In reply to the discussion: Democrats don't blame Harris. In fact, many want her back in 2028. [View all]democrattotheend
(12,011 posts)She did the best she could with a bad hand, and the party should be grateful to her for stepping up the way she did and jumping onto a sinking ship to try to save it.
But I also don't think I want her to run again in 2028. At a minimum, she has work to do in terms of answering questions and discussing policy in more depth and being more comfortable speaking off the cuff. JD Vance is going to be harder to debate than Trump, and we need a candidate who can do long interviews with alternative media and what not to get out of the bubble. I'm not saying she can't get there, but she has work to do over the next 4 years.
Even if she does that, we may be better off nominating someone new unless Biden gets a major retroactive approval bump and the political climate is such that her positions in 2019 won't hurt her so much.
I feel bad saying this, because I feel like she got screwed and part of me feels she deserves another shot.
