Fuck Bill Maher....thought that needed a thread of it's own

113. Harris made mistakes

I don't always agree with Bill Maher but he often makes good points. I had absolutely no problem voting for Kamala (and Hillary before her) -- both were by far the best candidate in November 2016 and 2024 respectively. However, they were both far from good candidates. Both were extremely competent. Unfortunately, as we are sadly experiencing, competence is not a priority of the American people. Neither Kamala or Hillary exuded the sort of authenticity that energizes voters (Bernie would have easily defeated Trump in 2016). Both Kamala and Hillary relied on policy wonk centralist liberalism that doesn't rouse progressives but most certainly does piss off conservatives.

For 2028 I'd love a Pritzker/AOC ticket. A not loony but actually progressive ticket. I think Bill Maher would actually agree (although it doesn't matter is he actual does or doesn't).
