Buttigieg is Elitist as hell. He wants to be President just to be President. And he just makes Word Salad

I... think commentary is better aimed at the Kamala 2020 camp (RIP) than me.

But this article wasn’t trying to figure out why people don’t like Kamala Harris. It was about what Kamala Harris thought of a very popular (and negative) meme about her and if she had any plans to tackle it. The campaign’s response was to mention Tulsi Gabbard (the last person on my mind re: this meme) and suggest

A much simpler way to address this: if Harris couldn’t deal with a relatively innocuous and not-entirely inaccurate meme, how on earth could she have dealt with Trump?

I didn’t say they were, fuck you very much. I’m not allowed to make an honest mistake?

She took Biden’s racist policies and made them worse. She has ties to the private prison industry. There is also her support for the prison firefighter program, giving prisoners chainsaws but then they can’t actually get a job as a firefighter after getting out.

The Kamala is a Cop thing only hurt her insofar as she was unprepared to defend her record as a prosecutor when it was raised against her. A good response to it could have easily turned it into a strength, but what really seems to have killed her campaign was a lack of strategic thinking that had her trying to make

Now that Harris has announced that she’s ending her presidential campaign, the meme’s impact is worth a deeper examination.

We need the broom for Pete like yesterday. Being president to him is just another Trophy. When you make Bloomberg seem authentic, your time is up.

YES. GET THE FUCK OUT PETE.

If you can’t even get your campaign to the first primary without it imploding from mismanagement, you can’t win a general election (or run a country).

It’s interesting that one of the few candidates to have run a department was the one it turns out couldn’t even run water down hill. It gives some credence to her claims that she had no idea that her office was doing all the stuff she’s been criticized for, but also shows that she shouldn’t actually be in charge of

So, Kamala Harris dropping out means we have 4 more years of Trump? Seems pretty defeatist. I mean, I liked Harris but she didn’t really resonate with many people and also was highly unpopular with the black electorate. A mildly popular centrist dropping out of the race doesn’t seem like a death knell for the

Her ‘9-5' school day idea is what convinced me to not vote for her.  We should be moving away from the idea that school is a daycare, not towards it.

Lots of people seem to be forgetting that she did stuff like let innocent people stay in jail even after they were proven innocent

Unless your candidate is Pete or Joe, in which case, reexamine your life.

I did. As soon as she announced the layoffs last month, I knew her campaign was a dead duck. She followed the classic failing business model of public relations in that regard.

Good. I know people talk about the right candidate, but in the wrong electoral cycle, but with her cop loving background she was never going to be the right candidate no matter the cycle. I want to see a black woman become president in my lifetime, which is precious few elections now, but I want it to be the right

I’ll always find it fascinating the level of support she managed to garner among democrats. She spent an entire career gleefully putting away people who look a lot like me and California’s democratic party puts her forth as the anointed one. She should have been dead in the water from the start but the fact she made

Good. the only other downside to this is for some inexplicable reason, mayor fucking pete is still running.
