So is she pretending to move left or is El Sayed going to make a pivot to the status quo?
I’d prefer if she stayed away.
everyone would prefer if she stayed away. However the DNC is probably going to push her again as they consider her the ‘safe’ candidate who is not going to upset their donors or push any sort of real change like people want.
I.E. the candidate that will lose, but they can shrug their shouldres and go “but we twied”
I think this is one of those necessary evil type of things.
He’s very vulnerable with centrists, because they suck and don’t think blue no matter who applies to them, apaic is spending on Rogers, and the Democratic Jewish community is fundraising for his Republican opponent.
Like it or not, unity will be important to him if he wants to win and help enact progressive policies.
Plus if he’s talking about black healthcare, to black women, she’s as good as any right now outside of Jocelyn Elders.
Of course of she had any wits about her she’d use this setting to also apologize for her snub of the Muslim community.
Of course the democrats are stupid enough to bring Kamala Harris back into play.
Hey, shes still fresh off fucking up the last election. She still has plenty of get up and go for fucking up this one.
I’m sure we’re not far from them bringing the Clinton’s back as well
I’d take Hillary over Harris any day.
In what context? Both are poisonous to any campaign.
Hiliary has experience in office but is very much a warmonger and happy to attack populations campaigns in Detroit need to attract.
If in terms of being in office she’d fit more in the GOP with what she campaigned on in her presidential runs.
Nah, Hillary is a bad choice because the GOP has been working on anti-hillary messaging since the 90s.
If she got the job, she’d probably be one of the best presidents in US history.
GOP went after her terrible personality no politics. They only hate her because she runs as a democrat not a republican. See trump. Who again started being popular again because of Hilarys birther attacks on Obama
Why?
I’ve never seen Kamala show the level of intelligence, gravitas, or understanding of world events that Hillary has.
I think I honestly replied to the wrong person, because I agree with you 100%.
She’s a statesman with enormous experience and political clout (at least had) with a solid ideological foundation in and conviction of democracy and rule of law. These days that goes a long fucking way. What they did to her is probably only eclipsed to what they did to Monica Lewinsky. They just demonize people relentlessly until they become a persona non grata in anyone’s mind- just look at everyone even in this thread shitting on her, they’ve been swept up in the same propaganda dragnet as the right, they start repeating right wing propaganda talking points yet would be incapable of mentioning a single thing she did politically or any of her propositions.
Is she flawless? Lol no.
Is “flawless” something we expect from leadership? Lol YES!
And if they aren’t flawless, then they are just as bad as the bottom of the barrel, therefore it makes sense to vote for the bottom of the barrel instead.
¯\(ツ)/¯
Please no. I’m convinced if Biden ran he would have won, but America just isn’t ready for a black woman to be president, and as terrible as it sounds, trying to force Hillary and then Kamala is why Trump won. Period. Full stop.
How about actually running a popular candidate? Hillary had all the baggage of the past when voters looked for a change and Kamala barely had 3 months to campaign. I don’t think enough Americans care about what’s dangling between a candidate’s legs as long as they are actually popular across the field.
Biden would have lost all 50 states.
“Please forget about me throwing Gaza under the bus a couple of years ago. It’s a two-party system!”
And, sadly, that’s accurate. It pisses me off that there has been no accountability for this, but she is still head and shoulders above anything smelling like MAGA.
Kamala single handedly invaded Gaza and murdered babies with her bare hands.
Jesus christ MAGA isn’t even the biggest threat to the left, it’s the single issue leftists.
Looking to witewash herself.
Don’t fall for when centrists learn to speak our language as it becomes popular.
El-Sayed needs black women to vote. Kamala is a poor substitute for Obama, but she’ll do folks.
If you only invite your friends to the party, you limit the number of new friends you can make. Sometimes you invite that annoying guy with the hot sister.
Oh, FFS, I hope she doesn’t run again. JFC.
Why would El-Syaed agree to such a thing.
He’s a landlord, dude.
We’ve been calling him a liberal Zionist for a while now, well the you go directly partnering with the genocide committers to absolve them off accountability and normalize “we’re against killing, on both sides” and “two state solution” bullshit.
Hope it brings him down and teaches others a lesson.
Who the fuck is the “we” you speak for in your insane purity test?
It’s always good when people like you out themselves, that you consider opposition to genocide, apartheid, and occupation an “insane purity test”.
Disingenuous. Life’s not that black and white, especially in politics. Someone can be against those things, and still have voted for Kamala because it was the best option available.
You cannot be against genocide and vote for the person saying they will continue it. You’re disingenuous. This was Biden’s genocide and Kamala said there’s not one thing she’d have done different.
"If you don’t agree with every single word I say exactly like I say it you are a right wing extremist and a literal nazi.
Now if you don’t mind I need to inform the mailing list that you and everyone you associate with have been canceled."
Purity testing is when you check if somebody supports settler colonialism, as everyone knows.
And he has openly criticized the genocide, but because he didn’t also do a backflip while doing so apparently he needs to fall so a Republican can take his seat.
This is exactly fucking it. You hear “Gaza genocide real” in the year of 2026 and you immediately start soyfacing because of it. Get a fucking grip.
Has your favourite Dubai landlord made 1 (one) anti-Zionist (not liberal Zionist) statement yet? Or is he too busy collaborating with the main genocidaires while not doing the bare minimum (what you call a “backflip” for fucks sake).
Has your favourite Dubai landlord
I’m just gonna highlight that and walk away with a W.
Roflmao, you deny THAT? 🤣
Edit: For anybody who’s not a cowardly little removed: https://freebeacon.com/democrats/abdul-el-sayed-discloses-rental-property-in-dubai-and-outstanding-debt-to-luxury-developer-behind-resort-style-community/
ah, thanks. Was not aware of this.
I share your sentiment to a degree. However, Kamala remains popular with centrist liberal voters who are still sore she lost the 2024 election. Having her endorse El-Sayed on his campaign trail could entice voters who see him as “extreme.”
At this point, he needs every last vote he can conjure. It’s politics in 2026. Such is the state of a corrupt, two-party, winner-take-all electoral system.
From NBC:
Roxie Richner, a spokesperson for El-Sayed, told NBC News on Wednesday that “Abdul is thrilled to welcome Vice President Harris to Michigan for a conversation about improving Black maternal health and bringing down healthcare costs.”
Richner added: “He looks forward to hearing directly from Black women and healthcare providers and discussing how he’ll continue that work in the Senate. There’s no better choice for Michiganders than Abdul when it comes to making healthcare more affordable, and he’s grateful Vice President Harris will join him in spreading that message.”
Okay, that is actually on brand for him. Glad to see it isn’t because of her foreign policy
She’s going to run in 2028, isn’t she? She’s trying to ride his coattails.
I definitely get what she’s trying to do, she’s trying to make a statement of unity within the party that we have a common enemy in MAGA. However, I don’t think she was right person to do this since most people on the very far left decided they’d rather have Trump as president than to vote for “Holocaust Harris”, so I fear this might backfire about as hard as Hasan directly campaigning with him in the primaries. I want to be wrong though
Holocaust Harris”
OO, I like that, going to use it, thanks.
But they wanted Genocide Trump?
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/15/us/politics/trump-israel-bombs.html
Not a single person who knew what was going on and cared for Palestine voted for Trump. Anybody who did that was a moron who knew nothing and fell for propaganda. Trump was always worse and he declared publicly he wanted to make it worse.
It’s more so most of the people who were heavily pro-palestine (like Professor Dave just as an example) stayed home rather than voting against Trump. Which to me is dumb because Trump was literally pro-genocide on Gaza while Harris was just anti-Hamas. Not saying it singlehandedly made the Democrats lose, but it certainly played a factor.
It also just offends me personally because it tells me that they never actually cared about trans people or health care or the working class or anything really if they’re willing to sit out and allow Trump to win just to have moral infallibility and thus I guess feel superior. The genocide wasn’t stopped by not voting, but I doubt even that matters to them.
Now I’ll admit, I might just be a little perception poisoned on the far left’s position broadly because I used to argue with tankies on here constantly and they kept dogpiling me for saying we should’ve voted for Harris. Sorry for getting a little emotional with this towards the end, but it’s just so frustrating
I think for a lot of them it has little to do with Palestine or any of the other issues but rather to belong to a group cosplaying barricade revolutionaries while doing absolutely nothing meaningful.
A lot of these political grassroot movements have been co-opted by childish narcissists who do way more to hurt the cause than they ever do to further it.
They’re literally there for the performative bullshit, the purity testing, the virtue signalling, the gatekeeping, the outrage and the accusations. They’re not there for the politics, they are there for the drama and feeling of self importance. They pretend to have radical principles so that they can point at anyone and say- “as long as you are not as extreme in your views as I am in mine, you are in favor of the things I am against”.
They didn’t vote for Trump, but many also didn’t vote for Harris.
You don’t care about Palestine if you only talk about it when Trump is involved
“It is up to me to decide whether you care about Palestine.”
LOL ok?
Also, fucking creepy as fuck.
Creepy that Iexposed you as someone with who hate that people talk about Gaza and Israeli terrorism. Creepy that I exposed your antisemetism conflating iarael with Jews as an ethno religious group
Oh shit you outed me as someone who disagrees with your narcissistic fanaticism! Oy vey!
Nah. I read this as desperately trying to latch on to someone that’s actually popular hoping some of it will bounce off onto her. Fuck her.
However, I don’t think she was right person to do this since most people on the very far left decided they’d rather have Trump as president than to vote for “Holocaust Harris”,
The very far left and, you know, all those Arabs whose families she wanted to murder.
Damn, I can’t believe the right never brought that up. It should have been national news when she advocated to personally murder arabs herself
Not really, this is America we’re talking about. When was the last year your country wasn’t murdering Arabs?
Well she is pro Israel so
Proving the Horseshoe theory then, great.
🤮
Ooh. This is probably not a good idea. She’s toxic as fuck.
Can you explain what you mean by that? Toxic? How?
Most progressives see her as something of an opportunistic, establishment puppet. She was chosen to be Biden’s VP, in order to pander to the black / Latino vote, and specifically because she lacked the moral core to oppose the establishment in any meaningful way.
Her presence may be viewed as the DNC either trying to co-opt El-Sayed’s campaign and steer it towards the establishment’s goals…or that it was all astroturf from the beginning, and shouldn’t be trusted.
Huh, good answer. I get what you’re saying.
