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 think dem leadership has analyzed what went wrong with Harris’s campaign:

  • She brought Liz Cheney on the stage when she should have brought Dick Cheney.
  • Not enough support for Israel. She blocked all palestinian voices from the convention and shouted the supporters down in her campaign speeches, sure, but was that really the best she could do after taking so much AIPAC money? It came across as a poor value for her investors.
  • She talked about loving her glock but did not bring it onstage and shoot it in the air, and then lick it.
  • She also didnt talk about jesus enough.
  • She didnt reach across the aisle nearly enough. How come we dont welcome more republicans into the big tent, right?
  • Not nearly enough support for cops violating the rights of minorities, or beating up student protestors. We’ve all put up with free speech for long enough, right?
  • She is far too progressive, especially when it comes to immigration.
  • sure she talked a lot about having the strongest most powerful military on the planet, but I thought she could have spoken more forcefully on that.
  • The path to victory is clear. Onward to 2028! Vote blue no matter who!

    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 50 bucks on 100 to 1 odds that harris will not win the next election. So if you take the bet and I win, you owe me 50 cents. If Harris wins I owe you 50 dollars. Who wants a piece of this action?
    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
    Thats how I feel about war crimes and genocide.
    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.
    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 of 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
    Close the door! You’re letting the air out!
    “She’s not the worst choice – Harris 2028”
    It’s true, she wasn’t. And yet … 😑

    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%.

    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.

    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.
    Why? We already know it’s Trump 2028

    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 Bidet 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.

    That’s just another way Biden fucked her over.

    No, she fucked herself over.

    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.

    Kamala Harris. We are going to the border. We’ve been to the border. No I haven’t been to the border

    YouTube

    Everyone flubs. How many flubs did people excise from Biden? At least once every speech.

    What does going to visit the border in what is clearly a stupid waste of time, have to do with writing good immigration policy?

    Absolutely fucking nothing. It was a stupid question and one meant to force and error.

    If Biden was the reason for her loss, she should have broke away from him when she had the chance. That would’ve been a breath of fresh air that clearly would’ve communicated to voters that this was not the same campaign.

    Again I ask why support a strong border policy when that is something party voters do not support? Her trying to appeal to conservative voters was idiotic. There is no excuse for that.

    I just realized I’ve been debating you in two different threads.

    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.

    Can she just fuck off please.
    Isn’t that what she is doing?
    Maybe if she danced more? Less? Fewer?
    Where were you guys when I made a post critical of her? 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
    It was on a different account, buddy
    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.
