“The former vice president always has a major advantage so it’s definitely possible that we progressives might not have a real shot at the presidency for many years,” said an ex-senior aide to Sanders. “I think our power is going to have to come from building movements.”
“We are in the middle of the biggest protest movement in American history, which is protesting exactly the same kind of policies that, at the time, Attorney General Harris oversaw, had direct authority to change, and declined to change in meaningful ways,” said Briahna Joy Gray, Sanders' former national press secretary, referring to Harris’ time as the lead prosecutor in California. “I would like a candidate who offers big, structural change.
A top 2020 aide to Sanders said the Vermont senator personally gets along with Harris, and the two introduced a proposal together in May to send $2,000 monthly checks to millions of Americans during the Covid-19 pandemic. Harris has also teamed up with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on a climate change bill.
Maybe they should start their own party.
Ya, you bozos just keep telling yourselves that.
🤮
VoteGreen2020
You mean *another decade.
Harris: Doesn't win a single delegate in 2020. Libs: Shes the one
This must mean tech companies will have removed all tulsi clips by then
I wonder how many times your pathetic weasels you call 'journalists' said this kind of thing about the Squad's primary challengers? How did that go, again? They all got re-elected in landslides. We can't trust you to make accurate predictions weeks in advance, much less years.
Reporters describe her as the frontrunner and then reporters report that she is being described as the frontrunner. No unpaid word writer is saying this.
Propaganda rag.🥀☠️
We won't live that long, you out-of-touch, contented-class ghouls.
The honeymoon ends a lot sooner than you’d think these days... wait a couple years. People will be sick of her and Biden when they realize Trump was a symptom not the disease.
“Progressives” is just another way of saying “Centrist Democrats”. What the Democrats don’t understand is we on the left are going to burn their party to the ground. There will be a viable 3rd party in 2024 and 2028...the Democrats can either join us or they will be “locked out”.
Thanks for the confirmation that I shouldn’t vote for Biden!!!
Nah. Fuck that. AOC needs to wreck her entire career path with glee!
Trump wins, we hit rock bottom, civic engagement / activism record highs, leaders finally feel pressure for once creating political WILL, needle moves. Prog in 2024. Joemala wins, most of the country goes back to brunch and the working class is put on 'mute' for 12 years.
Slow tf down.
fuck no
Not if she loses in November.
stevebait They don’t care about us. I’m not voting this year.
All the more reason to VoteGreen2020
Already described as the frontrunner after placing 7th in Iowa
Rankled? Am I playing my grandma at cribbage and she's losing? I'm fucking incensed. We have ~10 years to save our collective asses, keep from going over the climate cliff, and we're offered Biden/Harris corporate bootlickers who won't do shit. Rankled, hell. It's do or die time.
This is precisely why Trump is the lesser evil compared to Biden in this election. Trump only gets 4 more years if he wins - if Biden wins he’ll be starting a whole new neoliberal fucking era.
I guess the Democrats finally realized it's just much easier to tell people who they voted for, what they stand for, and then herd them into the voting booth than it is to continue the charade of people having a choice. Of course that particular illusion died a long time ago.
They said that last time
The next open Democratic Primary will be in 2024. Even if Biden is still alive and healthy enough for a second term, that racist authoritarian (or his shitlib successor) is getting primaried. Anyone who thinks any progressives are going to support the DNC in 2024 is delusional.
They never vote anyway, so who gives a crap.
What if she loses and trump wins?
From trailing behind Andrew Yang IN HER OWN STATE and dropping out before a single primary vote was cast...to FRONTRUNNER?!!!
How did she do in her last primary lmao
🤨 lol KamalaHarris never polled over 15% in the primary and alienates the left, yet DNC has already anointed her as the standard bearer for decades to come? 100% the most DNCWarRoom thing I’ve ever heard 😂
This is the same level of arrogance that made Hillary Clinton lose to Donald fucking Trump.
difficult to decipher the terms in this article. centrist, moderate, whatever. biden/harris is a middle finger to the grassroots and the protest movement
What? The Democrat party has an open primary? I thought that was canceled.
😂this is a person who dropped out the presidential race be she could not get more than 2% of the vote
This makes me want to vote even less
Well, considering she didn't even make it to Iowa in this last primary, I'd say progressives have a strong opening in 2024.
Lmao she dropped out of the primary so she wouldn’t appear on the ballot in california if she wasn’t the VP she would have been primaried and lost in California and not even still have a job
We should definitely primary Biden or Harris after we beat Trump.
Oh wow, I guess the leftists were entirely correct about this
Don’t threaten me with a terrible time
Win first! C'mon or we have another Hillary moment
we don’t need the keys, we’ll break in
LMAO, Politico thinks there will be a 2024 election
She's not going to win THIS time, so I dunno what you're talking about.🤷♂️
NeverBiden
Not voting for the mass incarceration ticket.
Biden doesn’t stand a chance in this election 😂😂
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! God I laughed to hard at this
Whisful thinking. Progressive will spend the next 4 years cleansing local governments from third way tools. We ll see how that works out for the 3rd way. The mistake of progressive was to not do this before. Lesson learned. They fucked around and now everyone is going to run.
Progressives have a choice, be inside the WH looking out with some influence or outside the WH for a lot longer, watching the GOP lay waste to anything even resembling anything good for the people.
President Biden’s VP Kamala Harris ranks fourth for the most progressive member of the Senate. This just evidences how the Democrat party has taken such a hard turn towards liberal progressive ideology and why we must make sure President Trump is reelected.
Guys 2020 isn’t even over. Are you implying Trump’s going to win again?
These people will never have my vote
They're correct, which is why all leftists should vote for the leftist ticket: HawkinsWalker (GreenParty/Socialist Party). GreenParty2020 VoteGreen2020 VoteGreen NeverBidenNeverTrump NeverBidenHarris NoJoe NeverBiden NeverKamala NeverHarris
Lmfao
Tulsi, Ayanna, AOC, Yang, literally anyone would be better
More neoliberals capitulating to capital can fascism yayyyy! I wonder how long the country is gonna last going through these disastrous boom bust cycles..
No. She’s not going to win in 2024. It’s Nina Turner, AOC, or Andrew Yang in 2024!
And this is why I'm leaving the party 4aPeoplesParty
She hasn’t even won a national election yet
Stop trying to cause trouble politico.
She didn’t win ONE state, and barely placed in her own. Now she’s somehow a “frontrunner?” Mega donors aren’t even pretending we have a choice anymore.
THIS IS WHY THE LEFT NEEDS TO JOIN THE NEWLY CREATED 4aPeoplesParty
That sucks. Neither JoeBiden neither KamalaHarris have earned my vote. THey could start by promising Medicare for All. If they fail to do this, there is no point.
the DNC is joke , nothing more than a thin veil to get the suckers to vote for corporate policies
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 FUCK THE POLICE!
And this is why I won't vote for them. Nothing but two-faced republicans in blue.
So in other words, if you’re a progressive you’d have to be an utter fool to vote for this Dem ticket. You’re destroying the chances of electing a progressive in 2024. Noted 👍
You'd think someone who got fewer delegates than Tulsi Gabbard and had to drop out early before she got embarrassed by a fifth place finish in her home state wouldn't be a frontrunner in anything but then manufacture that consent
The words 'open' and 'Democratic primary' should never be used together in any description of reality.
Stop it. Nobody is ‘rankled’
Not news to us
And yet we're supposed to be okay with this because she's not Trump.
Al the more reason for the left to divorce the right-wing Democrat Party and form a 4aPeoplesParty
she got zero delegates in the primary and already the frontrunner because the party decided it is so. ready to get out yet
Umm, I believe the phrase is “Boo Freaking Hoo!” The Republicans say that if DC and Puerto Rico ever got statehood, they’d never win the Senate again; my response was the same: “That sounds like a you problem, not an us problem.”
DNC has already been locking progressives out of the primaries while having cigars with cajoling corporate establishment millionaires in that back room.
Remember when she had to drop out before Iowa because absolutely no one likes her?
The Dems don't select their candidates with primaries. The DNC makes that decision.
Please stop. We just have to get the dictator out and then we can concentrate on other issues.
She and I got the same number of Delegates in the DNC Presidential run this year. 🤔 Am I ALSO a front-runner for 2024 and/or 2028?
I don't know who wants to convince me of shit without evidence more: cons saying she's radical without evidence, or the left repeating over and over mlhow moderate she is without any policy analysis.
Maybe, that's why us lefties should fight for Congress.
Can we please get through the 2020 election before picking a candidate for 4 or 8 years down the road. Eyes on the prize: REMOVE TRUMP NOW. Everything else is noise.
At less than 6% in the recent primary vs. a joke of a field this is pure BS.
I’m old enough to remember when she received 3% of votes in the primary this year. What’s changed?
Yep nope.
So Politico likes to stir shit up when there should be no reason to?
You didn't ask this progressive. So, for the record, I don't agree with this assessment
Grow up and work on getting your people into the positions that will help you. Don’t make enemies!!!
It’s a step in the right direction. Radical change doesn’t happen overnight. It’s critical to get Trump and his dumpster fire administration OUT of office, first and foremost. It won’t happen unless everyone votes. Staying home and pouting isn’t going to help anything.
That’s ridiculous.
Ya know y'all said that about Biden and he failed miserably until Obama decided to clear the entire board AND prop him up so you pulling that again? You're just gonna ADMIT you're doing that again Jfc
Progressives is a historical term but not understood due to the lack of proper instruction in U.S. history. The old progressive party of W J Bryan like the old socialist party of E Debs are now the Dem party. Add Warren, Rice, O'rourke et al you have a totalitarian socialist WH.
She didn’t win a single delegate this year, shouldn’t even be on the ticket.
Trump 2020
Trump 2020
Trump 2020
I won't vote for her.
They can be on the team if they stop being so partisian and judgey.
People spoke like this about Palin ... 😂🤣😂
⚠️Cant We Just Focus On Getting Her In The White House⁉️ The most Hateful Klan of tRumpians doing Everything Possible to Suppress Votes, Sabotage Our USPS, Smear Biden as hateful racist Who Won’t Be On The Ticket Come November (Whistle Blowing Death Threat⁉️) PLZ STAY FOCUSED🙏💙
Nothing like a white Beltway hack trolling the potential further denial of Black socioeconomic justice under yet another president of color!
It’s as if Biden doesn’t exist
Probably no
RANKLED
And no party deserves it more for their Failed and Failing Pandemic response that has cost 165,000 lives, and sickened 5,000,000 with even more in harms way. This party is a hazard to America in so many ways.
She got absolutely skewered in the debate by TulsiPress and dropped out polling 2% more than a month before Iowa. She got picked because she is a black woman without values, and will say and do whatever is needed to get elected.
She got DESTROYED in this year's primary, ain't happening.
she's never won one state. she couldn't win california.
This is the 1 reason I will never vote for Biden. A decade or more of neoliberal environmental policy means the mass death of millions of innocent human beings, mostly in the poorest countries on earth.
optimistic to think there will be a democratic primary in 2024
Y’all tried this in the primary too 😂
Meaning the corporate Democrats are already planning to rig it for her.
Hence why Biden is in trouble in November
Won’t really matter if they take over Congress. Or if we're all under water.
Ah yes, the media doings its job for the DNC and putting a centrist spin on Kamala in the face of all the Crazy everyone sees across the country every night. Good job, Politico. Your overlords will continue to let you exist... for now.
I call BS on this! Progressives will not be divided! We stand with KamalaHarris. We have her back! BidenKamala2020
She was a “top tier” candidate this time. She sank pretty quickly after briefly rising to the top. Guess Dems didn’t like her once they got to know her.
Isn’t this a bit...premature?
How do they define 'progressive' these days? Honest question.
There’s absolutely no time for this fight right now. Right now Dems need the WH, Senate & keeping the House or the US goes full fascist.
Be honest. It’s Kamala 2020. Biden is incapacitated.
Progressives not content with Harris' incredibly progressive legislative career is such a shift of the Overton Window. I just refuse to accept it.
Remember when she was described as the frontrunner for 2020. Wild.
Biden a lame duck... even before election day.
That's a good thing, because most people in this country won't vote for the extreme Left. Progressives won't get crossover votes from the Right. I'd rather have the Progressives kept out of the White House than the Democrats.
The lie politico is trying to subliminally program you to think is that Harris, with the most liberal voting record in the senate according to review site “GovTrack”, isn’t a liberal who will help the left keep burning down cities.
Wtf? She got blown out of the primaries, really trounced. The only thing that's changed is Biden shot his mouth off and got stuck with a pack of mediocre candidates. It wouldn't surprise me if they flipped a coin.
NARRATOR: “It’s 2024.”
What happened to 2020?
Kamala Harris did worse in this last Democratic primary than Andrew Yang, Deval Patrick, John Delaney, Michael Bennett, and Tom Steyer, all of whom received a total of zero delegates combined.
Until people are reminded how horrible she is.
Biden is like a co-signer for someone with bad credit.
Beaten in the Primary level campaign elections by Tulsi Gabbard.
Harris/Trump.
Let’s worry about the here and now. If Trump stays in office there will be no country for the progressives to worry about. VoteBidenHarris2020
cool
NeverBiden NeverKamala
No one voted for her last time after TulsiPress ended her campaign on the debate stage
It would be racist not to run her until she wins. Otherwise a woman of color may never make it to the White House!!
This is curious given how poorly she did in the 2020 primary
riiiight... I heard that in 2019 primaries 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻🤣
Wait, didn't she run for president this year, and not even make it to the first primary?
Left wing and African Americans are upset by this pick.
Progressives will never be in the WH.
By whom?
November 4th is going to be lit. Even better than 2016. secupp donlemon head will explode.
People should stop planning and start taking care of business. Their own business.
Not true cause Obama was the last for the Democrats for the white house that it.
Why? She just ran for President and couldn’t win, in fact dropped out early. So, not sure what happened other than Liberal propaganda.
Stop this BS Politico - already trying to seed conflict ahead of November?
Ha! I'm pretty sure it will be longer than that before progressives win the White House, Kamala or no Kamala.
Speculating now is meaningless. The Dem Governors who showed grit and determination during the COVID crisis while dealing with a hostile government will be strong competitors. The Red Southern Governors, who have FU royally, has not had a bullseye on their backs.
propublica
Absolutely sickened I have to chose her over Trump
Locked out of the White House let's hope so She will kill us
U HAVE TO BE KIDDONG ME
Don’t believe it
Our American Angela Merkel!
Stop. Just stop
Wrong again keep hoping
What a false flag statement. She’s there, waaaaaay Left of the American mainstream.
You should wait more than a day to make stupid posts like this one. She didn't even make the 1st primary!
blakehounshell Kamala isn’t African American, she is a sleezy socialist & her dads family owned slaves. But democrats have sainted her BUT THAT WOBT HELP YOU ALL!
2024? Very optimistic
They mean 2020
Perhaps 'Progressives' should form their own party.
Let’s just worry about this year for now. We can’t even predict what is going to happen tomorrow much less 4 or 8 or 12 years from now.
It would be a huge mistake of hubris to look that far ahead without beating Trump. Hubris got Hillary nothing.
This is a meaningless story
Omfg, seriously, I consider myself extremely liberal. Those so-called progressives need to stop trying to impede progress, just bc it's not going the way they want. It's still progress.
Karmala was at 5% when she dumped out of the primary. Have things really changed that much in six months? No, no they haven't
She is considered one of the most Liberal candidates per her voting records. But if they want her to go after BILLIONAIRES, they will be sadly disappointed because billionaires bankroll her campaigns. Think Jeff Bezos kind of money. No progressive will EVER touch that.
There had to be a reason why all the shit brains of the left didn't support her.
😂😂😂 Die mad
Is anyone really surprised?
They are all progressives
I'll bet that when everything is secured and back to normal, Biden will stop at one term. He does not need to prove nothing. Then, Kamala here we go!. So I guess 12 years is fine. (let's save this tweet to brag about it in 2024 jipittelli )
Then they are uninformed idiots. Harris’ senate voting record is more progressive than Warren or Sanders.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
STOP FUCKING TALKING ABOUT 2024 ALFUKNREADY.
Blocked and reported.
Yeah, right
Trump is a two bit con man who should join the circus.
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves
Now is the time to rally around the Biden/Kamala ticket & GOTV. There is plenty of time if they get elected to pursue others. First things first.
How about they best trump first.
Jorgensen4POTUS is more progressive than Democrats will ever be, and she’s running this year. Why wait? VoteGold2020
Oh shut up, Harris is progressive to everyone but the most ridiculous Berniebots.
Not if her opponent is TulsiGabbard
shellylensing1 They couldn't get elected dog-catcher in a national election any time soon
This is proof positive that people don’t have their eye on the prize...Trump must be defeated and the Dems must effectively lead all Americans out of this ditch before we can think about 2024.
Already the massive misogyny of our country rears it's ugly head! FOH!
The most progressive policies in American history came from Lyndon Johnson & FDR, neither exactly liberal lions. The goal of progressives should be to push for federal elected Dems to adopt more progressive policies and also to run for local and state offices. Do the hard work.
Really, Politico Give it a rest.
Stop this.
Democratic Party do not listen to these Russian instigators or bots or whatever. Stay strong, stay focused, stay true blue. Stay BidenHarris2020 ! We can do this together, stay strong and fight every day for BidenHarris2020Landslide
Already the party is dividing itself. Get it together. Everyone will be 'locked out' of everything forever if the GOP wins this election. GET. IT. TOGETHER.
This is whiny BS! The Progressives have a great deal of time to provide Ms. Harris with perspective, after all these are two sides of the same coin.
:rollseyes: Here we go again with the 'Dems in disarray' stories. Biden has already pulled in coalitions of ideas across the party. After 4 years you can retro how 'Progressive' his policies are. Predicting failure now is just being defeatist.
shellylensing1 Left-wingtip progressives (THIS IS a decently progressive pairing in Biden and Harris) have at LEAST that long before they can win a national election. We are a CENTER-LEFT country
No chance. Biden won't last 1 year as President. Harris will be the incumbent in 2024, and lose.
Of all the media hot takes vying for a unique angle on Biden’s VP selection, this is amongst the most lame.
Stop this nonsense.
Kamala will be about as well liked as Hillary LOL
Here’s an idea, press people. Let’s cover this election first before we start fantasizing about 2024 or 2028. OK?
She would be a far left progressive in 2008 terms.. My God what do they want..
In a decade they’ll no longer be progressives wanting free stuff after they build up their wealth through hard work.
Progressivism happens as a congress of people, not the figurehead. Good thing our government has just that—Congress—to tie leadership to that path. Voting matters.
