    She cant afford another high profile loss right now. She’d never work in the public sector again if she did. Pretty stunning downfall for what was a vice president a few months ago.

    Just a few months ago she couldnt think of a single thing she would change from Bidens policies, even though those policies were polling in the 30s. Everything was so swell, nothing needed fixing.

    I’m not interested in anyone, unless they’re speaking out against the regime now. She’s not, so she can just step back.

      Well it’s probably a calculated risk to stay quiet. Dems gain nothing by focusing attention on her right now. On the other hand, letting the republicans make asses of themselves and swooping in offering a solution to their mess just before an election would fare better.

    Please, no. I respect that Harris had an uphill battle in 2024, and that Biden handed her an absolute shit show of a campaign to clean up; and it’s a miracle the election was actually as close as it was… but please, no. Harris ran away after the election and stayed absent for 7 months while the US turned to fucking shit.

    we need fighters., Not fairweather bandwagoneers. Sorry.

      they will need their own party. Lets calls it the “dont call it genocide, No to BDS, and keep the defensive weapons flowing” party-- or the dcig.ntb.aktdwf, or “zionist-lite” party

      Jasmine Crocket might be an interesting second to AOC, there’s others, too. make the primary ranked choice; get rid of the super delegates, and force states to run an actual primary; with every state ran on the same day. Sorry, Iowa, but you fucked too many primaries to be considered useful.

    Jfc please don’t. Learn from your mistakes Democrats, you fuckin cowards in hiding. Democrats are tried of the aging group that is not taking to normal citizens. They are so full up their asses that they haven’t realized they have also become the problem. The Democrats are at a 34% approval rate.

    Let the new bloods in and take the lead on this already.

      “We hear you. We see you. Here’s Liz Cheney as our middle of the road candidate. And her VP? Joe Biden”

      Now that I typed this out, there’s a non-zero percent chance it could come to fruition. Sorry
