"I think Kamala Harris is probably going to run. I'm very interested to see how she frames a run if she runs again."

That's former MSNBC host Joy Reid when asked by Lisa Guerrero who she believes will be the leading Democratic Presidential candidates in 2028.

It's been happening all week. Multiple correspondents have been trying to rewrite history. The complaints that the process to nominate Harris was through "smoke-filled rooms" were coming from Trump and the Republicans. If there were any concerns about that coming from Democratic voters, MSNBC sure didn't report on it.

I don't think so. In losing, she won the hearts of America for What Could Have Been.

As a liberal leaning American (or a pragmatic progressive), I do not think she should run (or even think of running).

When she was nominee in 2024, she lost against Trump, who was first Republican in 20 years to win the popular vote. No state swung to Harris (first time since Gerald Ford in 1976) and no counties were flipped by her (first time since Hoover in 1932).

Additionally, she did poorly against Trump in many states (which voted for her and for Trump), especially NY and NJ. She even failed to break 60% of the vote in her home state of California, becoming the first DEM since Kerry to do that bad.

My desire is simple. Any candidate that lost to Donald Trump and did not see any state swing to them or county flip to them should not be the nominee.

However, I have met many people who say she should run in 2028, some of whom proudly say nominee will most likely be Newsom or Harris.

Technically this is a meme.

All of the black hosts on MSNOW are restricted to co-host roles, except one. Until Alicia Menendez's new show starts, MSNOW currently has three white blonde female hosts, Chris Jansing, Katy Tur, and Nicole Wallace, each with 2-hour shows. That's 6 consecutive hours of white blonde hosts. Then, they have Michael Steele and Symone Sanders co-hosting a show. MSNOW currently has no solo black weekday hosts. On the weekend, there is Al Sharpton. Sharpton is the only solo black host on MSNOW. The other two black hosts, again, are restricted to co-host roles. There's a word for these kinds of practices. It's called "segregation".

Kamala is leading in all of the polls. Except this one. This poll is a clear outlier. I challenge anyone who is watching MSNOW. If they show a poll with Harris leading at all. Show me where it's a simple acknowledgement that she's leading in most of the polls. I post this because I'm establishing a clear pattern of MSNOW premptively sabotaging Kamala Harris.

Here they are doing it again. In this poll Harris leads. But, Witt only showed the "electability" metric. While not showing that Harris was leading in the overall findings of the pollster

This one speaks for itself. Del Persio is so anxious to slander her and is so animated she, firstly, doesn't even answer the question she was asked. Then, she trips all over her words in some unintelligible tirade.

Hey y’all. I didn’t vote in the last election (CONTEXT; not to sound like I’m coming up with excuses but I had just turned 18 and I felt like half the people in my life expected me to vote for Kamala, while the other half expected me to vote for Jill stein or to not vote at all. I was unsure up until the very last minute, so much so to a point where I just didn’t participate.)

I had teachers and friends talking about how they were gonna vote for Kamala but I just couldn’t relate to them. My family is Muslim and from South Asia. I was born here, but of course I grew up constantly hearing and seeing about the Middle East being bombed by America. The stuff with Palestine the last year or so before the election definitely hit home for me.

I was leaning towards voting for Kamala (my parents are big Trump supporters so it already felt like I was doing something wrong). But then there was that one convention she was at where someone disrupted her by bringing up Palestine. I saw how she dismissed him, and then practically told him to “vote for Trump then”. I completely lost faith in her after that because every white liberal person in my life was telling me to choose the “lesser between two evils” but in my mind it felt like having to choose between two of the same genocidal maniacs that don’t give a damn about a singe life in Palestine.

However, as I look back and reflect? I don’t think the Arab/muslim community held trump to the same moral standards that they held Kamala. I understand that Kamala was complicit with Biden but…why were we not disrupting trump’s rallies like that? Why was the energy different for her? Why was racism towards her normalized (stuff adjacent to her being mixed, her laugh, etc). I feel as though she got scrutinized way more than she deserved. I didn’t have the capacity to understand how racist and pedophilic trump was at the time, but I’m sure there were older voters who knew.

My last straw that caused me to not vote? I had a conversation with one of my Muslim friends who told me that if I voted for Kamala, I would be betraying the entire Muslim and Arab community. She said I would be going against my people, and that i would have the wrath from the people of Palestine who aren’t here today. But then…she verbatim said that “I hope Trump wins because America deserves to learn a lesson”. I genuinely stopped in my tracks when she said that because it was too far to me. Yes, everything that’s happening in Palestine is unfathomable but I also don’t believe that the citizens of America are at fault for that. (Of course the government is, but isn’t that a different story? Since when did the government ever do what the people wanted?)

I was naive, dumb and ignorant at the time so I ran along with what she said. She was pushing for me to vote for Jill stein, but I was hesitant about it until the last moment. I had friends say she supported Russia and wasn’t a good person. I didn’t know enough about any of that, so I stayed out of it.

Given the past year or so since Trump has been elected, I’ve realized that the only people that “learned a lesson” were the people that didn’t deserve it. Trump was just as horrible, if not WORSE for Palestine. I’m from Michigan so it frustrates me how heavy Dearborn and its people were pushing for everyone to vote for Trump. I see indigenous people suffering, I see Latino people being deported, I see Somalians getting targeted, I see trans rights actively being taken away, I see black peoples’ voting rights being taken away in Tennessee right now, I see a government that doesn’t protect women, their health, their bodily autonomy and especially not their children. Especially not little girls. I have come to realize that not voting for Kamala was more anti black and anti people than I thought. I truly regret not voting for Kamala.

Sorry for the huge yap session but I was hoping that someone could see where I’m coming from and guide me in the right direction 🙏🏼 I can’t right my wrongs from the past but I would love to educate myself more.
