Kamala Harris has said that she currently has no desire to re-enter “the system” of American politics because it is “broken”.

On Thursday night the Democratic party’s defeated presidential nominee, who replaced Joe Biden late in the 2024 campaign after he dropped his re-election bid, gave her first interview since losing the election to Donald Trump, talking to Stephen Colbert on The Late Show.

After she announced she will not run for the governorship of California just a day earlier, Harris told the TV show that it was about something more “basic” than whether she wanted to run for something else instead – with the subtext being whether she will attempt a White House run again in 2028.

Until the party changes, the party hasn't changed.

As if there is a clear bright line and any progress before crossing that line is meaningless.

Oh cool. We're gonna talk about how great incrementalism is.

For people who like the status quo. When the party quits ratfucking progressives, I'll entertain the notion that it's not complete dogshit all the time on purpose.

I know. The party isn't going to stop ratfucking progressives because the party isn't going to change.
