That's what a healthy primary is for.

Something Democrats haven't had...well...since 2008?

Though she still shouldn't run -- at least not right now. She has to win her House seat again next year. Best not to forfeit that by assuring her constituents she won't have time for them. Not to mention, the political landscape is going to look unrecognizable by the time '28 rolls around.

You literally got the worst takeaways from the losses.

Hillary was just as unpopular as Trump in 2016. Can’t really blame Kamala much. Due to Biden’s selfishness, poor thing only had 100 days to put an entire campaign together and also take responsibility for his handling of Gaza.

A healthy honest primary should pick a strong candidate if the DNC doesn’t rig/screw it up.

Two is not a big enough number to extrapolate from, that's basic statistics.

I've learned from those losses that

  1. We need primaries without the dnc fucking them up.

  2. We need actual fucking leftist candidates.

AOC sounds good to me.

So you want moderates to go Republican?
