Sure, let's try the same thing again and hope for different results.

Why would the people who didnt vote for her in the general over Gaza vote for her in the general in 28? They wouldnt... but sure let's try again and expect different results.

at any rate, there r millions who didnt vote for whatever reasons. whoever runs, we need to mobilize THEM.

I'm sure Kamala will fare better than she did in the 2020 debates, but how much better?

I don't have a preference at this point.

There will be new players we don't yet know of and world events we cannot yet foresee.

May the best candidate win.
