What is your top reason why you would NOT vote for Kamala Harris in the 2028 U.S. Presidential Election?

 @9V48NBL  from California  disagreed…2yrs2Y

She claims to be for working families but back tracks every time she is challenged by powerful interests. She used to be for Medicare for All. Then she got challenged by the power brokers in the Democratic Party. Now she never talks about Medicare for All. If she is really and truly interested in working families, she would focus on actual healthcare reform including taking on Big Pharma and Insurance. What about minimum wage? She doesn't seem to care that nobody can live off of $7.25 an hour. Housing policy includes protecting renters from gentrification and displacement. Where is that in all her grandiose plans about making housing "affordable"?

 @9ZRQWL8 from Oregon  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I would vote for Buttigieg because it feels like Harris had her chance in 2024. Buttigieg on the debate stage in 2020, he was probably the best debater out there but I still felt like he was unqualified because he was only a mayor but now he has 4 years of leading a big department under his belt. he is veteran and came from a middle class family. He is also young and comes from a new generation that has seen things differently than our 45, 46 and 47th presidents.

 @2LPGMBHLibertarianfrom District of Columbia  agreed…3wks3W

Buttigieg is polished, has integrity and intelligence. I think he's a bit moderate, a bit liberal, but I think he would lead well. AOC would be a terrific VP pick to bring along the base.

 @9H2BMBMPatriot from California  disagreed…3yrs3Y

lmao yea right, who in their right mind would support her

 @B7X6SL9 from Maryland  disagreed…8mos8MO

She uses her ethnicity and gender to gain brownie points from her political party and voters instead of her qualification for the job .

 @B6WB8R4  from Utah  disagreed…10mos10MO

Well, while I supported most of her policies in 2024, and I respect her personally, she is not the person to lead America into the future, or help the nation recover during this time of great domestic and international turmoil and disaster. We need a new, fresh, bold, balanced, intelligent, and charismatic figure to lead the Democratic Party and the United States, and Harris is simply not that person.

  @BDQ5MG8 from Kentucky  commented…4wks4W

I don't think she knows the people good enough to match against other democratic candidates

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”

Israeli Bombings Kill 2,300 In Lebanon in 3 weeks

Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.The Israeli military has ordered people living in more than a quarter of Lebanon to flee, according to a UN calculation, as its fight with the Iran-backed Shia militant group Hizbollah threatens to engulf the Mediterranean country.Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.More than 1mn people have fled their homes in Lebanon in under a month, according to its government, a dramatic forced movement of the population in a country of only about 5mn inhabitants with a land mass smaller than the US state of Connecticut. Israeli forces began a ground offensive in south Lebanon two weeks ago, in their fourth invasion of the country in under five decades. They had already destroyed large parts of the densely populated southern Beirut suburb where Hizbollah had its headquarters, and killed many top militant commanders in air strikes, including former leader Hassan Nasrallah.Rema Jamous Imseis, Middle East director of UNHCR, told journalists in Geneva that “over 25 per cent of [Lebanon is] under a direct Israeli military evacuation order”. “People are heeding these calls to evacuate and they’re fleeing with almost nothing,” she added, saying that 80 per cent of the shelters opened by the Lebanese government — mostly in schools — were now full.
