The first step for the candidates running in next year’s California Senate race is to quietly try to spook newly appointed Sen. Laphonza Butler into not running at all.
the Harris administration
Excuse me, but what the fuck did you just say? The what administration?
There is a better chance of aliens landing on my front lawn, knocking on my door, and telling me I won the publishers clearing house than there is of Kamala Harris winning a presidential election.
True, but somehow I don’t think that is the insinuation that OP was making.
You got me, I was trolling, but only a little bit.
As the sitting VP, she is the next one in line in the Democratic Party apparatus. So all the same folks who made sure Hillary got it in 2016 and Biden in 2020 will be pulling all the same tricks in 2028.
Generally speaking, I would agree. However, Kamala Harris in no way has the same level of institutional power that Clinton or Biden brought to the table.
Plus, she is normie poison in a general election, and we already proved that she gets eaten alive in an open primary contest, absolutely no question about that. Even Gavin will come for blood if it means getting a chance at the big chair. She has, and I mean this literally, a 0% chance of ever being elected President of the United States.
We said very similar things about Donald Trump in 2016, and he managed it. It’s uphill for Harris, but she will benefit from having all that time watching Biden and maybe learning how to have a personality herself in the process.
And who knows? She might also have the benefit of incumbency herself if Joe wins another term, but that term outlasts his ticker.

This is true only if you’re stuck inside the Twitter bubble and refuse to step outside into real life
I think you’re confusing me for you because:
-
I’m not a Twitter / X user
-
I actually understand the state of American politics, and accept the reality that pandering to normie/centrist/independent political ideology is what wins elections
-
I care more about moving this country forward than virtue signaling about having a female president
-
I understand how uncharismatic and unpopular Kamala Harris was/is/will continue to be
I actually cannot understand how someone could be so blind to reality. Hillary Clinton already tried to play queen maker on her own behalf while being a historically unpopular candidate because she thought she was OWED her turn in line.
In the process she propped up Donald Trump as a spoiler candidate, rigged the DNC against Bernie Sanders, and fucked this country into the timeline we have been stuck in for the last (almost) decade.
I’m not laughing because I know this brand of identity politics camouflaged as faux progressivism leads to failure. I care about political results in the real world, and if you think I’m the one in the bubble you need to wake up and smell the napalm.
I wasn’t referring specifically to you but I also can’t take you seriously with that absurd “rigged the DNC” nonsense. You sound like trump.
