General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Kamala [View all]pinkstarburst
(2,045 posts)I am personally not sold on the idea that we can only have a white christian straight male on the ticket. I think this limits our choices to a small slate of blah candidates that the country and the party is frankly not the least bit excited about. I am not excited about having to choose between Andy Beshear and some other white dude just because they happen to check a few boxes we think right voting candidates who weren't going to vote for us in the first place might like.
I am voting for Pete Buttigieg if he's running. He's the smartest guy in the room by a mile.
With that said, I think Kamala Harris running again is a huge mistake for this reason: the country has already had a chance to weigh in on her in the general. The country said NO. We can be upset about this. We can say it isn't fair. We can say the country is racist and misogynistic (and we would be right) and name a host of other reasons why it happened. But the point is, we need to turn the page.
Running the same person that already failed in the general election and has never successfully run before is a huge mistake. By that logic, we should run Hillary again. Or Al Gore.
