The 2024 runner-up is weighing a 2028 bid that evokes dread in the vast majority of Democratic operatives and donors. Why? Aidan McLaughlin spoke with more than two dozen of them to find out—and get a sense of her deliberations behind the scenes.
2/3 of the voters didn’t vote for Kamala and effectively voted, not voting is a vote, against their own interests. For many of them, it wasn’t about the policies or what her position was. It was because she was a minority woman.
If you don’t acknowledge the fact that many Americans are either misogynists, racists, or both, nothing will change.
Of course a giant chunk of people are bigots. They’re called trump voters, and anyone they’d elect is someone not worth electing.
The people we need are the ones who didn’t vote, and they overwhelming talk about specific policy issues with Kamala, they saw Trump as a non-starter because he’s a bigoted greedy piece of shit.
As a Kamala voter most people I know chose to not vote because she’s a fucming neoliberal.
The sort of people willing to vote in someone who’s neither white or a man, aren’t willing to vote in another useless so-nothing neolib.
Fucking run AOC. NO ONE UNDER 40 WANTS NEOLIBERALISM. Its not fucking hard dude.
But yeah continue to ignore literally everyone who decided not to vote, I’m sure that will get them to the polls next time around.

Non voters caused all the problems, and most people bitching on Lemmy/reddit did not vote.
Yeah that’s my point. If you run someone the non-voters want to vote for THEY’LL ACTUALLY GO OUT AND VOTE.
Its crazy what actually having a personal incentive to vote will do.
No one under 40 votes, so AOC is irrelevant.
Yeah its almost like people who don’t have candidates that represent them don’t want to vote.
I WONDER HOW WE COULD FUCKING FIX THAT?!?!
Like Jesus Christ dude, how cognitively nearsighted are you?
