    The fact that there’s even a whiff of Kamala running again is great evidence that we are so fucked and will continue to be so fucked.

      To be fair, Hillary Clinton floated running again in 2020 and she never even launched that campaign. I don’t think there’s much intent behind this. I suppose it makes these former candidates feel special, or satiates some craving for attention :P

        The US has a 2-party system. Period. Until we change things in a constitutional convention, or a revolt of some kind, that won’t change.

        There should be a constitutional convention every 50 years. The laws from 200+ years ago are somewhat stale and very susceptible to manipulation.

          I’ve also thought a constitutional convention might be the only way to fix things.

          But also, I think there’s no way, practically speaking, that the right wing doesn’t use that opportunity better than the left wing, to simply give us a new fascist constitution.
