(1,935 posts)Even if we decide we are unafraid of nominating women, LGBTQ, POC, and non-Christians (which I think we SHOULD be, as I hate the idea of limiting our voting options as much as we are), I think we need to be careful about being so enthusiastic about a nominee in the primary who resonates with democrats while ignoring how they may do in the general.
Harris already ran in 2024 and lost. Voters got their chance to weigh in and they said no. We would be very foolish to run Harris again, just like we would be very foolish to run Hillary Clinton again, or any other candidate who has run and lost in a presidential election. It would be a huge gamble to try to force voters to accept Harris (or Clinton) when they clearly didn't want to vote for them the first time around. We need to turn the page and go with a different candidate.
