    She’s an amazing candidate. I’d vote for her. I dunno about the rest of the country tho. They seem to really appreciate white men when it comes time to vote. All other issues be damned.

    A poll looking 3 years ahead is about as accurate as an astrological chart (and just to be clear, those are worthless).

    Is this wise? As an outside observer I had the impression that Harris lost in part because of systematic, subtle and overt racism and sexism. All this applies to AOC, too. Do the Democrats want to lose? Don’t they have some sort of JFK look-alike, people actually want to vote? It’s not as if appearance wasn’t way more important in the US than things like the actual political agenda.

    honest question: I am out of the loop. Why the sudden hate against kamala harris? I come from a country without a two party system, so we criticize everybody all the time.

    As much as I love her, this country has shown time and time again it is unwilling to elect a woman president. It sucks, and I don’t like it, but the Dems need to run a dude.

    If you think in terms of “lanes” AOC is the only left wing potential candidate on there, 21% support is actually not persuasive in her odds to actually be the candidate.

    I feel very good about her chances to run the Bernie playbook and end with a top 3 amount of delegates but in an actual primary the lanes would clear up as people drop out and it is hard to see her consolidating support from like, Gavin Newsome.

    I’d vote for AOC over Kamala, 100%.

    I mean, I still voted for Kamala, but I wasn’t excited about it.

    In the last failed election, when asked what Harris would change of Bidens policies, she answered, “couldnt think of anything she’d have done differently”. Those policies polled extremely low at the time, even amongst her own party. If Harris has a different view now, immediately would be the time to voice how she’s any different, otherwise polling on those issues says she is another losing candidate to a fascist clown trying for an illegal 3rd term. Its long past put up or shut up time, Harris’s work needs to speak for itself or she needs to get the hell out of the way.

    Wheres the effin new policy positions, Kamala. Get off your arse and do the work.

    Welcome to American politics, when the 2028 election begins in 2024 and the 2028 primary began in 2020.

    I’m so tired.
