Democrats don't blame Harris. In fact, many want her back in 2028.

60. While, to me, she's officially now my best President we never had

I don't think that's happening. Unfortunately, to most people, she's just that woman who lost to Trump 2. That's a hard stigma to overcome. While most of that was baked-in from the get go, and there was only so much she could do in the short amount of time, explaining that can come across as excuse-making.

Also, a lot of establishment centrists never liked her and want her to go away (Some got behind her this year just to let her have "her turn" and be done because it was always a longshot) and leftists have never been keen on her, despite her progressive record. So, I can't really see the coalition she'd build to win the 2028 primaries (yeah yeah "if the election happens.&quot

She'd probably poll well in early hypothetical 2028 polling, due to name recognition, but that could easily evaporate once things get serious.

And, of course, there's the ongoing blight of any time a woman of color has any success, it's labelled as "woke, DEI tokenism" but I don't know if the correct response to that is to start denying anyone who isn't a white man opportunities out of fear - I feel like that's just enabling the problem.

I really hope she has something to offer and isn't just told to go away, like Hillary was, or ends up retreating into the private sector.
