Kamala Harris says she is not done with politics and strongly suggested that she is considering another bid for president in a new interview.

In an interview scheduled to air on the BBC on Sunday morning, Harris says that she would “possibly” be the next president, making the clearest suggestion to date that she will make another run for the White House in 2028 despite lagging far behind in the polls.

Harris insisted that she had not yet made a decision, but that she was confident that there will eventually be a woman in the White House and her political career is not over.

The DNC got wind that AOC might run. They were like “fuck that we need to get ready to shut that shit down.” So Harris must have been nudged to make a statement.

Remember: the democratic establishment wants someone slightly more electable than Hilary and equally unlikely to make any meaningful progressive changes.

While the republicans want to actively wreck society, the democrats want to just go back to the un-newsworthy background grift where the news can get back to reporting on cloned sheep and panda swaps.

Why would they want someone electable? Then they'd have to govern i.e. make people mad by breaking all their campaign promises. It's far better to lose and then collect donations from people scared about the fascist power grab.
