In reply to the discussion: Kamala Harris tells BBC she may run for president again [View all]thought crime
(928 posts)Those who say we must run a straight white male have a defeatist attitude. They have already surrendered.
Kamala was a great candidate running in a terrible situation. She should have had two years to campaign but had little over two months. She showed herself to be very smart and qualified. She was the most adept debater anyone has seen in recent elections. She did her homework and was running 26 hours a day, always smiling. She is also very well positioned to hold the Democratic coalition.
I look forward to seeing how she approaches this. It looks good so far.
And I hope she picks AOC or Jasmine Crockett as a running mate. For those who think this would be crazy, you are part of the problem. Many young people see the Democratic Party as being too risk-adverse. We need to put our best foot forward and show great confidence in our ideas and in our very best leaders. If we are defensive we are losing.
