    Where were you guys when I made a post critical of her during her campaign? I got downvoted to hell and got called a Russian spy/bot. Maybe the libs are quietly staying away from this thread and it makes the lefties more prominent.

    Just a few months ago she couldnt think of a single thing she would change from Bidens policies, even though those policies were polling in the 30s. Everything was so swell she couldnt think of any changes needed. Now everything is so broken so she wont stay in politics at all, but might run for president in 2028.

    Thats dem leadership in a nutshell. No interest in the day to day. She learned nothing at all from her abysmal campaign.

    I’m not interested in anyone, unless they’re speaking out against the regime now. She’s not, so she can just step back.

      Not voting for anyone not promising retribution on this regime and its supporters. If that means we lose again so be it - apparently we need to hit rock bottom to fix (rather than band-aid) this problem.

        We know damn well there will not be free and fair elections anymore, so anyone “promising retribution” is committing political suicide. There will be no perfect candidate.

      Well it’s probably a calculated risk to stay quiet. Dems gain nothing by focusing attention on her right now. On the other hand, letting the republicans make asses of themselves and swooping in offering a solution to their mess just before an election would fare better.

    Primary. We don’t need losing candidates coming back to lose again.

    But I’m not holding my breath for the Dems to actually hold a fair primary. Progressives need a new party.

    Please, no. I respect that Harris had an uphill battle in 2024, and that Biden handed her an absolute shit show of a campaign to clean up; and it’s a miracle the election was actually as close as it was… but please, no. Harris ran away after the election and stayed absent for 7 months while the US turned to fucking shit.

    we need fighters., Not fairweather bandwagoneers. Sorry.

      She was a bad candidate to start with and the abbreviated campaign had little to do with it. She couldn’t even handle the few assignments the Biden cabinet gave her, so they had to keep her in the dark.

        That’s just another way Biden fucked her over.

        Remember all the promises to develop leadership in the DNC during the 2020 campaign? The whole one term stuff? (that while Biden never explicitly said personal was the message going out by his campaign staff.)

        Harris was supposed to be the next, and he absolutely didn’t give her the support to do anything.

        Biden got his foot in the door then went out of his way to silence any other possible successor and when it finally became clear to him he fucked every thing up; he fucked off to fuckerville.

        At that point we needed a candidate to start running pretty much that day. Settling on any other candidate would have taken time we did not have.

          No, she fucked herself over.

          Exhibit A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXCN0xYJDuo

          On top of that, how the fuck do you campaign on border security when dems were appalled by the treatment of migrants there? Her whole decision to attract the right by being strong on borders made no sense at all.

    Jfc please don’t. Learn from your mistakes Democrats, you fuckin cowards in hiding. Democrats are tried of the aging group that is not taking to normal citizens. They are so full up their asses that they haven’t realized they have also become the problem. The Democrats are at a 34% approval rate.

    Let the new bloods in and take the lead on this already.

      “We hear you. We see you. Here’s Liz Cheney as our middle of the road candidate. And her VP? Joe Biden”

      Now that I typed this out, there’s a non-zero percent chance it could come to fruition. Sorry

    Bernie and AOC had better get an Independent ticket together if Harris thinks she’s going to get into the race again. Fuck that.

      they will need their own party. Lets calls it the “dont call it genocide, No to BDS, and keep the defensive weapons flowing” party-- or the dcig.ntb.aktdwf, or “zionist-lite” party

      Jasmine Crocket might be an interesting second to AOC, there’s others, too. make the primary ranked choice; get rid of the super delegates, and force states to run an actual primary; with every state ran on the same day. Sorry, Iowa, but you fucked too many primaries to be considered useful.

      CA needs someone that is going to do something drastic against investors owning homes.

      2000% increase in property taxes, but owner-occupants are exempted. Only investors pay the tax.

      And, any year the owner occupancy rate is less than 90%, the investor tax is increased another 20%.
