Only second to Bernie, yes. Bernie would have produced real, substantive change (not overnight, of course) and essentially dismantled the status quo. Neoliberalism has been widely rejected by dems, I'd say. Hence Harris's lost. We needed her to win to stop a second Trump presidency, who is far, far more dangerous and a threat not only to the U.S. but on a global scale. It's become so bad that Japan, China & South Korea have teamed up together to combat the U.S. due to tariffs. And those countries are not on good terms with one another. We are ******. I hope Walz runs in 2028 and the American people rally behind him. 

Japan and China REALLY hate each other, so it should speak volumes that they came together for this

They really said let's put our decades long animosity aside and team up to fight the real enemy here, and that's the US.

 

It's so Game of Thrones coded. Two opposing houses creating an alliance to defeat the white walkers. It would be funny if the white walkers weren't us.

I really do not understand how she can lose to someone as dumb as Trump and then be smug about it afterwards, largely her own fault as well as the DNC's 

 

Nope, Americans are just stupid and brainwashed.  She warned the American public about this possibility, and yet Republicans and undecided voters decided to take a chance anyway on a candidate with a piss poor track record.  I'm glad she's speaking out about it, Dems need to be more vocal about how he flat out sucks at this job and come out looking like the stronger, more logical party.

People trying to use Gaza as a reason why she lost. As if we don't live in a White Supremacist country in love with misogyny. The majority of the population actively buys into and perpetuates those two structures. Please move. She was going to lose regardless if she was pro-Gaza and extremely liberal regarding trans people. Y'all need to stop trying to deflect from what the facts show. 

 

Sucks to say but we should've just had another old white man run. Wouldve had a much much better chance of winning over Trump. **** the democrats though but **** conservatives more.

Two truths exist at once. Americans are stupid plus Harris was a bad candidate and the DNC was so embarrassingly horrible with their decision making that they ruined what would've otherwise been an easy election to win for them. Treating them as beyond reproach is what's going to get Republicans in office again in 2028

 

Politicians are not entitled to votes either. No one is entitled to vote for her. Evidently she didn't earn the vote. Nothing more than that, but being smug after your campaign was so bad that you lost to a rotting orange corpse makes you look like a loser, and she still is in fact the loser of the election

It's her fault and the democrats that Americans are ******* idiots? Give me a break.

I mean, it's objectively insane and veering into malpractice that internal polling for Joe Biden was so bad that he was losing NJ to Trump yet no one allowed for public discourse over him not being the nominee until he crashed out on stage. 

 

You can't emphasize that elections are important but then suggest we remain uncritical of a party who, for all intents and purposes, was seemingly running on the acceptance that loss was inevitable.

Why did she stay silent for the past few months Isn't she supposed to represent Trump's opposition? American politics are weird

She doesn't hold any position in government. 

 

She has been taking a hiatus and rightfully so. 

 

She went through a lot in the last year and should be very strategic with her next move. She's still powerful, but has to be ten steps ahead when going against administration, unfortunately.

Kamala, we hate to say we told YOU so... 

 

Bye rat!

I love how when other VP's have run and lost in the past, no one bats an eye when they run a million times. Kamala had 100 days to run a (pretty good) campaign and now people are counting her out saying she shouldn't run again? Are you crazy? She absolutely should run again. She would be fantastic and she is brilliant, and would fix this very broken country like Obama did. I hate anyone who sat this election out or didn't vote for her.

ddd is the comparison here just... because both are black?  Harris has never framed herself at any point in her career as a kind of Obama-style young challenger to outdated norms. She was proudly a candidate of Wall Street and deregulation. Her 2024 run was a literal anti-thesis to Obama 2008. 

 

Kamala Harris has now had two failed presidential campaigns and lost both times for the same reason despite running vastly different campaign. Voters rejected someone seen as fake and meritless in having no actual beliefs. 

 

The only candidate in our modern era to try *three* presidential campaigns and be eventually rewarded on the idea that they could win some mythical match-up on the idea of electability was Joe Biden, whose presidency was so disastrous it allowed for Trump to reascend to mass popularity.
