    …and she’s going to try to run in 28?

    She’ll have better chances running as a republican at this point.

    Kamala is and has always been a shit tier candidate.

    Can we finally admit that her entire campaign amounted to gaslighting people into thinking she’s remotely leftist?

    Politicians need to learn to not comment.

    Kamala wasn’t involved in national politics at the same time as cheney. When cheney was last in office, Kamala was the district attorney of SF, an local office that only deals with the laws of California. No plausible working relationship between the two. They were not even interacting with the same laws. They worked in entirely different levels of government. There is no need for any statement.

    Regardless of politics, any statement like this will sound disingenuous. If she knows Lynne, Liz, Mary, and the entire family well enough to have them in her thoughts, she could tell them directly. Calling someone to wish them the best in a hard time is a commendable act. Making a public statement telling other people that you care about someone else is just weird.

    I remember when sending condolences when one of your political opponents died was viewed as graceful and even expected. Now it’s a weakness? Or is it that the black woman needs to be criticized for everything she does?

    Stuff like this reminds me why they lose to fascists. When they like to say the proto-fascists are practicing politics correctly it really waters down their message and what is at stake.

    It should be normal to pay tribute to the dead, even if you didn’t agree with them when they were alive. If we stop doing that, we all loose.

    I think that was well crafted.

    • No mention of “good” or any other positive in connection with his work.
    • mentioned dedication to his work, which is the minimum you can say without insults
    • “thoughts” without the “prayers”, that is a really nice slapp :D

    I’m sure there is more in there that i missed, but this is basically a “good riddance, finally” in terms that can be understood as polite.

    Yeah, we’re definitely better off with her not being president. Much happier with what we got instead.
