Harris' political options are closed.
Harris managed to convince the DNC to forgo a primary and annoint them and then they lost the fucking election.
End.
Lost all THREE branches of government. A colossal failure of a campaign.
-Former VPs
-From California
-Lost an election < You are here
-Ran for California Governor
-Ran for the presidency again
Reagan? Reagan 2.0?
The way Democrats are tacking to the right it's not far off
God, I hope not.
More like a Nixon 2.0
At least Nixon did a few decent things, something that is absolutely impossible to say about Ronald Reagan. Although.. he did get seriously demented in his second term, maybe I’m a bit too negative.
If we look at Kamala Harris's political path, she has more similarities with Nixon than with Reagan. But we will have to wait and see if she runs for governor of California and then if she wins or loses.
It worked for Tricky Dick.
Tbf, when Biden dropped out, there really wasn't a lot of time to organize 50 primaries according to each state's election rules and then get the result onto the general ballot in time for those deadlines.
tbf, Biden shouldn't have run for re-election in the first place.

You got any sources for that? When Biden stepped down initially they were looking for who would replace him. His vice president / running mate was an obvious choice. I don't think I ever read anything about her trying to convince them. More then trying to convince her.

I could be wrong but I think she's done for good. She didn't do a good enough job obviously, and advisers helped her to fail.
Jesus could have run against trump, healing the sick and forgiving loans left and right, and still the misinformationskiy would have overpowered him.
More than half of Americans are not literate enough to read medicine warning labels.
Its not Harris who failed the people. The problem started a decade ago.
Secede already.
Yup. As many failures as Harris has had, it doesn't come close to the amount of insanity it takes to justify a vote for Trump. Around half of the American voters have failed America and to me, there's no one else to blame.

to be fair what the fuck is an antihistamine containing hydroxyzine
what the fuck is an antihistamine
Anti-allergy drug
Hydroxyzine
Histamine H1 Inhibitor, but what it does is a lot like an anesthetic
So it's an anti-allergy medication that also gives immediate relief from allergy symptoms
I'd hope most people who passed high school science could answer what an antihistamine is, and be able to google hydroxyzine, but yeah no I shouldn't
Yeah, no. She's no longer a viable candidate.
But I'm sure the DNC will think differently, which is one more reason why this timeline is the worst.

She's welcome to try, but no universe exists in which Harris wins the Democratic primary. So unless the exact set of circumstance that led to her candidacy in 2024 are somehow repeated (fat chance), she has no path to the presidency.
Biden 2028?
I mean half the reason he was replaced is because he likely won't last until 2028.
I was joking because after his '28 run, she could get the same 'in' (though not really the same, because he wouldn't run again only to drop out).
Failed joke.
My bet is that he'll outlive Trump.
I hope he fades out of the news completely and we have no information at all about whether he lives or dies.
Great, another useless figurehead. Kamala Harris took the Democratic nomination, and lost every single swing state, while her team fundraised telling us all she was going to win. She's never getting my vote again.
She should have been honest and told us she was going to lose all along.
A mediocre candidate who lost the 2020 primary badly and only got the VP spot because she was buddies with Bidens dead son. She them went on to lose badly to Trump.
I voted for her but it was really a vote for Not Trump. Hopefully this the last we hear of her.
She needs to fade off into obscurity.
Hey don't you worry about it.. In the next three point five years you'll see an amazing growth and national prominence in the incredible third parties our "lefty" friends have been promoting as they have the time and inclination to do the hard work it takes to become a presidential contender.
Next Presidential Election when they're all like "I refuse to vote for either party" it'll be because [insert party name here] has been on fire in all 50 states and is ready to take down the duopoly! Go get 'em! Everyone hates the Dems, let's carpe the fuck outta this diem! Yeah!
Or, y'know, just bitch about everything for 3.5 years, do nothing, and fuck it up again. Whatever. I doubt there'll be an election anyway so - pressure's off!
She cant win in any open primary.
