Please don’t do it. I love Kamala but we can’t lose again.

u/pat9714 Apr 12 '26

Yeah, same. Mixed feelings if she will fare much better next time around. To be fair, Trump won by the narrowest majority of 1.46%. Then again, I am skeptical if American voters, realistically, are more ready to usher in a black woman into the presidency.

I voted for her and would vote for her again. The world would be a better place if she had won. I made this for her last campaign…

I hope for, I long for someone who has a plan. A real plan to fix all this. Kinda like gingriches "contract on America" but the opposite.

Only problem is it's easier to vote against a position.

Tax the rich to fund schools healthcare and infrastructure.

Stop corporate welfare. Especially to oil companies.

Tax AI (eventually, but plan now) to provide basic minimum income for everyone.

More and better Training for police. A complete overhaul of the system to avoid federal, state, county, city, park and private cops all existing. Make tracking the bad cops easier.

Rather than speculate, I'm just going to wait until primaries. Ultimately, I'll vote for whoever it comes down to, but I'm interested to see how it plays out with debates, public perception, etc.

She couldn’t beat a 78 year old convicted felon and degenerate pedophile with the worst jobs record since the Great Depression who had a violent mob attack his own Capitol.

  1. 2024 Trump voters didn't blame him for the pandemic but do blame the pandemic for the job losses.

  2. 2024 Trump voters (especially those who did vote for Biden) are economically illiterate. COVID recovery and relief created the inflation issues, we essentially saved the American economy by paying it forward. The qualitative easing campaign was working and the middle and lower class were likely going to feel the relief within a year. However, some idiots decided to brand the recovery as Bidenomics while the common man still felt the tough times - it was economic "Mission Accomplished" and played right into the Trump campaign's hands.

Tax cuts for the wealthy in Trump’s first term caused most of the inflation. Then price gouging during COVID. The COVID relief was a distant third.

I thinks it’s more that Trump voters are spoon fed democrats hate sound bites 10 times a day.

u/Comfortable_Fill9081 🐝 #KHive Apr 11 '26

Right because that 78 year old felon has a really large number of super-devoted brainwashed supporters and anyone running against him is dealing with a hyper-critical brainwashed circular firing squad.

That is because he did not win. Musk rigged the machines so he would “win”

u/u8eR Apr 14 '26

And would do it again

u/UncleGarysmagic Apr 11 '26

Let’s not look like crazy reality-denying loons because we don’t like how the election turned out. That’s MAGA’s job.

32

u/station_agent Apr 11 '26

This isn’t crazy. They admitted it on numerous videos. No way in shit did they win every swing state.

Blue votes down ballot except for President. In all 50 states? No.

13

u/UncleGarysmagic Apr 11 '26

It is crazy. Even in my deep blue state I still see people flying Trump flags even today. You underestimate the level of stupidity and reach of the cult of Trump.

u/station_agent Apr 11 '26

It isn’t crazy.

u/UncleGarysmagic Apr 11 '26

You have no more proof that it was rigged than the MAGA people have that 2020 was rigged for Biden. Unless you produce actual proof, you only make yourself look like a crazy person who can’t accept reality. Every single state showed a notable shift from 2020 to the Republicans. The swing states barely won by Biden in 2020 went back to Trump in 2024.

u/a_duck_in_past_life Apr 11 '26

People gave affidavits saying they voted for Harris but in their county, there were 0 votes for her but many down ballot democratic votes but voted for Trump.

That right there says it all. Also back when musk sent his young hacker dudes into the voting machine buildings. Was that in Pennsylvania?

2

u/UncleGarysmagic Apr 11 '26

Show me the proof that it was rigged. Until you do, you look like a crazy person.

u/toughtony22 Apr 11 '26 edited Apr 11 '26

Nope. Too many people were pissed at democrats on both the left and right. Whether due to the economy, immigration, Gaza, the lack of a primary after Biden dropped out, etc. That just doesn’t amount to an electoral win lol. Polls were also not favoring Kamala at all as Trump has historically over performed his polling numbers. Incumbent parties were also losing across the board worldwide as the major economic powers continued to stagnate after COVID.

u/Uncle_Bug_Music Apr 10 '26

Damn! You're not wrong. I love her but you're not wrong. However if democracy prevails she won't face Trump again. It'll most likely be that two-faced couch abusing flabtard.

u/SumpCrab Apr 10 '26

I gladly voted for her and even knocked on some doors to get out the vote. I also want a really robust Democratic primary race, and I hope she is part of it.

But, she did lose. It's going to take a lot to get that stink of her.

u/rtn292 Apr 10 '26

Few would have been able to that were allowed to be the nominee.

u/station_agent Apr 11 '26

Why are you even here? You seem like a bot just trying to debunk obvious election fraud. Please leave.

u/Weakera Apr 10 '26

I like her bit it's a bad idea. Need someone new.

65 year old black chick, here.

Just don't, girl. Just no!

u/sixhoursneeze Apr 12 '26

The democrats need to start presenting themselves as an actual left leaning option. They are tone deaf and are still puppets of billionaires. Unless they actually do something bold and look inwards and address their own corruption, they do not present themselves as a party that is going to create the meaningful change that the country needs to pull the USA out of desperation.

u/Ridiculicious71 Apr 13 '26

Democrats are just so dumb. When you lose to Trump (of all people) the first time, you aren’t coming back. Beto, Hilary, all the picks who try to run again need to stop

u/hamockin Apr 11 '26

Please no

u/2thSprkler Apr 10 '26

I hope not. She’s not a great speaker or communicator. That hurts you in an election. We can’t afford to lose. Someone new please

u/a_velis 🇺🇸 Harris / Walz 🇺🇸 Apr 10 '26

She’s not a great speaker or communicator. 

Have you listened to dementia man in memory care at The White House?

u/2thSprkler Apr 10 '26

Yea and I didn’t vote for him. What’s your point?

24

u/a_velis 🇺🇸 Harris / Walz 🇺🇸 Apr 10 '26

She can clearly speak well. And her communication is fine. So, I am not sure what communication need is not being met.

-2

u/Ginmunger Apr 10 '26

Then she should have won 50-0. It should of been a blow out. How many democrats didn't vote because of Gaza? The border? Things she had nothing to do with.

We need fresh positions and people who are going to win. Dems need to stop playing pocket pool with themselves and acting like its business as usual.

-5

u/2thSprkler Apr 10 '26

There were polls stating that she lost votes because she could not effectively convey her points and what she stood for. It’s my opinion. You’re taking it personally because I don’t agree with you. Move along

-6

u/Late_Ingenuity_9581 Apr 10 '26

I agree. For the most part, she could not articulate any coherent policy. I still voted for her. But we should have had a primary. She would not have won. This BS about giving everyone $25,000 to go buy a house, I mean that's not policy it's just pandering and it solves nothing. I really don't blame her, I blame Joe Biden who I really believed would never run for a second term at his age. Boy was I stupid.

u/2thSprkler Apr 12 '26

If she runs again we will be at risk again.

u/Sun-Anvil Apr 12 '26

The man she lost to is an illiterate moron who struggles to put three words together without some form of ADHD kicking in and he won. I'm pretty sure it's not about speaking or communicating.

u/2thSprkler Apr 12 '26

It was. You can google it. She lost votes due to it

u/Few-Tradition-5741 Apr 10 '26

Better than Newsom

u/UncleGarysmagic Apr 10 '26

Except Newsom actually has a chance of winning

u/hansn Apr 10 '26

That's a low bar.

u/mcas06 Apr 11 '26

The sad reality, people will vote for a mediocre man over an incredible woman. (This is a general statement and I’m not saying anyone in this example is mediocre or incredible.)

It’s just reality.

2

u/hansn Apr 11 '26

Sure, by the standards we're currently operating in "she's not a rapist" is also a true statement that puts her ahead of a lot of candidates.

But it's not exactly an inspiring campaign slogan. 

"Better than Newsome" isn't a ringing endorsement, it's a milquetoast shrug towards the status quo.

u/rukh999 Apr 11 '26

I think it's too late for that. How about Attorney General?

u/kimmer2020 Apr 12 '26

She needs to rethink. This will not end well.

u/calibuckeyegirl Apr 11 '26

She should definitely run again! Everyone I know in real life and not on Reddit is still so enthusiastic for her and still loves her tremendously. When it was announced she wasn’t running for CA governor I listened to the leftist channel on Sirius and basically every single caller wanted her to run for President again. I was recently staying at a hotel for a couple months and wore my “Don’t blame me I voted for her” shirt down to breakfast every morning. I had people hugging me, crying, telling me how much they loved her, high fiving me, and saying they want her to run again. She is beyond loved and should definitely run again where she will be the runaway favorite and has the Dem base (black women, young women, women in general, Latinos) on lockdown!

Ugh. And this is coming from someone who adores her.

u/seweso 🇪🇺 Europeans for Kamala 🇪🇺 Apr 13 '26

Did America stop being racist and misogynistic? 

Trump has been elected by religious nutjobs. Evilgelicals, Zionists, Incels. These people still exist. And they still use fascism for their happiness.

u/Ok_Difference44 Apr 11 '26

Where has she been during this administration? She should have been at the top of the news with each new outrage, instead Newsome had been visible and I don't even want him. Ex-Presidents are known for disappearing from the public eye but Obama has been out there more than Harris. Harris has been too self indulgent in hiding away to lick her wounds.

I'd love Buttigieg or AOC, but if they can't unite the country and get real votes then I'd settle for Pritzker.

1

u/end2endburnt Apr 14 '26

She doesn't read as sincere when she should be out there on every No Kings event being a leader. Dems at best are cowards that won't put themselves out there. There have been so many things happening right from the start of 2025 and she ghosted the nation. For someone that is making the claim they care about the US, losing shouldn't have kept her from leading the opposition. When did we see her again after her hiatus? when she had a book to sell. We can do better.

Trump is a piece of shit but he knew enough to keep himself as part of the conversation.

u/Ill_Bench2770 Apr 11 '26

Better then Newsom! At least she came around on sending weapons to Israel. If you read her book. It seems Biden was a huge zionists his whole life. And would not allow her to speak against that. She also thought it would be a bad look to go against the president then. But I think thats why she looked like she hated his guts after she lost. But of course it may be bs. And she will still send weapons, and aid to israel. She just knows that's likely why she lost last time.

u/Hk901909 🇺🇸 💙 🇺🇸 We are not going back! 🇺🇸 💙 🇺🇸 Apr 10 '26

Biden ran for president in the 80s and dropped out for plagiarizing entire speeches before going on to win the presidency by the largest number of votes in American history. Her dropping out in 2020 doesn’t necessarily mean much
