I won't be voting for her, but only because she isn't authentic or left enough. We need real change.
We have certainly, the question is whether our voices will be listened to and empowered or not... and that is much harder to be optimistic about.
The average person in the US I think has changed a lot, you can see it in the way that Trump didn't even try to sell the Iran War, people don't want it and will tear any excuse Trump or his bullshit administration tries to stick to up into shreds and so they see no point in even trying. That feels cynical but on the flipside it also exposes their desperation, the US public is not biting when it is supposed to be biting and as hopeless as we all feel right now that does mean something, it means something big is changing.
oh god no
Please do! But, let's have a completely fair primary with lots of other great candidates to choose amongst as well.
Ah well, last week she gave her kiss of death to Crockett in the Dem Senate primary in TX. And I think Crockett, had she been nominated, would have gone on to lose in November...so all the better.
But it would be interesting to see how the numbers would differ without Harris' endorsement.
Crockett is doing great work already, in her district where we have reasonable hope she will stay in office.
A statewide run would be much more challenging.
I don't get why people are saying, "no" in here. Let her run, we will get to check out all the options and decide in primaries. I don't see anything wrong with that.
I'm not from the US but I can see how her running would also end up hindering any other more progressive candidates by dividing the voter pool, due to the crappy FPTP system the US has in place
Please don’t.
I’m just going to say right now that I won’t vote for her, not even for supposed harm reduction purposes. Democrats have to do better.
Of course she will. That's the plan. They are a team, this is how they support their fascist buddies.
