She cant afford another high profile loss right now. She'd never work in the public sector again if she did. Pretty stunning downfall for what was a vice president a few months ago.

Can we get a fucking primary this time
The DNC will allow a primary but will find ways to fuck around with Iowa voters and Dem Debates. Oh and if there is a clear popular winner they will ignore them because democracy is a joke to the democrats.
It's been going great for them so far, why fuck with the playbook?
Yeah at this point they only have to be slightly better than the Fascist party to have a chance with half the voters.
Good cop bad cop type of democracy. That's what FPTP creates.
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.
Thats how I feel about war crimes and genocide.
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.
Maybe her and Hillary should run together….
That would be a winning combo for sure.
Do you think Ghislaine would run as the first woman president?
She'd be the first jewish president as well.
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.

There is about a 0% chance of Kamala being the next candidate for President on the Democratic side.
Running terrible, unpopular candidates is kind of their whole schtick though. So it might well happen.
While vehemently opposing popular candidates.
There's a 0% chance of her winning, but definitely a non-zero chance of her being the dem's candidate.
Place your bets then.
I'll bet 100 bucks on 100 to 1 odds today that harris will not be the winner of the next election. So if you take the bet and I win, you owe me 1 dollar. If Harris wins I owe you 100 dollars. Who wants a piece of this action?
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
Nah, they're lining up behind Gavin Newsom because it's "his turn". These people are so clueless
Calling it now: Hillary is gonna try again.
Bernie and AOC had better get an Independent ticket together if Harris thinks she's going to get into the race again. Fuck that.
Bernie will be fucking 90. Its not going to happen and would kill him if it did.
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.
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
CA needs someone that is going to do something drastic against investors owning homes.

I don’t see Harris being proactive in any subject because she’s not a natural leader. She’s more suited to law enforcement.
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%.
"She's not the worst choice -- Harris 2028"
It's true, she wasn't. And yet ... 😑
JFC.
Can she just fuck off please.
Isn’t that what she is doing?
With extra steps
Why? We already know it's Trump 2028
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, nothing needed fixing.
Close the door! You're letting the air out!
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.
You have created your account 7 days ago. You were not there during her campaign
