‘I am not done’: Kamala Harris says she may run for president again

a year ago by cm0002 to c/usa

In a BBC interview, former vice-president says she isn’t done with politics and could ‘possibly’ be the next president

Kamala Harris says she is not done with politics and strongly suggested that she is considering another bid for president in a new interview.

In an interview scheduled to air on the BBC on Sunday morning, Harris says that she would “possibly” be the next president, making the clearest suggestion to date that she will make another run for the White House in 2028 despite lagging far behind in the polls.

Harris insisted that she had not yet made a decision, but that she was confident that there will eventually be a woman in the White House and her political career is not over.

Oh no... She's the reason we are stuck with Old Orange Julius Caesar right now.

Anyone who's in denial of this should look up her 2020 presidential campaign. It wasn't the 107 days she had to campaign in 2024. You can't just answer every question by saying you're from a middle class family.

Yup, I remember that! I got a lot of crap for getting angry with Biden and the media before the 2024 election, since he was the candidate that was NotTrump™, but now I see more and more people realizing what happened. Better late than never, I guess.

Hopefully the Democrats will learn from this.

And why do you think that is?

Kamala Harris, or any other candidate, isn't just owed votes. She failed to convince those people she was a good choice. That's on her, whether or not you want to admit it.

I recall Hillary Clinton saying the same "I'd do it again" nonsense before the 2020 Election. She never even ran for the primary. I'm not too worried Kamala would actually try. I think this is just Harris defending her ego.

You fucked things up big time with your incompetent campaign Kamala. You don't have a clue how to run against Traitorapist Trump and you totally lied when you said you would "prosecute the case against him". Stay the hell away now.

And speaking of which:

But a new book by Pulitzer Prize-nominated reporter Aaron Glantz challenges that storyline, arguing that Harris not only allowed Steve Mnuchin’s OneWest bank to get away with foreclosing on tens of thousands of state homeowners, but then tried to bury the evidence.

If that name sounds familiar, Mnuchin later became Trump's treasury, from 2017-2021.

She did drop the ball, but I'm also fairly certain she actually won but Elon did some backdoor fuckery to rig the election. She should've won by a huge enough margin that they couldn't rig it. She also needs to disappear now and let someone with some fire run. I would be supportive of AOC running, but we all have seen that this country isn't ready for a woman leader unfortunately.

Someone killed a white family... In the year 1983... Multiple witnesses saw the crime that night. They all agreed: the killer was white.

The police had a different idea in mind. They found a black man to malign. They framed and sentenced him to death. His appeal? Rejected by Harris

Ranked choice voting and for progressives to start a leftist party.

https://en.wikipedia.org/...

I count 24 active leftist parties.

Several states have ranked choice voting at the state and federal elections level, but forcing the rest of the states to adopt it would likely require a constitutional amendment.

This is currently the best effort towards fixing the electoral college mess: https://en.wikipedia.org/...

But none of this works if we never have another election.

So, 24 leftist parties and 50 state ranked choice is never going to happen. Now what? Should we make a 25th party?

Spoken like she's not a fucking hired cog. We're in this shit because of her party, her, and old genociden Biden. I would hope Trump would go after her like he's been going after all of his enemies, but I think he probably won't because they are all playing the same fucking game.

She supported bombing innocent people. She let people rot in prison, for things that she laghed off. She openly lied to everyone when lives were on the line. She supported Genocide.

...unless they tick every box right...

Love how you mention the two things a specifically talk shit about. But do go on and tell me more about myself.

And make no mistake, there will be no stepping aside for you. Your lazy protest non voting ass will be right next to me, if not preceded by.

Big lol on that pathetic attempt at a "I know what you are but what am I?"elementary school comeback. That actually gave me a genuine chuckle.

She had her chance, and she chose to sellout to the old guard of the DNC and monied interests. Publishing her book where she confirms that she capitulated doesn't make her seem any more interesting, it makes it clear that she's another bullshit liberal politician who doesn't really believe in anything, but is willing to say whatever businesses tell her will get her elected.
