    The fact that Kamala is even going to try to run again shows how fucked that party is.

        The worse the republicans screw up, the more the Democrats are convinced they don’t need to change. I don’t think Kamala is going to end up on the ticket. I think the democratic establishment is going to push Gavin Newsom and Rahm Emanuel or something dumb like that.

        Bruh, it’s a meaningless poll. There’s no election coming up. Hoping and pretending isn’t going to change anything. Forget any pretense of another election.

          There’s no election coming up.

          The spectacle of election is never going away. We literally just had two house special elections at the start of the month.

          We’ve got some pivotal gubernatorial races in November. I’m sure we’ll have more special elections as our existing crop of geriatric politicians die out. Then a bunch of legislative races in '26, etc.

          The spectacle won’t end. We’re going to keep doing the ritual for a long while.

            Yes, mostly meaningless elections. I wouldn’t even expect midterms, let alone the national.

      To be fair to Kamala, she hasn’t announced that she’s running in 2028. Neither has AOC for that matter. This is just some pollster polling against some names that people might have heard of.

      I know it’s fucking ridiculous. She didn’t get people to the polls last time against Trump… if she can’t get people to vote against him she can’t get people to vote at all.

          Neat! But your words don’t mean anything because unless we fight, no election matters. So many Americans are under the impression that we can vote our way out of this. I’m sorry, sometimes a country is in turmoil and your only choices are fight or die. Nobody chooses this, but if you choose to avoid it, you’re only hurting yourself and kids. Sometimes you don’t have a choice but to fight.

            Yes. She’s been helping expand health coverage for more Michiganders, protecting all Michiganders from discrimation for housing and job employment, protected and enabled those seeking abortions, helped get major funding for horrendous roads, and always seems to be one of the first governors to protect their people when the GOP on a federal level passes anything that weakens us.
