can win the presidency. This country is still too racist and misogynistic and I don't expect that to change for a long time. Her candidacy was not badly handled, by the way. She did brilliantly, considering the huge disadvantage of such a short amount of time for campaigning.

I saw a real groundswell for her but it was far too short a time for her to win. I think she did brilliantly too! So do we advance her?

What we need to do is to start NOW getting our next candidate in mind and then in motion. If it is Kamala we have some built in credits in the campaign she laid down for us before. Only this time we have a much longer runway.

I think there is a real political hunger for a woman POTUS. We saw it before and it didn't just go away!

Trump is gonna fuck up royally, based on his past performance. We have to play on that DISGUST while also not just being a party with no one to be FOR.

Kathy Hochal and Gretchen Whitmer. I've seen both in the national press lately.

She's my Governor.

You don't want to lose her as your governor?

Barring proof that musk stole the election for trump, there's no room for do overs

I think that if she starts criticizing the current misadministration frequently, maybe daily, AND outlining the way government should work, she could act like a de facto shadow President. I mean, the Felon-in-Chief pulled something akin to that for 4 years, inspiring the more twisted angels of human nature. I think it'd take fighting back for the next 4 to inspire the better ones

Maybe she is just taking a break to recharge but she seems to not want to be on the front lines fighting at this moment.

She's earned a break after four great years. Maybe she'll emerge later when the time is good. California will always appreciate her service if she doesn't wish to run for the top position again.

If she has the energy and drive to compete and win, terrific.

Personally, I'll bet she won't want to run again. I don't care if it's Kamala or someone else, as long as they are our best.

Yes, many in this country clearly have a problem with sexism and racism, but that doesn't mean women should completely concede and continue the sexist narrative that only a man, and with the exception of President Obama, a white man, is entitled to the Presidency.

That thought process only helps the creeps and the narrative that gave us the con artist. And the Authoritarian White Supremacy narrative that are forcing on us with the help of spineless major media.

I will never concede women's equality and competence to appease bigots.

Bernie , Swalwell, Newsome yea Black Woman not yet to many crazies I mean racists. Love to see her do the Attorney General gig she knows what's up.

We tend not to give people who lose elections (even if it is not her fault) a second chance.

No, I think Democrats need something far removed from the status quo type candidates.

But bear in mind, that Trump will not be running again (because he'll be dead, I hope) and no one else in the GOP has the "charisma" to appeal to the MAGA idiots out there, so maybe we just need someone who can beat Vance. Should be easier (but I thought Trump would lose easily, so I'm probably wrong about all of it).

This country WILL NOT elect a woman as President any time soon.

Too misogynistic.

It sucks but that's reality.

Obviously if the Dem nominee is a woman again, I will vote for her, unless by some miracle we have gotten RCV or something like that (and still I would vote for the Dem woman over a Repuke any day).

But no way in hell I would advocate for ANY woman to run for President in the U.S.

We need to win. Give me a middle aged white man who is a decent and competent human being with reasonably liberal or at least SANE policies, who can WIN in this effed-up electoral system.

I'm not sure who would though.

Kamala Harris is considering a run for the Governor's seat in California.

She has been silent but so was Hillary Clinton after her loss. It took HRC a while before reentering the national conversation.

Getting cozy with Cheneys?!
Yuck.
Giving Liz Cheney credit for resisting the worst, sure,
but
