Kamala Harris, is she the right one?

@MistyCee It is early , there already are a few contenders with more to come out soon.

@BAS233 I'm going to wait and see how all the democrats handle themselves and where they end up on policy, not to mention keeping an eye on the remote possibility of a Republican challenging Trump in the primary.

@CopperCicada Yeah, that was ill-advised. My father and grandfather belonged to the Knights of Peter Claver, but Pop is still pro-choice.

@jackson55 Progressive.

@jackson55 Oh noez!

@AndrewtheAlu No, alas. We’re at a point where some people are trying to reinvent those things as positive: “nationalism”, “traditional values”. For a time there was kind of an agreement that giving someone a chance based upon their ideas was part of a democratic society. But, led by folks like Trump, giving people of color or women the lead is framed as “an attack on white, Christian men”. It will be difficult to recover from that narrative.

@bijouxbroussard possibly, but remember Trump didn’t win the popular vote, and there were a lot of people who didn’t vote. There must be some case for optimism right?

@AndrewtheAlu I truly hope so, and the midterms were very positive in that regard. The best possible scenario is that the people who were really upset by Trump will put their anger where their ballots are and tell their friends. Friends and family drove people who needed rides to the polls last November.
