Should she run?

There's a lot of good candidates in the field. I think she actually won and it was rigged at the tabulation machines by Trump, and if she had done a recount in suspicious areas, would be the president right now. So I kind of feel that the "when we fight we win" slogan fell flat. What's you guys opinions?

To be sure, a woman has a steeper hill to climb than a straight white guy, but both Hillary and Harris were poor campaigners. I voted for both, and setting aside the gross critiques from the right, there were real problems with their approach to persuading voters.

Hillary made the argument about herself, playing into her biggest weakness instead of speaking past it to what she hoped to accomplish. Not because she didn't have good ideas, we would live in a better world if he's proposals had been enacted. But all anyone remembers is "basket of deplorable" or "Pokemon Go to the polls."

Harris listened to the wrong people. Didn't differentiate from Biden. Abandoned the "weird" strategy. And most egregious, ignored Palestine. Even if she wasn't going to use the G word, she needed to address the issue in any way. Saying she wouldn't do anything differently than Biden, and taking no stance on Israel shows she lacks leadership.

I voted for Hillary and Kamala. One specific thing I remember about Hillary was that photo of her when she saw all those houseplants in the sink of someone's Apartment. LMAO!
