Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

If she wanted to run, she should be out there fighting facism. I'm not interested in voting for someone who's just letting all this shit happen.

[–] manualoverride@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I’ve only seen her when she wanted to sell her book on speed-running losing an election.

She could be on TV and podcasts, 24/7 presenting the alternative and pointing out all the ways Trump is breaking the law and conning the country.

Oh I'm sure she'll soon be speaking at some big universities (for money) and she'll probably also be at a few DNC events...maybe; possibly; ever.

[–] BeUnique@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago

Why would a centrist do that though?

I mean, Kamala Harris wants Kamala Harris to run

[–] MajinBlayze@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago

If she thinks running again is going to go well, she'd delusional.

So yes, Kamala Harris wants Kamala Harris to run.

[–] bigbangdangler@reddthat.com 51 points 2 months ago (7 children)

The fact that there's even a whiff of Kamala running again is great evidence that we are so fucked and will continue to be so fucked.

[–] KelvarCherry@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 months ago

To be fair, Hillary Clinton floated running again in 2020 and she never even launched that campaign. I don't think there's much intent behind this. I suppose it makes these former candidates feel special, or satiates some craving for attention :P

Who Wants Kamala Harris to Run?

Netanyahu.

He's fine with any person who would be capable of being elected - US Government policy is to kiss Israel's ass regardless of which party is in charge. But a Republican would always be preferable to him.

[–] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml 30 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

Why did she run the first time? Why was she selected as VP after getting zero votes in the primary? Why was she pushed as the only option after Biden finally dropped out? Why is she still being discussed?

The fact that this is happening is showing that real decisions are being made without the voters being involved and whoever is making those decisions will win either way.

Also can someone post the article, it's paywalled.

I want her to run... Far far away from here.

Just stop already.

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 28 points 2 months ago

I want a real progressive to run is the main problem.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

neoliberal, centrist Democrats.

But I guess I spelled Republican again.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

Harris even in discussion is proof that the US has degraded to a one party government.

She knows she wouldn't win. Just wants to fundraise, lose and sell another book.

why not run a milquetoast loser again???

[–] AfricanExpansionist@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

What's wrong? You don't like tax credits and genocide?

[–] Microtonal_Banana@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago

Absolutely not. No more typical status quo corporate liberals.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

They needed someone out there on day 1 after the election to be the face and the presence of the DNC as a clear personality for the next run. Instead it’s likely you will get someone in the last five minutes.

[–] DragonAce@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

This bitch lost the presidency to the worst piece of shit on the face of the planet. Why in the fuck does she think she has any chance trying to run again?
