Kamala Harris might run for president again in 2028. Please, no | Arwa Mahdawi - Sopuli

Oh for fuck sakes! C’mon lady! Sacrifice! Let a new face do it! There’s 300 million of us. I’m sure someone else can be better than you know who. Go do something else to help democracy. I’d vote Beyonce.
Who would be your alternative?

I want the democrats to put forward a good slate of candidates, have them discuss issues in a reasonable and informative way, then have us vote on our favorite. There are people whose jobs are to know who would make a good candidate. Most people, myself included, don’t have enough information to say who should run. I do think that most people can name a few who they don’t want to run and I think Kamala and Hilary are both high on most people’s lists.

Someone saying “please don’t run Kamala” shouldn’t mean they need to offer an alternative. That is the job of the democratic party.

I 100% agree, but in the world we live in it feels like there are no decent alternatives. It feels strange to live in a world where no one seems to be able to think of a good potential candidate and we’re all just waiting for one to be shown to us.
I’ll offer one, then. As a Coloradan, I’d vote for Joe Neguse.
Oh cool, I’ll look into him. We need informed voters to start talking about candidates now rather than in 2027.
It would be great if the media could quit trying to push Newsom down our throats, too. He’s not the absolute worst but I don’t want him as president. How about we quit calling him the “front runner” until we’ve seen who else might want the job?
