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.

Really curious how she can feel the system is broken, while doing absotuley nothing to ask for a recall to show how broken it is.

Like. You feel the system is broken and want to leave it? Cool. Maybe you could have publically pushed to show how broken it was when you had the power to do so?

Weren’t you the one running on a campaign to fix that brokeness? Was that just PR? Because it’s seems like Democrats are just speedruning what they do best: standing by and doing nothing as evil proliferates.

I’m glad she’s stepping down. But what a hypocritical way to do it. She should have gone out guns blazing, asking for a recount and pushing it to the Supreme court if necessary. We might have had a chance to avoid all this if she actually acted like the system was broken, instead of complaining about it now that she’s leaving it. Perfect opportunity to go out guns blazing, instead she’s on Colbert.

I swear every Democrat has a collapsible string where a spine should be.

When did she ever claim she intended to fix anything? She openly said she couldn’t think of anything she’d do differently from Biden.

As the candidate who lost the election, she’s literally the only person who had the power to issue a recount.

She failed in that responsibility. Despite the 2016 election interference, and Jan 6th. Trump has never had a fair election, and she chose to ignore that in favor of respect?

Please. Respect is earned. Not given. Especially when the protection of our democracy comes with it.

Any reasonable, spine-having American would have challenged the results immediately rather that talk about how broken shit got because they failed in their ultimate responsibility as an American.

Why would they call for a recount? There was no reason to believe the results were inaccurate. After the election, her own staff admitted it was all a grift, and their internal polling never once showed her polling ahead of Trump.

us vice president kamala harris: Big revelation by Kamala Harris's advisers, say internal polling never showed the VP was ahead of Donald Trump - The Economic Times

Recently some senior advisers to Democratic Presidential candidate Kamala Harris made a pretty huge revelation where it was claimed that the internal polling inside the Democratic Party never ever showed US Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of Donald Trump.

Why would they call for a recount?

Reason 1: Trumps 2016 election interference Reason 2: Jan 6th Reason 3 - 37: Trumps 34 felonies for election interference

There has never been better reason to call for a recount during a US election. Ever. Any thought otherwise is irrational and dangerous to our democracy.

Especially considering Reagan won 16/18 swing states at the height of his popularity. And Trump just won a statistically impossible 18/18 swing states despite Covid ravaging his voter base?

I don’t give a single personal fuck about how Kamala was polling for the election.

I do however, give a massive fuck about her spinelessly ignoring her duty to challenge the outcome of this election. Without that challenge, we now have permantaly compromised presidential elections, and every branch of the government stacked with idiot sycophants unwilling to protect democratic law over Trumpian will.

The very security and trust of our elections are now permanantly shattered because Democrats wanted to protect decorum rather than fucking Democracy.

Do facts burn that smooth brain of yours so hard you can only see the world in blue and red? Grow up.
Democrats really are just the Republicans of ten years ago. So in this case: genocide denying conspiracy theorists.
Guess I’ll go vote MAGA since that’s the better choice? Seriously, you just enjoy being mad.
Sounds like you basically already do vote MAGA. You’re even doing the classic MAGA “lefties just like to complain” nonsense.
