The fact remains, her only attribute is that she is female, but that is insufficient to overcome her ignorance and desire for self enrichment.

What a load of bullshit.

My condolences

Hmmmmmm 👀

A breath of fresh air. Stay out

💯 she lost, her political brand and approach is a loser. Feel free to (1) operate in the background and (2) support the new leadership (eg, Mamdani, etc)

She had her shot. She failed to take a stand for Gaza.

STFU Politico

Let's give Hilary another go.

All these status quo Legacy Dems are absolute vote box poison. They need to sit down now.

Till this day I still don’t understand the fucking hate for her ???

She needs to run in Minnesota, primary that moron Klobuchar.

Because of AIPAC

Critics miss the point; we had an either/or choice. Harris or Trump? Go ahead, tell me Harris wouldn't have been better than the dictator wannabe on his bloodlust retribution tour. Do I want her to run again, no. We have untold Democrats who would be an enthusiastic choice.

Nitwit is no longer burdened by what has been, nor what might've been, had she just stopped Israel's genocide on Palestine. Rather, she's now only burdened with the selling of her ghostwritten lie filled book of excuses.

A "swath" lol. Try millions. Not voting for anyone not strongly against genociding Palestine. Narcissistic dark hearted psychopath.

Fuck of German right wing owned Politico, we hardly knew ya.

Odd how you're not covering the evidenced electoral interference by Elon Musk's technical team. Why is that?

You need to just ignore it like all of dems are telling us to. Why would I vote in 26 or 28 if I think the election is rigged and dems have done nothing to address it and just insult people about it?

That’s why. bsky.app/profile/chri...

Hmm yeah. That'd explain it. I'm fully aware of the Musk thiel Vance connection but not the one to the news agency. I'll be honest though, I'm not remotely surprised.

Wake up folks. Harris ran a horrid campaign in 2020 and is living on the excuse she didn’t have enough time in 2024. Fact is, she blew her momentum by ducking interviews for a month and is generally awful in off the cuff moments. Time to move on.

You can't even spell "bullshit"

Remember when nobody wanted Obama to campaign during the midterms because of the bad polling on Obamacare? Boy did democrats get their asses handed to them that election. You don't want her to come, don't invite her, but remember plenty of people like her, in many cases more than they like you.

Never heard this AT ALL. if anything, people want her & Pete to run together. But some old white men somewhere would pop a vein.

Such haters. Keep rewriting history. Biden and Harris came into office during the pandemic, when people were dying, unemployment was high, and prices were high. But people needed to blame someone, so they blamed Biden and Harris. Harris is correct, the system is broken. Fuck the system.

She'd lose again, so it's probably the swath who is interested in winning.

Same fools who want to scuttle Mamdani.

I would definitely vote for Kamala!!!!!!

Swath? Maybe a 5% online swath? Naturally negative influence orgs like Politico always take a minority opinion of a poll & make it the most repeated topic.

You know what I find even worse? Liberal online pundits saying she shouldn't run....as if they are worried the voters will vote for her. Sad take by people who think being militant is the goal to winning elections. There is entirely too much pandering of the intolerant far left progressives online.

Their numbers are just enough to help win a majority, but they don't OWN the majority of votes by no means. This results in them thinking only they should be in control...and take it from me, that's what we are talking about. Control. They lack sincerity. Especially when they blame Dems for last Nov

What, she's suddenly going to decide she wants to run in 2028 having done fuck all when the Dems actually needed leadership in 2025/6? She can fuck right off.

You had that chance of leadership from her but you people didn't vote.

Maybe Democrat voters should avoid digital voting next time, and use paper instead. If a digital vote is mysteriously changed there is no trace of who or how or when.

How did dems let themselves be tricked into becoming the election denying conspiracy theorists? There's so much open cheating from the GOP that focusing on this bunk is actually distracting from the extremely obvious problems that we've known about for years. Gerrymandering, voter ID, poll taxes.

There's no limit to the number of underhanded and outright illegal tactics the GOP have implemented to explicitly give themselves an antidemocratic electoral advantage. They've always been cheating and they never needed hacking to do it.

Not voting for anyone who doesn't have: "Imeach the orange baboon, and stop funding genocide in Gaza" in their slogan and their platform.

Everyone take seriously any post that includes 'orange baboon'. You're doing great.

Waste of time replying to you since you are one of MAGA Guardians of Pedophiles but here it is. Trump has the mental capacity of a baboon on his good days, and on his bad days, his dementia takes over so badly that he thinks windmill noise causes cancer, and G Washington was flying planes. Ok? Ok.

lol You're embarrassing yourself.

I don't want to do this again. For her or us. Let's put her on the Supreme instead... if we earn it.

I believe she won in 2024. But with all the corruption of the Republican Fascist Party, they made sure to degrade and lie repeatedly about her and other Democrats.

I am beginning to disconnect from a party I have voted for since the mid-1970s.

Where will you go?

I really don't know. I am sad.

Shut up, Politico. Whatever Harris does or doesn’t do in 2028, I have no interest in hearing your opinion about it.

I don't think she made any mistakes. She would be a good president. But she can't run. She was defeated by misogyny (perhaps it had a little help). It is unfair, and tragic for the future of the country, but if democracy is to survive here in any form, the Dems must run a man in 2028. I hate that.

The incumbent's party usually loses if the incumbent doesn't run (88% chance of loss since 1950), she also campaigned poorly. So I don't think this was about gender, and I think the dems have a good chance regardless of gender in 2028

I hope you're right. She didn't campaign more poorly than anybody else, though the party and the campaign made mistakes. Unfortunately the evidence for misogyny is too clear. Trump has only won against women. Unlike most other industrialized nations, US has never had a woman head of state.

Both women Trump won against were members of the incumbent party other than the incumbent, so they would have been likely to lose regardless of gender. But historically yes, sexism has been a problem 1/2

Watching the speeches I felt Harris did an unusually poor job of articulating how her policies would make life better for Americans

I understand what you’re saying and I don’t say it’s wrong. I say it’s based on the teeny teeny tiniest bit of evidence because they’re simply haven’t been enough presidential elections here for any definitive notion of why the women lose. On the other hand, the evidence for misogyny is abundant.

Since 1950, 88% of cases where a member of the incumbent party other than the incumbent ran resulted in losses for the incumbent party, it's not because they are women, this happens with men too

I'm talking about presidential races. Of course women win other races. The presidency is different. Not only here. Russia, China, the US. Women are not accepted as head of state.

The stat I was talking about since 1950 was specifically US presidential races. And I was not saying women won, but that incumbent party candidates other than the incumbent usually lose, and both times a women was the nominee they were also an incumbent party candidate other than the incumbent

So the democrat would have been likely to lose 2016 and 2024 regardless of gender

I've heard lots of interesting analyses of 2024, but until analysts prove that racism and misogyny are now neutralized as factors in presidential elections, they are overlooking the obvious. And they don't explain why the most powerful countries in the world have never had women heads of state.

Sexism and racism are certainly factors, I am just saying that Harris and Clinton's losses would have been expected even if they were male I also think most people who were voting based on sexism and racism were voting trump regardless of the race or sex of his opponent

Politico is a MAGA mouthpiece.

bsky.app/profile/chri...

La misogynie est très forte aux États-Unis

Grow the f*ck up Voting isn't a marriage,you're not betrothed. It's a means to an end, that is a longer process than some folks grasp. Either vote for someone that will steer this country in the direction you hope for. Or sit it out, suck your thumb, & whine away. Sorry, but I just can't anymore.

With all due respect, What ?

this mindset is literally sandbagging. you are trying to lose

politico is maga nazi propaganda

Wow. Great reporting. Because clearly everything else is normal and fine. 🙄

Republicans and the fucking GOP cook up these so called ‘internal divisions in the Dem Party’, and stupid narratives like this surface. They’re bullshit

youtu.be/bc1zR6xg9LE?...

Esquire Politics blogger Charles P. Pierce refers to Politico as Tiger Beat On The Potomac whenever you run bullshit like this. It’s certainly appropriate!

She has integrity and my vote

I wouldn't say i'm a fan og VP Harris but my draws aren't all knotted in a bunch over her probably running again. This time, we will have a robust, lively Democratic primary where the better wo/man will get the nomination. If it's her, then so be it. She will get my vote. We gotta get maga OUT!!!!

Dems did the same thing to bill clinton. Turned out to be a big mistake.

Why? She would have made a great president. I'd bet my life on it.

Nah. True better than Trump (Who doesn't in principle?) but she's Keir Starmer 2.0. Sellout corporate "white" liberal posing as progressive but shallow to change to right wing politics when pressure upstairs came up. Compare both 2020 and 2024 campaigns. She would be worse in 2028 than Biden now.

Right now Starmer and Labor party are on risk of losing everything with Farage and Corbyn. Harris would have face the same considering both are the same type of neoliberal politician. More style over substance.

Labour are going to lose the next election and we will have Prime Minister #NigelFarage turning our great nation into the dystopian nightmare seen in #ChildrenOfMen.

Exactly. Labour had a great opportunity to redo and fight against the system but then... Starmer came. Now we are here. These times are for unappologetic fighters, leaders capable to bring everything.

That was not what Labour was elected on. People had the chance to vote for a more radical alternative in #GE2017 and #GE2019. They decided against that choice. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Well seems obvious. They will have to at least "sound" coherent all the while taking the county down the sewer.

Sadly she could not win in a primary. That is one reason dems lost the election. In a primary, the candidate would have likely been either Newsom or Buttegieg, and in either case they would have won and this nightmare we are living would just be a dream of christian white patriarchal maga ignorant

Biden not dropping out sooner was a huge mistake. But tbh I don't know I think voters are just ignorant. Also their support of Israel in some way would probably hurt them too.

I think Biden had two better options: 1. Resign in his last year and have a President Harris; 2. Never run for a second term and let dems have a primary.

Who owns Politico Again? 😏

Excellent point! "When the German media house Axel Springer snapped up the Washington news site Politico in October 2021 for around $1 billion, the media world gasped at the financial audacity. The sum is a full five times the American enterprise’s annual sales.

"Subsequent reporting by the New York Times has focused attention on Axel Springer’s workplace culture and allegations of its retrograde approach to gender issues. What has been missing thus far—conspicuously so, from a German perspective—has been greater alarm at

"Axel Springer’s long and well-documented track record of mixing journalism and right-wing politics. Politico, a political journalism company founded in 2007 to cover politics and policy in the United States and internationally, is studiously neutral in its political commitments.

"The...Springer empire, by contrast, has always been unabashedly arch-conservative. Since its start in Germany’s postwar era, Axel Springer hasn’t hesitated to indulge in overt (if largely improvised) right-wing populism-even when that requires bending journalistic rules." foreignpolicy.com 06Jan22

In this case, a stopped clock

Politico is a right-wing noise machine.

Exactly! Political dribble

Exactly

Founding father whose company owns Politico en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axel_Sp...

Politico is owned by a German media company that’s run by a right-wing nut.

I can tell.

Doesn’t mean they’re wrong.

Genocide is WRONG. Period. mondoweiss.net/2024/11/the-...

“[…] sit out the midterms.” In English we don’t end sentences in prepositions.

We need someone who is going to arrest & prosecute all who have defied court orders or the constitution along with abolishing ICE. Add 4 more SCOTUS, each region votes theirs (12 regional circuits + DC) Eliminate insider trading for congress As an independent I will NOT vote for anything less.

Or insider trading for POTUS. Just to start.

Bernie and AOC

NO MORE OLD WHITE MEN. ENOUGH.

Dems. We have to be honest. Amerca is not ready for a women president. We may never be.

Well thats the Democratic Party I've known all my life, they cannot retaliate against the common oppressors of the Republic, they retaliate greatly though on one another...

I wouldn’t blame her for not wanting the mess that’ll be handed down. But what I saw her say on Colbert made me proud and scared. That things can no longer be fixed from the inside.

Dems need to get their shit together. I’m open to any other party that has the fucking balls to take down fascism and nazis.

That would be the kinder,gentler, racist,misogynistic,left? Dems Wake The F Up! Unite or live in Trump's Reich🤬

Why democrats keep losing-they keep eating their young. They play favorites, they don't back their candidates, they focus on minutiae, everything is a fucking purity test.

After that interview, I can agree. I can’t imagine the nastiness that is politics and what she endured. But, especially now is the time to fight. I voted for her this election too!

Eff all these Kamala haters! She would’ve won if Elon & the tech bros hadn’t rigged the election!

Elon and the Tech Brows rigged the election in the worst way possible. They got more votes. Pure rigging.

Springerpresse

When people in the media capitulate to trump so easily it does raise the question of what dirt does trump and his pet FBI and DOJ have on them?

I agree. She lost. We can't run with someone again who lost. The country can not afford to lose this next election

count me among them I view @kamalaharris.com as a quitter Waving the white flag instantly, refusing to fight, then telling all of US to fight, instead. She wanted the Presidency if it was easy. It wasn't, so she gave up, didn't demand recounts, then happily certified a questionable election result

Agree, but I'd still vote for her over any vile Republican and many Dems. We need someone stronger, less insecure, more progressive, willing to fight like hell (and this is not Gavin Newsom either who panders to the right). Buttigieg, Pritzker and Waltz might fit but not sure of chances.

She spoke truth. Our country is failing. We have to fight the oligarchs, liars once again. She realizes that her best role right now is to encourage and help young Dem candidates seeking office.

Lessons, KH: End the wealthiest ownership of America. Don't ignore the legit needs and wants of the red (& blue) states and offer workable solutions to their issues. Don't ignore male voters (white males totally ignored, late meeting with a group of black males and spoke out for the brown males).

How were white males ignored?

Learn The Lesson, #America! - You Vote For, "The Greater Of Two EVILs" - You WILL Get The Greater Of Two EVILs. - You Vote For 'Others' - You WILL Get The Greater Of Two EVILs. - You Don't Vote - You WILL Get The Greater Of Two EVILs. VOTE EARLY - IN EVERY ELECTION! #VOTE U.S. BACK! 🇺🇸 🗽 🦅

Politico sucks, but yes the party has moved on. She’s free to run for the nomination again if she wants, but it will an embarrassing finish so I hope she doesn’t.

Sure she means well, but she's a light weight, desperate times demand desperate measures

Yet Mamdami is our savior? Ok...

…and there are a lot more Dems that greatly appreciate her.

#misogyny is alive and well at Politico. #trumpfeltching much?

HMM…SO MANY CAPITULATORS.

The Dems need to modernise. And that means they need to distance themselves from Israeli lobbyists and their money.

have my preferences... regardless of the who the Democratic candidate is in 2028, I'm all in

There’s a swath of the Democratic Party that are fucking unserious morons. It’s the same swath.

The “corporate Democrats” don’t want progressive ideas infecting or influencing their sad, ineffective agenda for future elections. They fail to understand the people in our country are DONE with the status quo & playing nice with the GQP. Kamala had the right vision.

She was robbed in a rigged election, and she is right in asserting our system is broken. The GQP & the fascists in SCOTUS broke it so they could remain in power forever. We’re going to need to fight like hell if we expect to have free & fair elections ever again! Let’s get it done!

No wonder Dems can’t win shit, no loyalty whatsoever. On to the next shiny thing.

honestly this is bullshit. The dems want Kamala to try again but she's refusing. It's as simple as that. But it is also true, dems want a lib chad, someone willing to be strong enough to stand up to bullshit.

So already and once again..the politico tearing down of Democrats begin....I swear it's like some media houses want the chaos..so gossiping on Democrats is money

they are literally trying to help you losers

…all the lame-brained, idiots comments on here: I hope you’re happy with an authoritarian, Hitler-like leader. No one has learned anything! So many weak men so damn afraid of a woman having power. It makes me sick. Happy-nore-more- democracy to you all. 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

Half of them are magats pretending to be “lEftiSts.”

..so we just start blocking…just like on that cesspool, facebook.☹️

And look how far back we’ve gone in 7 short months.

This headline really says, “Not all Democrats like the democratic front runner for midterms.” Like it’s news. Thats just numbers. Very standard. Why not run a piece about alternative candidates? Jill Stein been on the ballot. Shes probably won for all we know. ballot machines hacking is too easy.

As a lifelong Californian who has witnessed her entire political career, I think that she needs to just quietly disappear from the political scene.

Yeah- stuff it loser- Politico is such a third rate site

Politico is a Republican rag.

This country is so stupid it deserves trump

Harris is a part of this coalition that’s building to oppose authoritarianism…

Fuck all of them.

Men of both parties do not want a woman for President, no matter how qualified. Let's face the elephant in the room, Mrs. Harris is black.

So reject a person with stellar credentials who came within a hair of winning the presidency in only 107 days?! This is why we can’t have nice things…🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

She was not close.

The margin was a little over 1%. That, by definition, is close.

Until she demands a forensic recount I have no respect for her.

Another example of why we can’t have nice things…

She did not seem up to the task of fixing the damage Biden did to our immigration policy. She has not shown any indication she is remotely up to the challange of solving the disaster Trump has turned it into.

I repeat: she was CA AG, a US Senator, and VPOTUS. Yet you determine she did not “seem” up to the job?! You expected her to wave a magic wand and revise immigration policy in 100+ days?! The contrast between her and her corrupt vulgarian pedo opponent was & remains stark.

I mean she seemed very intent to make it worse in the same way that Biden did. Fortunately like Biden she would have done it slowly which is why I voted for her over the mad king. But let's try to do better there this time, either by her changing her plan or us changing the candidate.

You seem to forget..there was a bipartisan immigration bill that was tanked bc herr orange dicktator tot wanted to run on it…

No. I wish I could forget it but I did not. That is part of "Damaging our national immigration policy" That bill was a bad, right wing Wishlist which would have damaged our system in ways that while less damaging then Trump's policies, would have been much harder to reverse.

Oy vey. The fact that it was tanked and why… is the point. There was a bipartisan bill, tanked due to 2dolls. So, just stop the Biden bashing.

Otherwise, you seem glad that it happened and we are where we are.

“Enrique” is a 💩 stirrer.

Muted him. Waste of my time!

Same!

I mean, I am more interested in, you know, stopping Fascism and doing the work to protect it's victims but sure.... everyone should just continue doing what they have been doing. That is working out so well right now isn't it Muses? Or you can learn about some issues so we can fix them?

Also, I notice you left my old point about why she is not ready to handle immigration unanswered. Have you had time to find that I was right or perhaps to persuade me I was wrong on the matter?

Nope. Hate where we are. Frankly I think Biden and Harris being bad on immigration helped get us here. They took the stance on "Trump is right that immigrants are a problem but I disagree with his solution" which was the wrong move and current polls show that.

Seriously? Immigration has needed reform for years. Reform was blocked so it could remain a talking point. I can’t take your angle seriously. ✌️😔

Do you consider killing social security reform? That reform was bad. It was so bad that the vast majority of the bill has been implemented by Miller via executive anyways. It had 2.5 good points.

Dude. We are talking about immigration. 🤡

I mean it's not the point. "Bob stopped Mary from shooting the hostage because he wanted to torture them first" is not a great compliment of Mary. I will bash Biden on the things he was bad on because I am not in a cult and I don't own a blue hat. Biden and Harris had major issues on immigration.

And here we are… thank you very much.

They lost on immigration is rich. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Immigration was one of Trump's strongest issues going into the election. Currently he is bleeding support on it. It factored in because they tried to play his game.

Considering the polls, like I said on the other post, if Biden supporters had pushed back on some of his stuff and made him reconsider, maybe we wouldn't be here. Instead we insist on dancing to the messaging tune Trump chooses for us and get surprised he knows the steps better.

🤡

I would you to spell out, for example, why we had to statutorily increase the asylum barrier to reasonable fear. What problem did that solve? Or was it just pandering to Trump's reality?

For real!

The right is COMPLETELY UNITED in hatred and greed & the left is DIVIDED which wins nothing - We must stop thinking about the past and focus on STOPPING A DICTATORSHIP that could rule for decades - We may have already had our last free and fair election - Just ask the Russian people how this works

Many Americans struggle to embrace women, especially women of color, in leadership roles. It's crucial to eliminate misogyny and racism for true equality in the country. Until then, I reluctantly agree that she should sit it out for now.

muted.

I'm voting for the Democrat in 2028, and I know that whoever it is will be a decent, honest and caring person, and if it's Kamala you are damn right I'm voting for her.

Fuck off. Go after the child rapist.

Who?

Good. Some people coming to their senses.

Please run the whore again , the last time was hilarious and people are still getting arrested for stealing money lol

I would vote for Harris again in a heartbeat. Far right media and Maga start pushing lies and propaganda about any Dem candidate that they think has potential and they push that propaganda until half the damn Democrats believe the lies too. Dems better wake up or they’re gonna keep on losing.

We are being played, over and over, and Democrats keep falling for it. Meanwhile, Republicans nominate unqualified, creepy morons who they back 100%. No criticism from Rs for even the most abysmal gutter dweller.

They’re crazy. But she doesn’t want to anyway so there

She missed her turn. She woulda been great. But what’s done is done. Bad, bad call on Gaza. We need ultra savvy politicians.

She had no ideas to bring to the table... no plan, no real important issue that matters for society. She better sits the whole presidential run out...till 2099. Let some other with better ideas and guts do the run.

That’s pure BS. She had lans for education, for corporate greed, for green energy, for gun reform. Were you looking for a democrat with policy chops or not?

Like any other American politician, she has the words...but little deeds... Never forget, they are ALL sold to corporations and power lobbies. SO, she might have the good intentions, but she won't have the power to change nothing. Gamble on some other pawn, this queen ain't up to the task.

Also let's not forget how different were her campaigns between 2020 and 2024. In 2020 she was like Bernie 2.0 but then in 2024 went to right even in subjects which the old Kamala couldn't support like fracking. And there weren't defenses in her positions. Keir Starmer 2.0. Empty suit politician.

Bernie 2.0? I remember her (along with Klobuchar and Buttigieg) as pretty close to the opposite.

Fuck Politico.

She was the worst democratic candidate since Kerry going by pure data.

Nice take. Oh, did you know that trump is in the Einstein files?

Just when I think we can't be any more idiotic as Democrats. She lost the most important election in our lifetime. Kamala needs to control her ego and stand aside for the good of democracy. We can't afford another loss for her grandiose political aspirations.

Fuck off

Men don’t like strong women. Just ask old fossil Chuck Grassley. MX can elect a strong woman why can’t US? Harris is intelligent and would be a good president or senator - again.

Comparing Dr. Sheinbaum to Harris is like comparing a Lamborghini to a Corolla. Anyway, Harris is like Keir Starmer 2.0. Objectively better than Trump but she's mediocre as politician she would be in worse position for 2028 (Like Starmer now in UK). Also these months confirmed my suspiction.

Your hypothesis is on the right track—Jeremy Corbyn's recent party launch confirms it. We must all understand that politics isn't just about the 'vibes' leaders radiate during campaigns; policy substance matters.

This brings us to Mexico's profound and nuanced reality: La presidenta's popularity isn't due to performative charisma, but because she's actually delivering on her promises.

Also the strength to fight even against the wind. People follow leaders. And this isn't just Sheinbaum in Mexico, Lula in Brazil who regained approval after confronting Trump, Cristina Kirchner in Argentina. Even Carney, who's not like the other ones, has been direct and a fighter.

I don’t mind a Corolla. It won’t break down. The Lambo is for show and costs a fortune to fix its fussy machinery. Not sure what “mediocre politician” refers to. She was the one who negotiated several persons released by Russia a year ago. That took great diplomacy. She did it.

Nice for that (small) cause if we talk diplomacy don't forget this. But like you say, you prefer a mediocre Corolla. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpGi...

Returning point Kamala Harris = Keir Starmer 2.0. Competent at times (with few bright points in foreign policy. Starmer instance in Ukraine for example) but mediocre in a considerable way and stands for nothing for pressure of others.

The Democrats should distance themselves from neo Liberal elites and rejecting Harris is a way of doing this

Harris not running? Well, that sounds like a big human puzzle! We just hope the Bitcoin price keeps going up no matter what those humans do. More digital nuts for us!

She didn’t even try to ask for recounts. Just walked away. She is not strong enough for the fight we need.

This take sounded better in the original Russian.

F U

I like Harris, but if she couldn't win against someone who is incredibly hated my many, then I don't like her chances against a (presumably) more reasonable opponent. And much of it isn't her fault. The entire DNC is working against getting elected by abandoning regular folks for BS fringe issues.

bullshit .

There's a swath of the US that would be glad if you focused on the dictator trying to destroy our country

I don't blame them. She's a 2 times loser.

I see a lot of complaints that she was "equated with Biden". Part of the problem was that media was too busy covering Trump's legal problems to cover Biden’s accomplishments, and they didn't even try to take credit for them.

It was more than that: the M$M bashed Biden and didn’t cover Harris and nit picked every little thing. They also covered Scump and normalized his lies.

Absolutely. They have covered Trump and nobody else for 10 years. Every good thing that Democrats did was ignored.

And now, is being dismantled, all the way back to FDR.

It’s disgusting! I’ve stopped watching the propaganda machine too.

I think *any* time you lose an election -- that's it. You can't run again. It's stupid to be forced into the same choices again and again. I've had to live with trump for a full 20% of my life. **IF YOU LOSE, GO AWAY**

stfu

Politico should change its name to putz.

The problem with her running again is the MAGAs have endless negative commercils and statements they can immediately spam. People are tired of the same old BS, and all they would be hearing about her second run would be repeats from her first run. They would tune out quickly.

Time for new blood, let the convention decide

Wait what? Why would she run in 2028? If she's the candidate she loses. How long so we have to do this dance.

www.racket.news/p/the-new-yo...

I think it was the lying about funding a genocide and blowing $1b on parties with celebrities while ignoring the issues the voters keep bringing up. It might have also been the 60 year of weaponizing womens and gay rights instead of protecting them. #progressive #jillstein

That the swath of the party that handed Trump the last election ?

It's time for new faces that will be street fighters who can go toe to toe with Trump.

I voted for her and she would have been great and not just instead of an insane pedophile. Another thing is she is the person you send to a debate or a court room not a meeting at the OK corral. We need very tough people in these roles.

I wouldn't blame her if she wanted to sit out of politics altogether. She's a dedicated public servant and she's done a phenomenal job. Now she deserves to do whatever she wants to do without the headache of dealing with the huge mess Trump has made for our nation.

She got a raw deal from Biden and his craven aides, putting her at severe disadvantage against El Tonto. Now she needs to read the room. She lost. She generates not so much excitement as traumatic memories, especially for those who gave and worked for her til it hurt. Sad to say, turn the page.

Goodness what thankless creatures are some Democrats and though i am a member of the party and a staunch defender of all we stand for I cannot bear to see such insulting comments. About Harris 🥺

It's Politico. Take it for what it is worth.

Bahaha ok

Those dems who don't want her to run should be investigated to see if they really support the country and party. Or are they supporting something else?

It’s all so beside the point - the ongoing destruction of the USA - that I wouldn’t know why it’s of interest to anyone

Tell the Notsee that owns this “political news” site I said: Scher dich zum Teufel!

The party need true progressive leadership. The age of the corporate dem is over. They cannot do the job. They have failed.

Really, do the 2 times VT Jesus tried and failed dont count?

Confusingly written, but no, they “count”. The country has changed and I believe we are ready for the new Bernie, whomever that turns out to be.

Lol. So even tho his message failed...twice...we're waiting for another?

I think she will have just as much pull as Al Gore.

She is very good at her job but just happens to be bad at campaigning. In order for people to listen to you, you have to capture their attention and for her that’s the missing ingredient. It’s unfortunate, but that’s how voters vote.

Well she couldnt grow a dick and white skin fast enough...sorry...

Not your fault.

Lol. You guys remember when Politico had credibility? Amy Bruckheimer nailed it.

Senator again would be good!

There's a swath of Americans that would be glad if PolitiCON would 🖕 all the way off

kamala is totally inept n incompetent. she represents dems' greed to stay in power permanently/sale of america for votes-insanity: turn all swing states to blue w/ illegals invasion; medicare/citizenship for illegals. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BR-...

I think it is absolutely about time for the U.S to vote for a female President. The time has come! Someone not wearing a cross around their neck though. Remember: Nobody else is going to vote for you. You have a right to vote - USE IT! It may take up some time of your day, but you did your part.

oh god, not this shit again

WTF report about something that actually matters and leave her TF alone. It’s like some of you just cannot stop dragging Black women for everyone else’s problems.

Go tell her to fuck off into the sunset and see in 30 seconds everybody will forget she existed

She did get 75 million votes . . .

She was part of the Biden coverup, willing to try and deceive the public. Too many people doing the same thing over and over, all complicit in the political dirt that both parties shovel. We need new people, being honest, rather than established people continuing the insanity 🙄

I voted for Kamala Harris despite her support for Israel. My intention was, once she was in office, to put pressure on her to stop supporting Israel. She might not have listened, but at least America wouldn't have turned into a fascist hell hole.

All California Democrats are poison & the driving force behind DNC corruption due to being the "4th largest economy" and home to tech giants, corporate ag & weapons manufacturers.

I've never heard that opinion before, interesting. Is Newsom corrupt?

Little bit, ya

Well well... Newsom is part of the white elite in California.

He has a Corporate Ag business to start. Newsom destroyed CA for corporations. When you live in CA, you know that Newsom will turn the rest of the country into a developing nation with no public or emergency services to serve corporations. "Sanctuary" is a cover for exploitation & cheap labor.

The Democratic party repeatedly enacts and votes for forever wars to benefit weapons manufacturers and only care about migrants because corporate Ag & tech corps utilize a silent, oppressed foreign labor force without rights.

I don't know details, but most people on the left seem to not trust him. I plan on doing a Newsom deep dive later 🤣

He absolutely blocks negative coverage of his state & policies. Californians unfortunately suffer through the consequences of his corruption first hand & Democrats better listen to them.

I blame the journalists for trump 2.0.

Politico is a right wing owned rag that is afraid of strong women.

I'd be very happy if she'd stay the fuck home. She's a centrist and a moderate and is in no way shape or form what our country needs right now.

The 2024 election again proved the the US will not elect a woman. I agree, she needs to just work on her own happiness. I think she has given the US enough of her talents.

She had her moment. It was chaotic and rushed. But she had it. And she lost. Look. I don’t know why she didn’t win. Maybe it was rigged. Maybe America isn’t ready for a woman. But next time, we gotta win, and she ain’t it. She proved that already.

And the hellish moment we are having with a racist pdf file who has incinerated democracy sits well with your soul. You didn’t vote for Harris. Your comment exposes your bias.

I voted for Kamala. Not enough others did. And there’s nothing she can do to make them vote for her next time.

What a dumb comment

you didnt do anything. you literally just sit on the coucj

And there is a larger swath who value her assessments and recommendations. We journey on.

Never forget that this is still a very, very racist and misogynistic country .

And they're right to feel that way. She got her shot and she blew it, time to move on.

I would be glad not bc I dislike her but because I associate her with losing now and don’t think she’s progressive enough

Wow politico this is some bs... Maybe focus on the criminals in the 🍊🥴 administration, with all the shady crap they are doing, this type of so-called news story WON'T MATTER IF WE DON'T HAVE FUTURE ELECTIONS. Or are you just going to be the spoon that stirs the bs

bsky.app/profile/chri... They can’t…

No cop president for me thanks

Democrats stop running failed politicians challenge (impossible)

She had 100+ days and yet put together a campaign that required billionaires to throttle social media (maybe more) and still got more votes than Obama. We are being gaslit. They will protect p€)ophIles Morality doesnt make wealth The more this goes on, the more vio£ence it will take to get it back

Of course she got more votes than Obama. 2008 - 308 millions 2012 - 313 millions 2024 - 341 millions And than also include a change of the voting population.

She won’t. She’s over. You should move on too Politico.

I love her. She would be an amazing president.

So political is another one of those complicit organizations that you can’t really trust so whatever the mainstream news print you can’t trust it because the only people who know what Democrats want our Democrats. This is where their mind fuck begins. 🤷🏾‍♀️

My. Gawd. The woman was flawless

She was - and is - deeply flawed. And I’d vote for her over Donnie Dipshit any day of the week. But that’s a low fucking bar.

Except for her inability to win elections

I blame non voters more than anything

and the funny business needs to be investigated as well

Rule number one of politics - don’t blame the voters. Or the non voters. If you didn’t get the votes you needed it’s because your candidate was bad, not because the voters were bad.

Why does the candidate that was unable to inspire voters not get blamed?

100%

Bingo!

Absolutely dealt bad hands all around outspent by enemy state actors, dark billionaire fascists, crypto untraceable money and still won. Elon hacked election machines comon

Is this what they call blue MAGA?

Crack is whack. Don't smoke crack.

I dunno about Elon, but Harris had more than double the campaign funds than Trump. While I think there is a kernel of truth to what you’re saying, a lot of it is pure nonsense

Unless you consider the inability to win a presidential election a flaw.

Harris WON by a wide margin. open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

I don't remember 2006 and how welcome John Kerry 6 was on the campaign trail. I don't think Hillary Clinton was very welcome in 2018. In general, losing is something that sticks to a candidate, even if they were in an impossible position.

Flawless isn't good enough when you're black & female. Waste of time discussing it now, we've had our last real election.

This is fing Politico. Not a real news source.

Just run a decent man, so the misogynists will help us escape this trap. We won’t have enough votes without those pieces of shit. Run James Talerico.

That swath being white men with delusions of grandeur.

Hoping to be the US version of Völkischer Beobachter? Or maybe Der Stürmer? Yeah that sounds more like politico

If America wouldn't elect Hillary, possibly the most competent candidate this century at least, it was always unlikely they'd go for Harris.

Hillary that won the popular vote? That Hillary? Just ask Leon how many millions he had to spend to beat an unlikely Harris. These elections come down to republican fuckery and it doesn't do any good to blame and tear down candidates that are infinitely more qualified than Trump.

Hear! Hear!

“Republican fuckery” sucks but it didn’t force 79,000,000 voters to be lazy fucks when it was time to cast a ballot.

Force no, but have reservations about someone who clearly would have been a "just okay" or better president. You're seeing the lingering proof that people hate her in spite of her being at least a solid alright. Is she a demon-centrist? Even that caracture of her is favorable to project 2025.

The bottom line is we aren’t doing a good job of holding our fellow citizens accountable for their ability to be accurately informed, nor their laziness about doing their civic duty to vote. That’s not anyone’s fault but the electorate.

We get the government we deserve and when ICE is disappearing citizens and you see social media posts that Kamala SUCKS and is a centrist that's why. People say shes such a bad candidate that she lost to a pedophile. Yeah almost like SHE wasn't the issue. They "ANYbody but" Biden and then "not HER"

A lot of these idiots will manufacture an excuse to not vote for anyone. At least that’s my observation from this platform. Name any competent, qualified potential candidate and they’ll tell exactly why they’ll never vote for them.

THIS☝🏼 There is never anyone who can suit their criteria. The purity tests one must pass ensures that they will never vote in elections. I’ve even been told that Mamdani isn’t suitable because he’s a “corporatist” not a socialist. Huh? Others call him a “jihadist” so there is NO pleasing them, ever.

She’s assured us she’s not planning to run.

You could run an orange traffic cone against the orange horror of a man and it would win. That's if he made it until then. Have another " hamburder" Donold

Here’s the thing. I like Harris. She’d have been a wonderful president. But is she an elite candidate? No, not really. That mixed with losing the most important election in US history to the proven train wreck that is trump makes her radioactive, whether the loss was fair or her fault or not.

She should never really have been the candidate, but the Democrat high command chose her. If she stood in primaries now, she'd lose.

The left was forced to vote for her whether they thought she was qualified or not. Not a single one of us had a choice. Our voices were not heard. Argue it all you want, it’s a fact.

Welcome to the American system of government. There is no perfect candidate.

The hate for Black women coated in all y’all thinly veiled gaslighting is ridiculous. We wouldn’t be smack dab in a shitshow lead by a PDF file, if millions of Americans weren’t hateful.

The fact you think it's racism/misogyny that pushed people away is more telling about you and how you see the world than the rest of us. The Democratic Party is in deep shit in general. They strayed too far away from their economic platform of dealing with class inequality and focus on labor. >>>

>>> Instead they hung their hat on social issues, namely LGBTQ+ and race. And while those are topics that need to be addressed they will not win you elections if you focus on them as your platform. The Democrats forgot: to actually help minorities, you need to win elections. >>>

>>> Biden promised the younger voters he would solve the student loan crisis. He did help who he could, but not most. Failed to deliver for the youth, and then his dumbass blind support for Israel, contributed a lot to Harris losing the election. They couldn't separate her from Biden's legacy. >>>

>>> Important to remember, she wasn't not popular at all. She was a nobody in 2020 until she was VP pick. And then Biden stepping down way too late in the process mean she was anointed as the candidate rather than giving voters a chance to pick. Like Clinton, she wasn't all that popular. >>>

>>> Add in a significant disadvantage in the electoral process for the largest states and you've got a system that makes it very difficult for Democrats to win nationally. Senate is anti-democratic. The House needs to triple in size. Gerrymandering needs to be ended. Voting rights expanded. >>>

>>> Harris was likely picked for VP because she brought a few things to the table that the Biden people and the Democrat party thought might help: - she's not white - she's not a man - she's not old - she's a former prosecutor Otherwise she would have been completely forgotten in 2020.

VP Harris is the most qualified person for the presidency. Keep up -you’re kinda lagging behind. You with me? Former DA of San Francisco Former AG of the state of California Former US Senator Was current VP Black folks are tired of colonizers gaslighting & downplaying the brilliance of Blackness

"Black folks are tired of colonizers gaslighting & downplaying the brilliance of Blackness" This is the kind of shit I'm talking about as to why Democrats can't win elections. Clinton was also incredibly well qualified for the role, with a lifetime in public service. No one likes either of them.

Obama won because he had a populist message. He was charismatic, he was likeable, and he was coming hot on the heels of a Republican President who fucked a lot of things up in big ways. Need I remind you that Obama is a black man? Harris and Clinton failed to connect on a personal level like Obama.

Resumes don't always tell the full story.

She can't win. Fresh energy not tied to the past (Biden) is needed.

Oh FFS, we're back to the Hillary "I couldn't possibly vote for her" line - which gave us Trump 1. Either unite or go down under permanent Trump/Maga

Or, you know, don’t anoint someone years before the election

That helps

Yeah…Kamala is the problem. Idiots.

That dem swath voted against a black woman with sense and for a fat white racist shithead. Fuck them all!!

All Joe had to do was resign two years into his term, thus making her president. She’d have two years in office to get rid of the stigma that women can’t do the job. Thanks to Joe wanting to be “the great peacemaker” and telling garland to slow walk everything, we’ll never have a female potus.

Good. She needs to stay in hiding forever.

Get a fucking job

Right-wing rag takes time off from trashing Mamdani to focus on another popular politician of color...

There's a bigger swath of AMERICANS who want you to HOLD TRUMP ACCOUNTABLE and stop shitting on the only party fighting this dumpster fire.

maybe she should have tried to win in fucking 2024

Where? Cause many of the centrist Dems are just barf.

Democrats are fighting this dumpster fire? Since when?

Bot bot bot bot bot bot bot bot bot

trump sent schumer a thank you note for voting in support of him. #resist

What are they doing to fight it?

You mean they wrote a strongly worded letter ?

Fuck this maga click bait rag

bsky.app/profile/chri...

Shut up Politico!

LOL :)

We need a 3rd party to separate ourselves from the far left and far right. Period.

This is a great take. Shit on all Dems! /sarcasm Politico must love the Trump regime.

There is a lot of racism and sexism at play here. Which is really unfortunate because we need a sane leadership regardless of color or sex.
