Honestly the story of how her campaign imploded was really fascinating but also unsurprising at the same time. No one knew who was in charge of it because she had her sister(or some other relative) at the helm but they had no experience running shit like that. So others tried to step up or were hired to do a certain job and were having issues with her sister. It was actually a lot of stuff but they couldn't even properly structure the campaign which is like the most basic fucking thing
I loved how she was billed as this progressive champion by :maybe-later-kiddo: type libs who built up this image of her in their heads then in reality Kamala tells people from south america "lol don't come here".
A really funny outcome could be if they chose Hillary Clinton and the republicans chose Donald Trump.
We were promised 2000 if Biden was elected.
Biden gave 16 cents in savings on 4th of July costs this year.
2000 + 16 = 2016
:illuminati:
Listen here jack, back in my, my place, back in my day, you'd go to the parlor round two in the afternoon, cause at one you were, listen, at two you'd go to the parlor and for a nickel you could, the thing, they'd sell you it, and you'd walk home to the train with your cone, only a nickel. And that's the America I'm proud to represent
Don't act like you don't know that it will be AOC, and any online leftist forum will tear itself apart in the struggle sessions
I’m certain AOC will run for President eventually but she’ll only be 34 in 2024 and therefore not eligible for the office. I think. Pretty sure you have to be 35 to be President.
I doubt it. She hired someone from Kamala's campaign staff and is playing much nicer with the establishment than the regular feuding she had been doing before. She won't want to step on anyone's toes - and midterm primaries are for deadbeats anyway (assuming Joe doesn't succumb to old age first).
Liked her since she caught a lot of hell for (accurately) calling Bloomberg an oligarch lol. Shes definitely better than anything we could reasonably expect from Democrats so obv she wouldn’t make it far
She's not particularly well liked by Dems or by the media. Unfortunately, I think it would be easier to kill her primary campaign than it was Bernies.
IDK, I'd still canvass for her.
It's likely Kamala will try to be the progressive/woke/neoliberal candidate while another firmer right-wing Democrat with more solid positions challenges her. I don't see any progressives that could challenge her at the moment.
I disagree somewhat. I think there is very much a socdem lane right now in the democratic base, and someone will run to try to claim it. Maybe it'll be AOC, maybe Warren, maybe someone we haven't heard of. But even an obscure nobody could probably get 10% just by being the only one to even plausibly carry that banner.

The top comment is pretty much what you'd expect - the redditor went so far as to include a link. Maybe he was panning for gold. And he couldn't even resist comparing her to Trump. Trump lives rent free in their heads 24/7...
Punchline/comment
She has similar unfavorability ratings to President Biden. Her unfavorability numbers are 10 points lower than Trump. (That is, Trump is less popular than Harris.)
This is pure clickbait journalism, amplified to create a consensus she's unpopular.
No one cares much about any VP.
But as you scroll down - you get criticisms of Kamala.
How r/politics redditors use "they/their" is always so amusing to me. In their fan fic - "they" are the villains trying to destroy the lib hero. "They" ends up being anybody the libs don't like.
-
Republicans.
-
Independents. Probably secret republicans. Why do they sound like Russian bots?
-
Anybody one millimeter to the left of Biden could be a Russian bot.
-
People farther than one millimeter - probably a Russian bot.
-
Us. What time is it in Moscow, Vlad?
The libs simply can't imagine that anybody would dislike a pol because of their terrible politics.
-
They’re trying so hard to give her the Hillary treatment because they know she’s their biggest threat.
Literally was in 5th place in her own damn state behind Andrew Yang
it seems fair to me. if her unfavorability is pretty much the same as biden's i dont see why this is news
I'm dunking on the libs not Kamala.
I don't take polls very seriously. Numbers go up, they stay the same, or they go down. What I think is perverse and funny about American politics is how seriously so many people take such stats. Both people in politics and regular people too. What does this stat mean? Right now Kamala being underwater doesn't mean much. 2024 is a horse race that's literally years away.
Yeah seems like the real news is "there's no reason to think the public perception of Harris has taken on any new character since the polls just mirror Biden's, so may as well default to the precedent set by her primary performance."
If Biden dies from a massive stroke in the next five minutes - I wonder how Kamala's administration would be. I assume it would be total dog shit. But I also assume the palace intrigue - the gossiping, the back stabbing, the lying, the misdirection, the jeremiads - would be solid gold. The US would go right into the toilet but at least it would be really funny and the stories would be amazing.
Even Dan Quayle, the much-mocked vice president of George H.W. Bush, was nowhere not underwater after six months.
Vice President Dan Quayle :07:
Gonna be so funny when sleepy joe dies and kopmala takes the throne and then the rebloodlicans sweep the midterms and impeach her lmao then frumop will win in 24 and institute hardline at home fascism and we all get gitmo d
At least we'll be with comrades in black sites/prisons. It's not about the destination, it's the friends you make along the way.
Nah, media coverage like this is how you know it won't be a coronation. If it was a rerun of Hillary in 2016 the media would be fawning over her.
This is the party laying the groundwork to pull the plug on her.
Find me the next Hillary Clinton.
:warren-medusa:
No, less popular
:klobuchar:
No, less popular than that
:amber:
Too far. Go back.
:top-cop:
Perfect.
laughed out loud thinking your title was the actual Telegraph headline
They brought her in top appease a small hand full of bougie black women.
Its been clear for a while that she is extremely unpopular.
She’s not going to inherit the Democratic nomination.
they shouldn't say that as they can't know if someone even barelly left will have support and they have to pick an extremelly unpopular former vice president to put in the grinder to stop it
tbf I can see biden dying before his term ends (this isn't a death threat fbi spies) then kamala will just incumbent her way into a second term
