    Please, no. I respect that Harris had an uphill battle in 2024, and that Biden handed her an absolute shit show of a campaign to clean up; and it’s a miracle the election was actually as close as it was… but please, no. Harris ran away after the election and stayed absent for 7 months while the US turned to fucking shit.

    we need fighters., Not fairweather bandwagoneers. Sorry.

      She was a bad candidate to start with and the abbreviated campaign had little to do with it. She couldn’t even handle the few assignments the Biden cabinet gave her, so they had to keep her in the dark.

        That’s just another way Biden fucked her over.

        Remember all the promises to develop leadership in the DNC during the 2020 campaign? The whole one term stuff? (that while Biden never explicitly said personal was the message going out by his campaign staff.)

        Harris was supposed to be the next, and he absolutely didn’t give her the support to do anything.

        Biden got his foot in the door then went out of his way to silence any other possible successor and when it finally became clear to him he fucked every thing up; he fucked off to fuckerville.

        At that point we needed a candidate to start running pretty much that day. Settling on any other candidate would have taken time we did not have.

          No, she fucked herself over.

          On top of that, how the fuck do you campaign on border security when dems were appalled by the treatment of migrants there? Her whole decision to attract the right by being strong on borders made no sense at all.

            Everyone flubs. How many flubs did people excise from Biden? At least once every speech.

            What does going to visit the border in what is clearly a stupid waste of time, have to do with writing good immigration policy?

            Absolutely fucking nothing. It was a stupid question and one meant to force and error.
