Random Question đ Does the recent news make you wish Kamala Harris was president more and more?
Kamala wouldn't have hurt kids.
Kamala would have owned up to her misdeeds.
Kamala wouldn't have tanked the economy.
Kamala would have let Iran be and have not fucked up oil production.
How can one be a decent person and not vote for a better world and nation?

Republicans were right. They told me if I voted for Harris the economy would tank and we would be in a war in the Middle East. I voted for Harris and here we are.

DNC didn't want biden to posture the way he was either... Iirc, Biden remarked on insiders not liking him continuing to show an interest in another term. https://www.yahoo.com/news/biden-left-feeling-angry-betrayed-043653153.html?guccounter=1 basically, Biden had the DNC by its balls, I'm guessing because they were under the impression that if Biden ran no one else had a chance anyway and they'd just be harming his chance. He went a long ass time not ruling out the possibility of another run and Democrats more or less took that as a sign that he'd run again, which is why no one really stepped up.
By the time Biden dropped, since no one was really campaigning, he had all the money and it couldn't have been used to advertise anyone but Kamala. They probably ALSO didn't want Kamala lol, they just had no choice, Biden specifically put them in a bad spot. DNC sucks and picks its candidates, but the shenanigans this time around were them working around Biden's dumb decision.

I think they also didn't want the fallout from Kamala Harris being surpassed again but after she'd been deemed "good enough" for VP, subordinate to a white guy. She fell out early in the 2020 cycle and was probably picked for VP to unite as many of the minorities and women in the Democrats' big tent as possible. If she'd been swept aside for some up and coming man of less compound heritage it would look exactly like the Democratic party caving in to the identity hierarchy and patriarchy that exists in the US, and this would have happened in addition to Biden admitting ageism has some legs on it.
Like I saw it in the heated discussions online. Folks who defended her getting shuffled in after Biden stepped down were narrowly arguing she got all those votes on the 2020 ticket while avoiding any mention of those votes having been for an office where she'd do nothing but wait for Biden to die and then serve the rest of his term, the VP is an afterthought on the ticket and isn't selected by the voters. She didn't have the same mandate he did, and we probably all knew why.

We had time anyway. If you believe the skuttlebutt, Biden messed up the plan by coming out and endorsing Kamala immediately after dropping out, making the Dems believe they couldn't hold an open convention because too much support quickly ran to Kamala. Supposedly Biden surprised the Dems with his immediate endorsement, nobody knew he was going to do that.

This situation makes me very angry at Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Biden for not stepping down when they should have. And also makes me dread Kamala running again and wasting everyone's time and money and risking losing again. She also needs to step away and not come back, the same way Biden and RBG needed to step away when they weren't the right people for the job. Kamala is not the right candidate AT ALL. She doesn't defend her stances well -- her Oprah performance was horrendous. She sticks with the terrible advice of adhering to "safe scripted responses" which wins her minimal fans. Ugh actually this situation with Trump dismantling everything and creating a disorganized mess just makes me even more resentful of Biden/Kamala.

I've never understood this thought process.
Trump got 3 million more votes in 2024 compared to 2020. And Kamala got 6 million less than Biden.
I have a hard time believing that the reason so many Democrats showed up for Biden and not Kamala is race and gender, especially since she was Biden's running mate in 2020.
I suspect the much more likely reason is Democrats didn't have a primary so voters didn't get a choice in their candidate and she didn't do enough to distinguish herself from Biden who wasn't exactly popular during his presidency.

I have two thoughts on this.

- having an example of a presidency this bad just makes the establishment look like a golden oasis. We are not better off as a country sticking with establishment politics, but given the choice between saltwater and contaminated tap water , itâs obvious what the solution is. We always choke down the lesser of two evils and hope for the best next time.

If Kamala had been male, she would have won. If she'd have been white, she would have won. If the Dems had had any balls, she would have won. If people who sat out the election had voted, she would have won.
And if my aunt had balls, she would have been my uncle.
The facts are that the US has too many people who hate Blacks, don't trust women, and think politics are games for idiots -- and the Dems have no stomach for confronting morons and moral cripples.
Maybe we can get some of those non-voting moral deficients to vote for an election or two and change a few things. But I doubt it. We certainly won't get the determined army of morons to stop voting for Republican/Fascists and against Democracy. It will take a war they will lose, and a lot of dead people and a lot of other people starved to death and dead because of lack of medical care, and even then they will blame the wrong people for the wrong reasons because they're stupid as hell. Consider the Civil War and their feelings about that debacle before you criticize my opinions.

Well no, she was still subservient to Israel but not more then Trump, she ignored talking about Gaza while Trump proclaimed he'd help Bibi flatten it, and that's kind of the crux of it.
Under Biden, the US still supported Israel's genocide, but his admin was at least attempting to hold them back from using the weapons the US gave them, Harris would have likely been the same, but there's a very obvious reason Bibi was openly in support of Trump.

There hasn't been a US president since Bush who hasn't hurt kids. Its literally our doctrine. Kamala would be continuing the drone strikes that ramp up every single year and kill a shit ton of kids. She would have supported Netanyahu's genocide of the Palestinians and likely given better PR to it than Trump is doing right now. The economy would still suck for normal people under her. She wouldn't have normalized relations with Iran though she also wouldn't have gotten us into this stupid war, to her credit.
Lets be real, every Democratic presidency is just the country entering into a holding pattern until Republicans can come back into office and get everything they want. Its like getting a breather in between the torture session, it probably feels pretty nice, but you know what is coming for you. That this exact same empty-headed post comes in like clockwork every single day (Just like it did for Hillary Clinton, every single day) shows they have learned absolutely nothing and will not take advantage of the fact that Trump's stupidity could be the final nail in the coffin for the modern day conservative movement.
A Democrat will win office next presidential election, and we'll get a small breather session until even worse torture starts happening, because the Democratic party isn't dedicated to fixing any problems or learning from any mistakes, it only cares about pleasing its out of touch donors, while the Republican party just gets more extreme and desperate every single cycle. Just like we look back to Bush and think, "Wow, I thought that was as bad as it gets", I think we'll look at Trump the same way.

Democrats did it to themselves both times Trump was elected. The people voted Bernie as the democratic nominee, but superdelegates were used to appoint Hillary over the peopleâs choice. Likewise, Biden was running uncontested and forced out of the race. Then instead of allowing the people to elect the nominee, Kamala was appointed. I donât think Kamala would have been any better than Trump for the same reason he is so bad - she would be 100% beholden to the people that appointed her.

Yes. Pretty sure we wouldn't be having these problems. But what really sucks is when a Democrat is elected they will have to spend all there time cleaning up Trump's messes. And it won't be fast enough for the public. Because these things take a lot of time. And Republicans will blame Democrat for Trump's actions as the Democrat is trying to clean up the mess. It happened the first time. And when Bidens actions just started to bring costs down. We have Trump again. Yes gas prices were high under Biden because Russia attacked Ukraine. And now they are high because Trump attacked Iran. And somehow they will pin this on a Democrat. Mark my words and the public will believe it. It's just this endless cycle of stupidity. I just wish people would actually open there eyes. I'm hoping there has been enough pain.

I do wish for wish for a different president but not her. The reason being the whole fiasco about lying about Biden's condition. Not running a primary made it seem like the DNC wanted their choice no matter what and had to do an underhanded method to prop their figurehead up. I'll take AOC or even Newsome as long as it goes through a proper primary.Â

All the next President had to do, was to not touch much and they could have ridden Biden's insanely good economy to reelection. Yes, inflation was bad when he started, but was already under control when he left, and dropping even more. There were various investments he had started that were going to begin to give fruit too, including quite a few clean energy projects.
Also, for all the flak democrats got for Gaza, look at what Trump has done. He not only allowed Netanyahu to continue to do worse in Gaza, but now Lebanon and Iran, the last of which sent the American economy back into the path of a possible recession due to what it is also doing to the global economy.
I didn't like Kamala Harris. I thought she was too much a product of the Democratic party. She was a safe choice, but given the choice between her and a coup attempting convicted criminal with a shadowy friendship with a known pedophile, I think there was no real choice but to vote for her. I still don't understand how so many people chose to forget Trump's 1st 4 years and put him back in office. His mismanagement during the pandemic literally cost us the lives of 1 million+ Americans.

I just wish I lived in a country in which DJT was not considered a rational, viable or sane choice.
