Hard agree
Hard „Who The Fuck Knows Anymore“. If you in 2013 said Trump 2016 you would’ve been laughed out of the room. The only thing for sure about politics anymore is that nothing’s for sure.
Let the primaries play out…
If she wants to run, let her run. If she thinks she can win a primary, let it her see if she can do it.
I’m all for her running and let’s see how the primary shakes out.
>has prompted discussions within the Democratic Party about her possible return as a presidential candidate in 2028.
Jesus fucking Christ
She can run in a primary but she definitely would not be at the top of the list for me.
Tired of people pushing their opinions on this woman. She got dumped with a dying campaign and did better than anyone ever would have anticipated and gave The Republicans a run for their money. Several down ballot candidates benefited from her presence on the ballot.
If she wants to run, she can run. Just like you can, if you have a problem with her platform.
ETA: I have had a lot of comments and DMs from Russian disinformation bots because of this post, so going to get ahead of it here. There is a consistent and coordinated online effort by these posters against Kamala, despite her laying low for the last 6-7 months.
I think it’s interesting that it is this aggressive this early in Trump’s term, but it just shows who he and Vlad see as a formidable threat. Their movement was successful during the 2024 election, so they are rolling it out again. My hope is that people will see through it this time.
I didn’t like her as VP and I was super concerned when she was added to the ticket in 2020. But I have to admit that I softened on her to the point that I was proud that I voted for her in 2024.
I think, in this climate, the rest of her political career has probably been permanently marred by her association with Joe Biden. I can’t really blame anyone for that; it was going to happen to whoever was his VP regardless.
I get that this will be an unpopular take but if she ran again, I’d be proud to vote for her.
It’s unreal the party would even consider this. They completely ignore every single indication we’re just not that into them anymore. The party wants to take credit for putting the first Black woman in office for bragging rights. That’s it. It’ll be a handy fund raising tool, on point with the party’s obsession with symbolism, appearances, and superficial dedication. We need better. We need to put our foot down. But I fear the DNC will do its thing and eliminate other contenders at every turn. It’s a sham. All of it.
Her loss to Trump will be her albatross in any further presidential races. Unfortunately, that’s part of her political legacy.
Notably absent from this article is an endorsement for FUCKING ANYONE ELSE. If you don’t want Harris, then for fuck’s sake, say who you DO want. The time to get their name on people’s tongues is NOW.
Agree step down Harris
If we had a real primary this last time (and Biden had dropped out a year sooner like he should have), she wouldn’t have sniffed the nomination.
It’s not going to be a popular opinion but there are too many racists and sexists in America for any female presidential candidate to be successful.
Do we really have to always settle for „at least it’s better than the other person“ argument maybe it’s time the DNC puts forwards a canadate that people actually want to vote for and not some one who is just „better then the other“
Small reminder AOC and Burnie sanders, while not running for president last month, drew bigger crowds, then VP Harris, during the stop the steal protest.
Hard pass. She couldn’t beat the worst human possible. How can she be relied on to beat a true candidate.
I don’t care what the polls say this far out, if Democrats and/or the DNC put up Harris again, it’s over for the party…
But this is all mostly meaningless right now. Just a distraction from Lord Goldemort’s descent into authoritarianism.
I mean, with how things are going, I can’t even be fully sure that a 2028 election will happen in good faith.
I thought she was a great candidate, but with too many strong headwinds. I personally think she’s smart, tough, articulate, witty, etc. But she had to run in a toxic media environment, a legacy of post COVID inflation, and many more problems.
Who knows what the circumstances will be in the future. She may fit or not fit. A competitive primary season would help to test the waters about her appeal in a future environment.
So, I’m not writing her off, but I’m not automatically endorsing.
I’d rather AOC.
We need a populist, charismatic, progressive and a hostile takeover of the DNC by younger generations. Anything less creates the conditions for more waltzing into fascism
Although I do think she would have been a good president. I do not think she should run again. We are at an impasse, and it is incredibly important to get someone to run that will win. She did not win, she would have done so much better than trump. But at the end of the day, what matters most is who stands the best chance of winning. And I am sorry, given she has loss once already, I do not think we (as in the US) can risk having her run again.
We need people who will win, period.
Let’s just make it to the primaries without declining into a single party authoritarian state or civil war first.
Harris was not a popular candidate even amongst the dems. If Biden had actually stepped down as promised and there was an actual democratic primary, I don’t think she would have even been the selection. Maybe in an alternate reality we truly could have avoided project 2025. 😓
I think people are almost sick of politics and anything to do with past administrations like Clinton, Obama, and Biden. Anyone connected in any kind of meaningful way to any of those past administrations doesn’t have a chance of being elected. People want someone new and exciting and none of the establishment Democrats are either of those things. They better figure it out quick.
Harris and Newsom both: hard pass.
Hell NO. I voted for her, but Dems need a new candidate.
How about we stop appointing people.
There is a good start.
Barely heard from her before the race, and barely heard from her after the race. I’d rather follow a leader that’s more prominent when they aren’t trying to get something from us.
*The I Told You So Tour.*
Just don’t. Stay in CA. Be AG again or go for Governor, lady.
People still think a fair election will be held in 2028 smh.
Let’s let the primary decide
This would be a terrible idea. She doesn’t even seem well-liked by Democratic voters (especially younger ones), let alone the public at large.
That’s on top of the fact that the U.S. population as it is now is not going to elect a woman of color. It’s a sad, but unavoidable truth.
Tim Waltz is great and has more of the qualities that non-MAGA republicans look for than any current republican.
Demand PRIMARIES every time!
Don’t allow anyone a free pass to nomination!
Y’all lost 2 elections to Dump and had a close shave once already.. if he’s still around, he’ll definitely contest a 3rd one and it will be competitive because ppl are dumb and they’ll still vote for him.
She thinks there’ll be a free and fair election in 2028 that she could both win and be duly sworn in?
Bless.
i prefer aoc
Jon Stewart for 2028!
Absolutely not. Couldn’t beat a known sexual predator, convicted felon and wannabe fascist with a billion dollars at her disposal. 90 million eligible voters decided not to vote knowing what was stake. Will not vote for a candidate who supports genocide and has to kiss the ring of corporate and foreign interests.
America isn’t ready for a woman president. Dems should understand this by now. Can’t keep dying on that hill.
Seriously Democrats just don’t learn.
Leave this woman alone…. Y’all fucked her over for this loser and I’m with her…. Let us drown, she did her part.
The misogynists in the US for the near future won’t vote for a female, no matter how qualified.
The left needs to run a set of white masculine males for the next, at least, two Presidential cycles.
Walz, Kelly are the first that come to my mind currently, but who knows who else will pop up.
Newsome has too much baggage in my mind.
Bottom line, IF there is an election in 28 the Democrat WILL be getting my vote. There is just too much at stake
Reddit will never be satisfied with any pick.
americans are too much pussies to embrace a progressive agenda. the stockholm syndrome they have for big business will never allow a progressive agenda to be implemented.
