43. It would definitely be a mistake, if she continues to speak with the "caution"
Sun Feb 22, 2026, 10:18 PM
Yesterday

that she did during the latter portion of her short 2024 campaign---
she started well with her propositions about housing subsidies for first-time buyers,
but went weak after that-------

if she was willing to 'take the gloves off'---
the 'white gloves', if I may be so bold as to say so, as a white man---
and the 'corporate gloves' if I may be so bold to say so as a Democratic economic populist---

then, in the coming 2028 campaign, she might become so big with voter turnout
that she could overcome racism and sexism to become the first female President!!!!

(possible campaign slogans: "I told you so" and
"time to give women a chance, since men have FUCKED EVERYTHING UP so badly already"!
or possibly some shorter and cleaner alternative!)

((Throw 'caution' COMPLETELY 'to the wind', and choose AOC as her running mate!!--
or Pete--- just so there's "a man on the ticket"! ))


Newsom has proven that the Democratic base, and even crucial independent voters,
are starving for resistance against the GQP-magat-Trump fascism!!!!

Kamala has the name recognition to get her immediate attention if she speaks---
but I want to see some righteous ANGER from her--- and FORGET the 'Obama model' of
'not appearing to be an angry black male'---

I think there are now a lot of 'angry black women'---
and furthermore, there are a lot of 'angry white males'----!!!!

The moment calls for boldness, and leadership, and political courage
(with the winds at your back!)

If she comes through at this moment, I would quite possibly support her
for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination!---

but I am waiting to see it!
