Harris reaches out to Mamdani and pro‑Palestinian activists ahead of 2028
The question I would like to see a Harris 2028 campaign answer is "What does Kamala Harris believe?"
for real the thing for me is even throwing any and all morals of my own out the window, what harris claims to believe never holds still, evaporates in a moment. it goes unremarked now but the way she immediately backtracked on her haymaker on biden on bussing laid this out pretty bluntly.
I think it's going to be a real challenge because this will be the third time she's run for president... and presumably, it'll be the third somewhat wildly different platform that she's run on. I'm always for politicians improving their positions, but she's just so all over the place.
Seriously if I see a headline like this I don't think oh she's doing the right thing I think oh she doesn't stand for literally anything
between her patent insincerity and utter lack of what the kids call "rizz" she has no chance in '28 - there's a piece in "current affairs" that talks about her 2024 run and how it paralleled her 2020 primary run: the more voters saw of her, the less they liked. whatever "it" is, she ain't got any.
"I deserve to be in charge."
The thing you have to understand about Harris is that she’s a San Fransisco machine politician. Beliefs for such people are flexible.
One thing I keep saying to blue MAGA types who keep freaking out about Mamdani and trying to undermine him or deny the groundswell of support is … how do you deal with the fact that Obama and Harris obviously understand that his approach and vision represent the future? www.axios.com/2026/07/01/h...
One reason I really like @vanhollen.senate.gov is that he supported Mamdani right away, well before other prominent Democrats.
dems need to accept all sides of party to stay united to defeat gop trump nazis. i have been a mainstream dem my whole life. i am moving towards the progressive end but i understand we need every dem together. division only helps the enemy. we do need new leaders. hakeem and schumer need to go
If she wants to try again and she is able to build a good alliance with Mamdani Democrats, I guess she deserves another shot. I'd prefer Chris Murphy though.
My mayor is great! But he’s pretty much a mainstream Democrat, with the exception of supporting Israel, and even that’s becoming the mainstream. This pearl clutching over “socialists” in a country where FDR, LBJ, Nixon (!!!) Obama and Biden, all advanced the social safety net, is silly
Hasan Piker voted for Kamala Harris. I understand the point you’re trying to make here, but Hasan Piker did, in fact, vote for Kamala Harris. And, given that he’s endorsed people to the right of AOC this year, he will almost certainly loudly support AOC in 2028.
Citation on him voting for Kamala Harris (he also filled out his ballot on stream IIRC).
Harris is to blame for Harris' loss. She started with more favorable ratings than when she finished. It was a bad campaign; like trying to woo republicans with Lynn Cheney instead of motivating democratic voters. People need to vote for something, not just against something.
also hasan isn't in charge of dsa. he holds no position there. look to what actual leaders in dsa do and say. what actual positions they hold. where the membership vote is etc.
I dont understand why people can't understand the difference between criticizing a candidate and actively discouraging people from voting for that candidate. Harris had a lot to he criticized for, but I still voted for her. We can't do what conservatives do and treat our politicians as untouchable
Kamala Harris 2028 has “humiliated and out before Super Tuesday” written all over it man
nobody gave a fuck about her in 2020 and increased national exposure didn’t help over the following four years. the main thing people associate her with is eating shit even worse than Hillary did. she has no constituency
Is she even running in 2028 or are you just getting mad for no reason?
It'll be worth it if it's as funny as her 2020 campaign
Zero chance she's the nominee
Re, harris reaching out to mamdani— as bad as a politician as she is, even she isn't so dense as to not notice every single challenger beating incumbents in congress is pro palestine and anti zionist also, she was one of the very few national dems to endorse him www.npr.org/2025/09/24/n...
yeah i am not happy about this exchange, but not at all surprised. he’s the most popular politician in america and (to her credit) she endorsed him. how it will play out is unclear, but (to his credit) mamdani changed the us electoral politics of palestine forever bsky.app/profile/alis...
She has no principles, but she’s an excellent opportunist. She blew it in the last election, and she’s not going to do that again.
She is a climber is my take - she's trying to curry favor with socialists because of her political ambitions.
