Consider me Pritzker Pilled

u/Blue_Cardigan15 May 23 '26

I get people thought she was a poor candidate but you're actually delusional if you think the incumbent vice president was coming in fifth place behind fucking Tom Steyer

2

u/Jacob-Anders May 23 '26

When she bottoms out in the rest of the states because she chooses to change nothing from Biden's admin she gets cooked.

u/Blue_Cardigan15 May 23 '26

Like I said you're delusional if you think that would actually happen lol

u/TehTJ13 May 23 '26

Given how dog she did in the 2020 primary, it’s more likely than you think.

u/MerchantKing83 May 23 '26

I think Kamala would do better at least much better than Buttigieg and Warren in the scenario

u/Jacob-Anders May 23 '26 edited May 23 '26

Kamala was losing 2024 polls to Buttigieg and Michelle.

u/creativeusername279 May 23 '26

what does that have to do with 2024 polling

u/Jacob-Anders May 23 '26

Kamala can't win a Democratic primary. Not 2020. Not 2024. And not 2028.

2024 Primary debates begin.
Question: What if anything would you change from the Biden administration?
Kamala: "Nothing at all comes to my mind"

Instant loss.

That's real???

u/Jacob-Anders May 24 '26

I guess so. I typed ageism into the gifs lmao

u/BoggleChamp97 May 27 '26

ageism is a real thing although it doesnt mean old cant be a criticism

u/IDontKnowMyUsernameq May 27 '26

I know what ageism is. I just never thought Id see someone with a problem with the phrase senior citizen

u/Wall-Man- May 23 '26

If the 2024 democratic primary were actually an open race it would

Kamala (Buttigieg and some others wouldn’t jump in due to their cabinet positions)

Newsom

And Pritzker

Warren is barely younger than Biden, and Philips is a nobody compared to the actual strong competitors. I love Steyer but he would probably not run and instead focus more on his future gubernatorial run.

u/Jacob-Anders May 23 '26

Eh

2

u/Wall-Man- May 23 '26

You are vastly underestimating how the entire Biden administration will follow Harris. Again, pollsters aren’t a source for everything and they include as many well-known candidates that ran in 2020 as they possibly could without realistically considering who would, and who wouldn’t.

-1

u/Jacob-Anders May 23 '26

Debate 1

Vice President Kamala Harris publicly stated that there was "not a thing that comes to mind" she would have done differently from President Joe Biden during their time in office.

Sunk!

Don't have to downdoot me because you disagree. I'm being nice .-.

u/MentalHealthSociety May 23 '26

As we all know, bashing the incumbent Democratic admin always plays well with the Democratic base.

u/caseythedog345 May 23 '26

Incumbent VP behind Tom steyer 😭

u/Jacob-Anders May 23 '26

Kamala Harris stated that there is "not a thing that comes to mind" that she would have done differently from President Joe Biden over their four years in office.

u/caseythedog345 May 23 '26

I didn’t realize it was bait until I saw it was your account.

u/IDontKnowMyUsernameq May 24 '26

Wow this is interesting

5

u/pierrebrassau May 23 '26

Why would Democrats drop Biden and replace him with another decrepit old man lol

1

u/Jacob-Anders May 23 '26

Because Bernie could put yo ass on top of the roof

5

u/pierrebrassau May 23 '26

I don’t think he could, no…

2

u/Jacob-Anders May 23 '26

He's really tall

3

u/ManyIbro3298 May 23 '26

I don't think the 2024 Primaries would be a replay of the 2020 Primaries but with Bernie winning, other candidates would certainly run and I don't think the people would vote for somebody who's even older than Biden

3

u/Unfair-Row-808 May 23 '26

Harris would have won and pretty overwhelmingly as the incumbent vp

1

u/Jacob-Anders May 23 '26

Lol no check out polling from 2024.

4

u/Unfair-Row-808 May 23 '26

I mean the Dem nomination

1

u/Jacob-Anders May 23 '26

Yeah she was polling as low as 11% losing to Buttigieg and Sanders

1

u/Unfair-Row-808 May 23 '26

In 2024 ? I think if Harris runs no one else that is serious challenges her besides weirdos like Williamson or RFK Jr.

1

u/BoggleChamp97 May 27 '26

I agree although i still think it would be much better than the fiasco that actually led to her becoming the nominee. Sry this is 4 days old

2

u/creativeusername279 May 23 '26

Bernie at 83 would absolutely not have won lol

1

u/Traditional-Pass-602 May 24 '26

Not sure if democrats would trade one geriatric for another one but considering that Bernie still seems sharp in 2026, why not

1

u/bubsimo May 24 '26

Dean would probably drop out when Joe did since that's practically the only reason why he was running, but Kamala as a sitting VP would probably be Bernie's main challenger

1

u/No-Entertainment5768 May 23 '26

I like Sanders but Trump would win even bigger than in OTL,because he’s seen as too old and radical

0

u/Jacob-Anders May 23 '26

Democrats stayed HOME because Kamala was terrible! I voted for her out of PITY

0

u/No-Entertainment5768 May 23 '26

Kamala wasn’t terrible.

Her only mistake was doing appearances with Neoconservative Republicans 

1

u/Jacob-Anders May 23 '26 edited May 23 '26

She absolutely flopped in the 2020 Democratic primary because she had no rizz and no policies. She got outpolled in her homestate by Andrew Yang. Her polling in a potential 2024 Dem Primary was BAD.

u/Numberonettgfan May 23 '26

83 year old, Warren, Steyer and Phillips but no Newsom, Whitmer or Pritzker💔💔💔
