He needs to hit the rally circuit with Bernie and AOC.
Get ready for that next run. AOC top of ticket, Walz for vice.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Mainstream media asshats:
I can get behind this.
I'm sorry don't run another woman. America well not vote one in. Both times Trump win was against women.
I doubt it's the fact that they were women. They both just ran on terrible platforms.
Kamala Harris was one of the most unpopular primary candidates in the 2020 primary, if not the most unpopular; Somehow that didn’t discourage the Democratic Party from anointing her in 2024.
If you think being a woman is why they lost you are an absolute idiot, and will quite litterally lose to the next Republican they run after Trump, who I promise, will be the most dedicated, fascist woman you've ever heard of.
Michelle Obama would clean the floor with dude. Ofc she's too decent to want to be president. We really need to convince her.

Why would they refer to a respectful distancing as "slamming"?
Because he's distancing himself from her politically to be able to run without their performance in the 2024 election dragging him down--and whomever wrote the article clearly has an issue with him and doesn't want the stunt to do what it was designed to do.
Because he’s distancing himself from her politically
I can see wanting to distance yourself from a failed campaign. Wonder why harris didn't.
The "news" profits from manufactured hype.
There's nothing in this article that matches the title
so..... its a news article in 2025?
It's going to take so much thinking to figure out why? I mean, the voters were pretty vocal in what they want, so that can't be the problem. Such a mystery...
voters are part of the problem. Half of them, about.
voters are part of the problem
It's why we don't listen to them.
This guy gets it. Maybe one of the only Democrats that does, sadly.
I can fully understand the sentiment behind "told you so" and calling out Trump/Republican voters for wanting to throw others under the bus. Still, you're going to have to build as powerful a coalition against the Republican administration as you can, and for many districts this will eventually require a good number of former MAGA people. It may feel shitty, but the most strategic thing (including for the purpose of helping the most oppressed) is to find a way so that potential supporters who voted red in 2024 won't be quiet 2026 and 2028 because of shame.
If you don't come around to this, two years down the road I would have grounds for saying "told you so" to you – and I'd hate me for it, because it would mean that I haven't communicated this crucial point effectively enough. Much love from Germany.

That was a ramble almost worthy of Trump, so many words to say so little
The article basically said nothing with more words than necessary.
