    Bullshit, Kamala has never been popular.

    The neoliberals thought putting a brown woman next to Joe Biden would make people forget he was an old conservative white man.

    And Kamala agreed to that arrangement, because she was insanely unpopular.

    The only people who wanted her are the wealthy, and she couldn’t manage her own campaign team.

    If she could be a good president, shed have been running things when Biden was in office, instead of the motley crew who were doing their best Weekend at Bernie’s.

    That was her shot to show she had it. Instead they had to hide the fact that Biden couldn’t run till the last second, because they knew she didn’t have a shot in hell in a primary.

    DO.NOT.DO.THIS.AGAIN.

    There are no do-overs or backsies here. There is no room for error in the next election cycles, if we even get clean ones at this point.

    Yes I understand she would have won had not SOME people abstained from voting that now regret that. Yes I realize that GOP support has collapsed.

    No matter. MOVING ON.

      And the messaging that it’s a candidate’s turn is electoral poison. It stinks of entitlement and The Party Knows Best. That sank Hillary too.

    Please we need to not lose. Don’t force her again. Please. If she runs again, well, it’s another four years of Republican nonsense.

    Sorry, she doesn’t have a dong. If you’ll notice - the only people that Taco was able to beat were women. He didn’t win against men.

    Not sure how America gets over its stupid and backward misogyny, but it’s not going to happen by running candidates like Hillary or Kamala. Clearly.

    @return2ozma Mark Kelly is delirious! The Democratic Party and America will need strong leadership.

    Where in the hell is she? Where has she been since the election?

    In her term as VP, she was given responsibility for our southern border and all that goes with it. It was 3 years before she even visited it! Leadership? She pissed off many of her staff, many threatened to resign! She was Biden’s pick, not the peoples!

    Kelly doesn’t see Pritzger or Newsome as strong leaders? Where’s his head?

      Why the fuck are your top three shitty neoliberals?

      Don’t know why it needs repeating so much:

      Voters don’t like now liberals, that’s why they keep losing

      We finally have a non biased dnc chair, we don’t have to settle for “as progressive as billionaires want” we can absolutely go for “as progressive as voters want”.
