Yeah, it requires actually winning and not listening to corporate consultants who insist standing for anything alienates the mythical moderate vote.

She's an idiot to think her loss to a convict and rapist was anyone's fault but her own. She'll have even less of a chance against any reasonable candidate.

[-] jacksilver@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I don't think she has good odds in a primary, assuming the democrats actually have one this time around.

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Right trump just sat on his ass the whole time and let the votes flood in, not like he used every possible opportunity to flood both social and traditional media with his face and voice. Not like he was buddy buddy with the tech billionaires who control that media.

Do you blame the winning team for winning?

The Dems ran a shity campaign. First by allowing Biden to try to run again at all. Then replaceing him with a shity candidate. She obviously only had a set of memorised, poll tested, talking points; No actual real opinions.

Rump is (and was during the campaign) a convicted felon and rapist. Every time he was mentioned to her, she should have said so.

She also needed to seperate herself from Biden who wasn't popular for a number of reasons. Most notably supporting Israel's genocide. But should wouldn't. "I wouldn't do anything different than Biden."
Moron!

Let's stop calling Republicans 'weird', shan't we?

[-] Steve@communick.news 2 points 1 month ago

What? I don't get it

[-] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Then replaceing him with a shity candidate.

Then replacing him with a shitty candidate without having a primary. FIFY.

its not like kamala has ever performed well in a primary, for that matter neither did biden until obama elevated him and there biden was such an abject failure, i wouldnt want anybody that rode those stumbling coattails

[-] ReverendIrreverence@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

These days a "reasonable candidate" from either of the two, entrenched, status quo supporting political parties in the US is a mythical creature

[-] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 53 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

JFC. She was literally the least popular candidate back in 2020, and one of the 1st to drop out. The only reason she was even on the ticket in 2024, is because they waited too long to admit that Biden wasn't fit to run...and then she lost to Trump because she didn't have the balls to even try and distinguish herself from Biden on any important topics.

Who the fuck is telling her she has a shot, now? I swear to God, the people she's hired to advise her are either all fucking incompetent, or they're running one hell of a scam on her and she's just too stupid to notice.

[-] return2ozma@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

When she dropped out right before the California primary she was polling in 5th place in the polls, in her home state. Yikes.

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

And don’t forget that after she lost she just disappeared.

[-] thlibos 44 points 1 month ago

You lost to somebody as bad as Hitler. The lowest bar possible. What a complete fucking narcissist...

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 41 points 1 month ago

“I’m already experienced at losing”

[-] YoureHotCupCake@lemmy.world 40 points 1 month ago

No she doesn't, she lost to one of the most incompetent men to ever run whose only claim to fame was being born extremely wealthy. She couldn't even promise not to aid in a genocide, you know the bare minimum.

[-] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 34 points 1 month ago

Great so now they are setting up the primaries to also have the "lesser evil" bullshit by having Harris and Newsome battle it out.

The whole fucking system is rigged.

[-] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Harris is trying to set herself up as the lesser. IDK who "they" are

[-] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 14 points 1 month ago

The classist politicians of the neoliberalist establishment that is the Democratic Party, of which Harris is a part of. You think she is doing this alone? You think these actions are not planned and discussed among themselves before being announced publicly in these little PR stunts? Are you naive to politics?

[-] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 month ago

I'm not so naive that I think that this is Harris alone. But I'm also not so paranoid that I believe this to be a coordinated effort from a unified DNC.

Have you ever tried herding cats? Give them meth, and it'll still be easier than getting democrats coordinated

[-] fodor@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

Of course it's not unified. Doesn't need to be unified. All we need is enough rich and powerful people who together some of the time and have some idea how other people are likely to act.

And quite obviously we have that. I think 2016 was the most obvious time. Bernie was definitely the best candidate and he's what the people wanted but he didn't get the ticket. Doesn't mean there was a giant conspiracy, could be a fairly small one.

[-] zbyte64@awful.systems 2 points 1 month ago

And yet they all seem to agree on supporting Israel. That's pretty amazing for methed up cats, or maybe it explains their political positions.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Your campaign was shit and didn't bother to contest the vote. Have a seat.

[-] emerald@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 1 month ago

I know what it requires

History would beg to differ

[-] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 month ago

"I know what it requires, the problem is I didn't go far enough to the right. That's why in 2028 I'm running on unlimited genocide in Palestine and a federal tax cut on corporations" - Kamala Harris probably

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 18 points 1 month ago

...she hinted later in the year that she could make another bid for the White House, telling the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg: “I am not done.”

She's certainly undercooked.

[-] Themosthighstrange@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

No no no , just no
