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.

As much as I could care less for her, I do get it. It's gotta be pretty hard knowing how much you're hated by a lot of people, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Oh, there was plenty she could have done about it. She chose to keep supporting the bidenyahu genocide.

I could care so so much more about Kamala...

But I don't see any reason to.

She could absolutely do something about it.

She could retire and drop out of the public eye. That's it, same thing Hillary could have done a decade ago.

If they every stopped writing books, giving interviews, going on TV, and all the other bullshit; the vast majority of Americans would just forget about them in a year or two.

They just can't do that, they can't stay out of the public eye.
