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

Lemmy

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 think AOC is highly electable. Good speaker, good positions, attractive, not old. Vs Kamala bad speaker bad positions moderately attractive, not old and Hilary moderate speaker, bad positions, ugly, old. Vs Newsome good speaker, bad positions, attractive, not old. Vs Republican field bad speaker, bad positions, likely ugly or unattractive, racist(positive for their base) likely not old.
I hate to say it, but 2008, 2016, and 2024 have left me unconvinced that Americans are ready for even a potential woman President. It’s wrong, it’s prejudiced, but there hasn’t been sufficient evidence that American’s will support a woman for president. Republican’s predominantly seem opposed while Democrats are either unconvinced or insufficiently motivated. I think AOC could win her own state primary, but I’m not convinced she would beat Newsome or any male candidate in the conservative state primaries.

I think Pete Buttigieg is more likely to win than any of the women, sadly.

We will have an openly gay president before a woman

Agreed
