She was given many opportunities to do this when she was Vice and actively refused then was disrespectful about it when she was protested for it. People don't forget that kind of blatant slap in the face. This "effort" if real is going to be far too late for many.

It smacks of an opportunist that bends whatever way the wind is blowing. Reminds me of our president.

From "I'm speaking" and "Not here to say I told you so" to "Can I speak?" in only 2 years. That's honestly kinda impressive in the worst way possible. Hopefully her bid implodes in record time

Please God no! Just... No. Nobody wants her as president. If she's the primary again we have no chance... Again! Her having a short time to campaign had nothing to do with her not getting elected, it was her centrist views.

The Democrats really need to stop running on "Ya see what happens when Republicans are in charge?! I know you don't like our pick but we are the lesser of two evils".

That shit isn't working anymore. Fuck the DNC for being so tone deaf

Fuck you useless, go away

The fact she lost and LITERALLY vanished instead of leading a resistance means she will NEVER get my vote

What part of her campaign made you think she'd do anything except vanish?

From where I’m sitting, if you’re vying for a leadership role doing leadership stuff is the best way to get hired. It would be brand recognition essentially. Get out there, keep your name relevant, at least make it look like you care.

What did Darializa say again - "Fuck Kamala"

And just like that, centrists stopped saying a woman can't win.
