Of corse she should run!
So should a bunch of other democrats, some with different ideas. All the party has to do is stay out of the way and the people will choose better than they could.
Oh, you sweet summer child. Gather 'round the fire while I tell you the tale of 2016. The DNC did not stay out of the way.
I love how people act like Bernie wasn't out voted.
He was, but it wasn't without Hillary controlling the DNC to weigh everything against him, including by using the funds that were meant to go to whoever was the elected candidate, during the primary. But don't take my word for that, that's straight from Donna Brazile, who became head of the DNC at the end of the 2016 election cycle: https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/11/02/clinton-brazile-hacks-2016-215774/
I love how people act like the end result of a highly manipulated primary somehow means the manipulation didn't happen.
This is 2024, we've now had three primaries in a row where the Democratic Party employed different tactics to push their favored milquetoast neoliberal to the seat. They cleared the field, smeared the opposition, and refused debates to push Hillary. They flooded the field, continued their smearing, and then collectively backed out to prop up boring old Biden in exchange for cabinet or VP positions, and then this last time around they functionally skipped the primary entirely.
Twice that has resulted in Trump winning. 33% is a failing grade.
Functionally? They were explicit. "Shut up, plebs; we've got this."
Easy enough to make it look that way with the full might of the DNC making sure he doesn't win. Do you really think voters matter to them?
I'm not against her running in the primary. It's somewhat of a foregone conclusion that she'd be running against Vance in the general, though. Let's just say he's not the most ... appreciative of women who step out of the kitchen, and we need full detrumpification before anything makes sense. And that's using SWF language.
