55. It all depends who else runs in the primary

Sun Jun 8, 2025, 06:50 PM

Sunday

We don’t even know what the state of the country will be in November 2028. We can only hope that Trump has gone to that great golf course in the sky by then where the water hazards and sand traps are completely unavoidable and the Devil takes a very dim view of cheating.

If Harris wins the primary I will of course vote for her in the general election. No guarantee the Walz will be her running mate again though. He may even run against her in the primary. Also, do we know that Harris is not going to run for Governor of California? She would automatically be the favourite I think.

How about Whitmer/Buttigieg benpollard Sunday #1

I like Harris a lot, but sadly I don't think a woman has a chance of winning Ocelot II Sunday #2

Women make up a majority of the country. SSJVegeta Sunday #6

Yes it was. Scrivener7 Sunday #11

A *lot* of women voted for Trump. A majority of White women voted for him. Ocelot II Sunday #14

Racism was a major issue in 2008 and 2012 too. But it didnt cost Obama the elections SSJVegeta Sunday #59

Many women, especially in the South, are not "comfortable voting for a woman for president" Iris Sunday #58

I think Biden did a lot of damage to the party AZProgressive Sunday #36

It's not that either Clinton or Harris were unpopular; they weren't unpopular with Democrats. Ocelot II Sunday #38

I think it would be more difficult to win a primary--same as Bernie Sanders AZProgressive Sunday #40

I might go for Walz at the top of the ticket RandomNumbers Sunday #3

I think one thing that could have helped Harris is if Biden would have assigned her karynnj Sunday #9

I would strongly consider that... Walz is WONDERFUL!! InAbLuEsTaTe Sunday #24

Sometimes i wonder... Beartracks Sunday #35

Like it or not, we will not win if a woman is atop the ticket. This backwards country will not elect a female president. LonePirate Sunday #4

Women make up a majority ofbthe country and a woman won the popular vote in 2016. SSJVegeta Sunday #7

Yes it was. Scrivener7 Sunday #13

Not even a little bit. SSJVegeta Sunday #15

You must be a man. Women *know* misogyny when we see it Ocelot II Sunday #16

Just because misogny exists, doesnt mean that a fascist was elected solely because of it. SSJVegeta Sunday #19

Clearly. Scrivener7 Sunday #20

And what do you say about all of the women who failed to vote for Harris, and/or voted for Trump SSJVegeta Sunday #21

No. Many didn't vote for her because she's a woman. Others didn't vote for her because she's black. Scrivener7 Sunday #22

If sexism was the reason, Clinton wouldnt have won the popular vote. If racsm was the reason, Obama would never SSJVegeta Sunday #27

Nope. Run a middle aged, white, protestant, straight man and we'll win. Without Scrivener7 Sunday #28

I guarantee Harris and Clinton would have lost if they were men. SSJVegeta Sunday #37

That's nice. But it's ridiculous to say you guarantee such a thing. Have a lovely evening. Scrivener7 Sunday #52

A losing message is a loser irregardless of the messenger. SSJVegeta Sunday #57

Oh, hell no Polybius Sunday #12

Adlai Stevenson was a great man. But your point is heard and well received. SSJVegeta Sunday #42

It might be unprecedented but the combination of Harris/Walz, with sufficient time to campaign, would be a powerful one InAbLuEsTaTe Sunday #45

I'll decide which candidates are best for the job Torchlight Sunday #17

I'm for whoever can win. We cannot afford to lose again. kerry-is-my-prez Sunday #23

it's not a great poll--99% of us would support it if it were the ticket cadoman Yesterday #61

No. The poll is asking if thats what we want. Not whether we would support it. SSJVegeta 19 hrs ago #63

the poll states "Harris Walz 2028?" cadoman 17 hrs ago #64

As the poll author, that was not my intention SSJVegeta 17 hrs ago #66

did not realize I was duking it out with the poll author cadoman 15 hrs ago #68

Not a problem at all! Next time I make a poll, I will definitely be more careful with the wording :) SSJVegeta 9 hrs ago #69
