Are they... Still considering Harris for 2028??? What? Please god. Make it stop. Please.
It's.
Her.
Turn.
"It's my turn." was everything wrong with Hillary's campaign in a nut shell.
How the fuck are you able to make yourself look like an unhinged ego-maniac who just wants to be President for the sake of being President, when you're running against Trump? That shouldn't be possible.
This isn't a problem of Trumpism, it's a naturally occurring brainworm in Americans broadly speaking. Trump's a nasty dim-witted freak, so watching him climb to the top of the pile we've been raised to believe was a meritocracy causes all sorts of cognitive dissonance. But everyone running for President (except maybe Mike Gravel) ends up looking like this. The thing that separates the Obamas and Trumps from the Hillarys and McCains is whether cheering for the unhinged ego-maniac feels fun or not.
Oof
She's just the most recent candidate. The most recent candidates, and most recent Presidents and Vice Presidents are almost always in these sorts of lists, especially in the weeks and months following an election, before the next campaign starts.
Joe Biden was a favorite in these sorts of polls in 2015/16, despite saying he wouldn't run, because he was just VP.
I pray to the gods you are correct. Save this comment for 2028

Take your up vote and go think about what you did.
