that focuses on race, gender, etc. The message is that there are “have” and “have-nots” in this country. The “haves” are firmly in control and have fucked this country up through legalized corruption, leaving less and less in terms of rights and quality of life for the “have-nots”.

I think that’s literally everyone’s opinion
