    Don’t get it twisted. The DNC will run her again. She’ll lose again.

    The DNC is perhaps more disconnected with voters than ever before.

    I was sad she lost the election only because that means trump won and Walz was out. She is complicit with genocide, Kamala can take a long walk off of a short cliff for all I care.

    She lost because she ran on the status quo, not realizing the status quo sucked for most Americans.

    Now that the old status is not quo and even worse for more people, I lack all enthusiasm for a politician who would try to restore us back to what was already a shitty situation.

    Go home, Kamala.

    she has shown that she is not progressive and more of a “status quo” politician. She’ll get support from DNC and none from voters. Get ready for orange 2028

      the recent articles describing how she and biden literally did nothing to pressure netanyahu to end the genocide proves that she’s worse than status quo; she’s a willing participant to a genocide and defended it during the election.

        genocide is only one issue, she willingly shifted all her policies “to the right” trying to lure republicans, meaning she was not about policies, she was about winning. If you have moral principles you stand by them, Bernie and AOC doing fine having the spine, DNC is hard at work supporting spineless candidates. Joe was OK-ish on many issues but he did walk away from student loan forgiveness and other things he promised. Kamala is a definite step down from Joe. US needs AOC ('cause Bernie is spent)

          Biden tried to implement student loan forgiveness through the education department, but the courts shot it down. Then he piecemeal implemented it in groups where he could. It’s not his fault the legislature didn’t have a strong enough majority to pass it as a law or boost it through their budgetary processes.

          i think people intentionally being starved and bombed to death is a bigger issue that posturing yourself to win an election

      “There is a clamoring for her voice right now,” said a former Harris senior adviser who was granted anonymity to speak candidly. “No one can better prosecute the case while inspiring a call to action than the former vice president.”

      Frankly, I’d be a bit surprised if she doesn’t get heckled off the stage for selling us all down the fucking river.

        Could she have done better? Maybe. But I still think her losing had way more to do with more of the country being sexist and racist at heart than we’d like to believe

          Her losing was due to the fact that she was the rightmost candidate the DNC could find in their ranks. People keep saying that Hillary and Kamala lost because they were women. How about we try running women who are at least slightly left of Regan before we say the problem is just that people are sexist.

          That was a factor, I think.

          But imo, a much bigger factor was the fact that she just didn’t bother to meaningfully differentiate herself from Biden much at all. She started to… and then the DNC brain trust and all the political consultants made her pull it all back, and put a muzzle on Walz, who VERY FUCKING CLEARLY had his head on straight in terms of understanding what normal Americans were struggling with. Instead, they decided to chase the mythical “undecided voter”, and succeeded in alienating a shocking quantity of demographics that they should have had in the fucking bag.

          When you don’t listen to your fucking constituents, they’re not going to vote for you. It’s not that hard of an equation to solve.

            Don’t forget the fabled “swing republicans”. Look man I think it says a lot that the Cheney’s are as fucking appalled at the idea of fascist America as I am but posting up next to them is the worst fucking thing a Dem can do. EVERY leftist and Democrat alike remembers what Dick is and stands for.

            Some of us saw the alternative and did what we had to but goddamn that was a stupid move

      Completely agree. But I also understand why she wouldn’t say a thing. She lost the popular vote to Trump, she was flat out rejected by the American people. If she can make it back to the Senate, good for her, but she unfortunately has no business being on the national stage.

    Most Democrats I want to see doing a lot more. Not her, not Joe, and not Hilary. They can and should disappear from the public eye. They had a direct and significant role in causing all of this.

    They stink of loser and ego and corruption and morass. Go away.
