She won't win. The right will never vote for her because they see her as far left, and the far left will never support her because they she's not "pure" enough for them. The only people who will vote for her are people who lean moderately to the left which make up somewhere around 1/3 of voters.

MODERATORS
That "or" is doing some serious heavy lifting.
I might buy a new television or an automobile.
I’m writing an 800 page scientific paper on quantum mechanics or I’m taking a shit
Will there be elections?
Senate is a safer bet, and Shmucker needs to go.
Please no president. Senate is ok.
America has shown it can't handle a woman, much less woman of color, much less young, much less progressive. The DNC just needs a straight white man who is decently progressive but appears to be moderate on stuff. All of this to say: Tim Walz please.
Probably Senate to primary Schumer. That would be the only logical move.
Schumer is a spineless AIPAC sellout. Easily one of the main reasons why the Democratic Party is so disliked.
I think everyone can agree: Fuck Chuck Schumer, he has to go.
New York can do better than Schumer. The toughest part is all the money and endless positive press that sellouts get.
Congratulations for scapegoating women rather than addressing any of the other more meaningful commonalities between Clinton and Harris.
People don’t really care about identity politics as much as the politicians do
The sexism even more disgusting when compounded with the hypocrisy: centrists smeared Sanders in 2020 by claiming he said women can't win.
Now that they don't want a particular woman to run, they'll scream that sexist garbage like it's gospel.
I'm talking about the moderate conservatives who hate Trump, and maybe aren't too involved in politics. They are more traditional but would vote for progressive policies if they were packaged correctly. It's a sad state of the country, but with Newsmax and Fox brainwashing people, that's the only winning strategy.

They. Will. Never. Vote. For. A. Democrat. You're alienating your base in order to chase a bunch of nazis to the right.
You can't say you want someone who is "decently progressive" and then pretend we can't nominate a woman because we don't want to turn off moderate conservatives. It's nonsensical.
Her gender wasn't even a serious line of attack during the campaign and she went so hard to the center she was losing votes in the cities, the core source of Democratic votes.
It's not what I want. It's what the non-MAGA moderates would vote for.
because moderate politics have been going so well lately ...
Notice how I said "appear". Just the fact that he's an old, straight, white male is good enough for many of the moderate conservatives who hate Trump.
And here we go again. Get a conservative who pretends to be moderate! (You know that's what it will be. It's why you're advocating for yet another fucking moderate) We'll get the conservative vote this time! Or we'll lose! The important thing is that no one to the left ever gets representation!
You should go read my comment again, because you completely missed the point.
You're advocating for trying to appeal to republicans. That's what the party does. It's how they keep losing.
I'm advocating for appealing to their most base desire, which is bullshit identity stuff. A sadly large amount of people would vote for a white man just because it's a white man. The policies themselves could be pretty progressive.
The policies themselves could be pretty progressive.
From the people who seriously expected you to buy "biden is the most progressive president since FDR" and "I'm a progressive who gets things done."
Maybe if the party would quit trying to pass off centrism as progressive, I'd buy that.
ok baby boy, you do you, have a good day
When centrists know they're wrong, they get condescending.
Concession accepted.
Look at my post history jabroni, you just want to argue but not read
What, as a “government in exile” kind of thing?
In before the delusional naive tell us how she’s going to save the day.
Do people in the US not realise there won’t be any more fair elections? A coup is unfolding by white supremacists and you’re all like “here, look, the brown female chick will right the ship”.
Go to the history section of a library before they burn them down.
Came here to say this. Look prople, Trump bragged that is we elected him, it would be the last time we needed to vote. We need to start believing him when he says things. There will be no 2028 election. Look how much he's already broken, and he has 3 more years to finish breaking our democracy.
There will be elections probably, the same way Russia or North Korea do "elections"
Fuck off doomer.
A point well argued with merit and substance. Perhaps you want to become a master debater?
Elections in the US are never fair. They’re simply a contest of who gets the smartest lawyers and the most funding.
