1. Sigh 💙

2. "Dems have no message, no economic plans, ignore the working class, we have no idea who they are,"

people insist as they firmly cover their eyes and ears and turn off their brains, mouths open and flapping.

3. I hope Kamala runs again. After the 2024 election, I think she knows a thing or two.

Kamala Harris is the only candidate who has obliterated Trump in a debate. She proved that she has excellent qualifications for President and a great grasp of issues. Also very important; she most effectively bridges the divides in the Democratic Coalition. I really want her to run again.

I would really look forward to watching presidential primary debates with Kamala, Gavin Newsom, Jasmine Crockett, AOC and others.

21. Dems have never re-run someone who lost POTUS/VP in my lifetime

As much as I'd to have a female POTUS (her included), in 2028, I just don't see it happening.

AG, otoh, would be absolutely perfect. With her deputy, Jack Smith!!!

4. No plan for armed masked goons executing American citizens in the street?

Converse sneaker licking doesn't have the same ring to it as boot licking.

5. Concepts of a plan won out over an actual plan.... Except, that's not actually true....

The Project 2025 plan was the plan hiding in plain sight that almost nobody voted for but actually won out.

In a way, it is a model for what Democrats must learn to do:
Nobody really wants to hear an actual plan--they want to fall in love with a messenger and put their trust in them. But there needs to be an actual plan behind that messenger. Except in Democrats' case it needs to be a plan to do good; not evil.

I will admit that I got frustrated hearing Democrats endlessly rattle off numbers and statistics in 2024. Given the current electorate, Harris probably would have been better served to just say, "trust me, I have a plan for that. And here is why you can trust me...."

Given that these are politicians and politics we are talking about, I'm not sure anybody believes the detailed plan is ever going to happen anyway. All they really need is a reason to feel good about their vote. Time spent laying out detailed plans based on numbers nobody cares about just takes time away from making a real connection with voters on a human level.

7. REPUBLICANS ARE PEDOPHILES! Here's the LIST!-----

I believe the winning margin in 2024 had to do with the economy---
but Democrats should NOT leave such a damaging arrow in their quiver,
and should scream it from the rooftops in such a way that cannot be ignored!


'Dirty politics'? SORRY, but we have SO MANY DIRTY REPUBLICANS!!!!


'so if you VOTE for Republicans, you are voting for criminals, terrorists, nazis
AND CHILD-RAPING PEDOPHILES, and here's PROOF with NAMES!'


I'd like to see THAT in some Democratic campaign advertisements!

22. I hear what you're saying but I thought Kamala's campaign *was* what you're talking about wanting to see

She had a small handful of numbers/stats but by and large, "trust me, I have a plan for that. And here is why you can trust me...." was pretty much her vibe as I remember it

6. It wasn't all racism. Misogyny played its part.

[niyad]

15. A VERY large part. This country is so far behind the other advanced countries

when it comes to women in political, corporate, or indeed, any real power. It is embarrassing.

19. It was Vlad.

9. Hello.

And goodbye!
Or I guess I should say good riddance!

10. What flavour pizza do you like?

13. I have no clue why, but she loves TombStone pizza

16. Given how many times as one has been delivered, certainly true!

17. Well I got a few words in below to go

with the pizza.

18. That, and her plans just weren't good enough for some that claim to be progressive.

They need to revisit the root word of the term and stop letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Tens of millions of us are in a much worse spot now than we were before or than we would have been had Kamala and other good Democrats been elected.

I fully expect MAGA Republicans to do everything they can to prevent progress, but not those that claim to be progressive.
