    A vice president isn’t going to publicly break with the sitting president

    Been saying this before the election. These comments are wild.

      Why not?

      I mean, I know she wouldn’t. But seriously, think about it, why not? People wanted her to, so why not? People don’t want milquetoast policy changes that improve such and such by 2%, they want a hero, so why not? People don’t want palestinians to die, so why not?

      She was either: an awful candidate because she wouldn’t promise anything, or, an awful candidate because she couldn’t promise anything.

      And yeah, I wanted her to win, but the problems that fucked the last election up still plague the party. If they don’t learn, we’re all going straight to Trump’s gulag.

      Joe Biden publicly broke with Obama when Obama drew a line in the sand on Israel using American weapons in a genocide

      Biden publicly and repeatedly told anyone who would listen that Obama was wrong and the only way to work with Israel is giving them everything they ask for…

      Are you saying that hurt his chances later when he was handed the presidential nomination after a literal 40 years of losing primaries?

      It seems like it’s not about going against the president, it’s about going against neoli eral policy…

      It’s because of the frustration surrounding the elections, and it will take a while for everything to calm down, although Kamala could run for president again if she doesn’t opt ​​for the California governorship.
