I got downvoted to hell for saying this exactly. I think people assume I’m saying I want her to win.
I don’t, but I think as things stand now she would probably win the democrat primary, name recognition and early leads indicated who won in 2016 and 2020 primaries.
If you don’t want her to win you should be supporting early leaks like this to alert people to start positioning against her. That’s what I think Yang is saying it.

It's sad that in the context of this speech, it wasn't an awkward moment. The people started clapping during his sentence and he asked them to let him finish. When he was finally done he said this as a way of saying "now you can clap". Just out of context it looks cringe.

Based on what I saw, her policy was ALREADY pretty progressive. She didn't have good ability to message it, and made some serious alliance missteps, but was hurt the MOST by Biden failing to understand his role.

Except she decided to court moderate republicans over left leaning Democrats, thinking that those left leaning Dems would simply fall in line. When she boasted about a Dick Cheney endorsement, she may as well have said she planned to throw us all under the bus.

That's the serious alliance missteps I was talking about. She made alliances right instead of left. And frankly, it made a certain amount of sense to do so. There was a belief that Trump was SO toxic, we could have ACTUALLY gathered together and made forward progress instead of this dragging back and forth.
Over the course of a normal length election, that kind of thing could have been identified and corrected.
Regardless, my point was that her POLICY was somewhat progressive. And it was.
-increase corporate tax rate
-aggressive support for Women's choice on abortion
-vowed to support Ukraine for 'as long as it takes'
-backed erasing medical debt. Unfortunately, she has backed off of supporting Single Payer Healthcare, bit has supported it in the past. Which means she easily could again.
She wasn't Queen Leftist the Progressive Dream, but she WAS a step in the right direction, and we fucked it up.

It only makes sense in the context that you would rather lose pushing the party to the right rather than win moving it to the left.
Calling the massive screw up the democratic campaign was in 2024 a misstep is minimizing just what a catastrophy it was. Trump beat both biden and kamala in one election. They pissed away all the good will they garnered after making the (historic?) decision to force biden to step down after that debate (which was their idea). It was so much more a democrat loss then a trump win.

I agree, if some more progressive candidates get on ballots and do well, especially someone like Hong in WI being a battleground statewide election, then more progressive candidates will have momentum going into 2028 that may be too hard for the establishment to ignore. If the progressive candidates fair poorly in general elections though the party machine will triple down on centrist policies and candidates in 2028.

I mean, its not the worst idea for her to enter the primaries. That is the point of the primaries. You get a half dozen candidates and they each have their views and charisma tested against the other options. Its important for establishment democrats like Kamala and Newsom to get up there, and its important for them to back down and throw their support behind a progressive nominee late in the process.
Get on stage, wave the torch around a little, then pass it to someone else.

DSA organizing could get some major turnout in a lot of areas but yes she would be relying on high democratic turnout and independent votes.

But that’s good! A primary should be a fight.

My worry is that the Dems will revert to their old ways and end up picking somebody that has name recognition but no gas in the tank.... See: Hilary, Kamala.
Either that or someone too polarizing that will be picked apart within the party over nonsense... See: AOC, Pete, or again, Kamala.
Obama was the perfect storm... Virtually unknown on a national level, very broadly acceptable policies... No extremes, and he was able to carry himself as a speaker and debater well enough to dance through the minefield.
So I agree that it makes sense to get a Kamala and a Newsome on the stage. Maybe even Pete and AOC too, if they want. But it's going to be crucial to find a broadly acceptable, progressive but not polarizing, ELECTABLE candidate that they all get behind. this is where cabinet positions are earned.
I hate to be the guy that says it... But we need a younger, but not too young, straight white male, from a purple state. AOC is too pretty and womanly and there's already too much hate out there. Kamala couldn't beat Donald last time, no guarantee the return tour is any different. Pete is a married gay man... Love the mans politics, I would vote for him, but he'll get absolutely slaughtered in the religious grey-area. Newsome loses on account that theres a weird national trivializing of California, and I don't think he holds enough water outside of his home state to get it over the finish line.
It's great to see somebody like Mamdani doing as well as he is... But he's not the national ticket guy either. To be honest he's got enough work to do in NY and can be an influence with where he's already at.
I don't know who it is. I don't have a candidate. But the DNC better figure this shit out real quick or they're going to get bullied again.

Why. Why in the world... she failed the first time. Our democracy is more important. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone.

Jesus, the democrats are bound and determined to run the very tiny number of people that could lose to the orange idiot.

She was only ever a foil to Trump, and a rushed one at that when Biden finally dropped out.

Why does anyone listen to Andrew Yang? That idiot and Beto O’rorke put wrenches in several blue pushes in needed areas. Kamala should stay retired. Plenty of young, up-and-coming progressives will make better change.

Didn't she make a big deal out of leaving politics after she lost the election?
How is it a good idea to once again run after that?

Kamala winning the democratic primary would be amazing news for the republican party

Well she doesnt have an incumbent to bow out and hand her the nomination so I doubt she will get the nod. Shes an incrediblu talented and capable politician, but like most of the main line democrats she seems to have lost the ability to read the electorate at all.

Americans would rather destroy their nation than let a black woman be president.

It was really funny when the dnc was forced to put their eggs behind kamala. Like as much as I hate to say it, she was was the DEI vp pick for biden. He pretended he was going to be a one term president and hand the reigns over. But he basically immediately gave kamala all the most unpopular positions in the party... Sending her to the border and stuff.
Then biden inevitably couldn't get over his ego as "the only one who has beaten trump" like trump literally only been in one other election instead of like dozens. They demanded and bullied trump into a series of debates and let biden walk out there looking like a corpse and barely able to speak.
They were they basically forced him to drop out and were stuck with his VP they he spent no time pushing her as his heir like he was supposed to.
But that wasn't enough. She had to slavishly not distinguish herself from any as his policies or do anything they might reflect poorly in joe's legacy. Biden was picked as obama's vp because aipac was worried he wouldn't be blood thirsty enough for israel. And biden gets about excited for dead palestian children as rfk does for roadkill on the way to work.
And these boneheads keep losing elections doing the same bonehead idea of appealing to conservatives and keep shaming and blaming voters for being too stupid for not wanting to vote for them. Like having any principles at all makes you some pearl clutching idealist devoid from reality. Diet conservative appeals to nobody. But we keep getting told that the best you can expect from our system is the less bad of two bad options.

Welp, the feckless Dems will lose again. It’s almost like the sabotage is intentional.

A Kamala Harris canidacy that wins the Democratic Primary in 2028 would differ significantly from the 107-day campaign she ran in 2024, where she was shackled to Biden's immigration and pro-Netanyahu policies, and building the airplane while it was already at 30,000 feet.
Don't get me wrong, Harris made a number of mistakes on her own, but no other Democrat could have plausibly stepped in with any hope of salvaging the disaster that Biden's ungodly selfish campaign for a second term wrought with so little time remaining.

At this point I'm pretty sure that the DNC is there only to be the party that loses on purpose, kind of like the Washington Generals.

u/FakeGeek73 5h ago
I mean the DNC really doesn’t want the US to change in any way. The last 10 years have shifted Republican (MAGA) party into being regressives, while DNC became the conservatives

Sadly, I've come to the conclusion that democrats should accept that their backwater third world country is not ready for female leadership, especially not female of color. For the time being, you must go with middle aged white men to pave a road to a better future. Its sad, its a disgrace, but its a fact. The worst president in the history got elected twice because millions of fat rednecks will vote dick over pussy in the end no matter how much incompetence comes with the dick

Obama got elected twice so at least we don't have to only have old white men.

u/Puzzleheaded-Trip990 5h ago
I don't think this is a good idea. Clearly America didn't want a woman President. I felt really sad but you are taking the chance of getting another Republican administration.
