Kamala Harris says she doesn’t plan to return to ‘broken’ system of US politics - Lemmy

Kamala Harris has said that she currently has no desire to re-enter “the system” of American politics because it is “broken”. On Thursday night the Democratic party’s defeated presidential nominee, who replaced Joe Biden late in the 2024 campaign after he dropped his re-election bid, gave her first interview since losing the election to Donald Trump, talking to Stephen Colbert on The Late Show. After she announced she will not run for the governorship of California just a day earlier, Harris told the TV show that it was about something more “basic” than whether she wanted to run for something else instead – with the subtext being whether she will attempt a White House run again in 2028.

Good point. Let’s do nothing.

Kamala dropping out is a big step.

Agreed, that way the Ds can’t run her again. Because they absolutely would.

It seems Democrats are finally coming to terms with the fact that they need to appeal to people if they want to win their votes.

Or more accurately, make people believe like they care. Because they are still working against Mamdani and other progressives in full force.

Not gonna lie, you had me on the first part. I was going to ask for a source based on exactly what you mentioned in the second. They only want to give the illusion of listening to the working class, so they can maintain the status quo.
