They're drinking the kool aid.

Harris lost because she never should have been nominated. Before she was nominated she was polling at 2% among Democrats. Nobody wanted her. And her campaign offered zero new ideas or new energy or new solutions, basically promising to be Biden 2.0 (just without the trust carried over from Obama's presidency). Obviously that didn't work, and (just like Hillary), 'I'm not Trump' wasn't enough to get her elected.

Her being progressive had NOTHING to do with it.

Skimmed other replies... What I didn't see...

This quote is actually TRUE. What it doesn't capture is that it was an intentional smear campaign. People on the left knew she was a center-right Democrat in a similar vein to Biden. But on the right, no matter who runs on the left, they will ALWAYS paint the Dem opponent as too progressive, and people on the right believe it.

That's the point.... Rather than cowing to that pressure and running people less and less progressive, run an ACTUAL progressive.

It sticks out like a sore thumb. Define "many"

Does that mean "my editor and his owner?"

They will destroy her, she's worse than Bernie because she's not in her 80s, so they will sabotage her in every way possible. It's almost as if their entire scam depends on it keeping people like her out of office. They will at least be sure to keep her out of any leadership role.

I'd love to be wrong, as an Independent I will vote for her over any other person serving in office now. At least she's held an actual job.

The Democratic party is a private institution and won't be swayed by anything as silly as votes.

They'll play nice and keep it on the down low and then pull some Obaman, secret, backroom Super-Tuesday fuckery to steal the momentum and likely nomination from ~~Sanders~~AOC and give it to a center-right, corporatist shill like Buttgiggle or Shamala.

Jefferies will never recover from the AIPAC Shakur nickname. Absolutely wrecked him.

They weren't happy about Bernie and look at the fucking mess they caused.

Personally, I think it is because there was no Democratic Party primary. Biden stole the time that any potential candidate could have used to prove their mettle to voters.

DNC has already shown they aren’t taking that as the lesson learnt. They won’t even release the 2024 autopsy cause they don’t like what it says

I'm pretty sure it was the opposite. I still voted for her cause Trump was worse. But I felt then like I do now. She's a Republican. Her policies are conservative and Republican.

Many = the author. Every time.

its almost like all legacy media is inherently fascist

AOCs as far as the eye can see!

Gotta get the red Dems out.

There is absolutely nothing you can say about a hypothetic 2028 election in 2026.

Speculation on the 2028 presidential race began five minutes after the 2024 polls closed.

The Forever Campaign is much like the Forever War, in so far as it is a suffocating political miasma that strangles any other conversation.

she’ll probably not get jack shit done because of the newly massively gerrymandered congress, intrinsically anti-democratic senate, and actively hostile SCOTUS.

Using the Trump precedence, she can ignore Congress and SCOTUS.

Well her or Bernie. But.. you know, age and all.
