Y'all are awesome, but I have a question as to why doesn't Kamala come back as the "resistance" leader? She knows the law and even though she didn't win, maybe this could be an opportunity for people to get to know how competent she is. She gives great speeches and now when she does interviews she can just be her. Just an idea.

I'm not sure Kamala could take the lead without an official title of some kind. Would it make sense for her to chair the DNC for the next two to four years?

Dems need to do a full primary like they should have done in '23 but someone didn't understand it was his time to head off into the sunset and enjoy a solid legacy. Instead, we get Trump Part Deaux.

Between Shapiro, Whitmer, Beshear, Moore etc. there's enough good candidates with solid governing experience - something I think will be appreciated after another four years of Trump. If Kamala decides she wants to try again and wins the primary, I'm on board, but I don't think the odds are good that she'd win. I expect the last few months took a toll. She ran a decent campaign. Made some mistakes, but it was a tough spot for her to be put in. As governor of California, she would improve her odds of winning and would be able to set herself with a seat at the table in terms of influence.

In retrospect this is correct however it probably would have made very little difference in the outcome of this election. In every developed country worldwide there were a 110 elections. In every single one of them the voters kicked out the party in power. DidnтАЩt matter if they were left, center, right, ultra right, authoritarian, male, female, old, and young. Inflation is a party killer.

Not a bad idea. But I think that Dems want to move on after losing and will be looking for a new messenger.

I think Gavin Newsom will run for WH in 2028 and she'll run for CA Gov.

I think it needs to be someone with actual power, like a governor. Gavin Newsome is already setting himself up for that but IтАЩd prefer someone else.

Much, much, much prefer someone else.
