Current Events > Colbert Interviews Kamala. She says the system is broken

(+) Yeah! (+)

That has been my career and recently I made the decision that I, just for now, I dont want to go back in the system. I think its broken, Harris said in an interview with CBS The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

I always believed that, as fragile as our democracy is, our systems would be strong enough to defend our most fundamental principles, and I think right now, that theyre not as strong as they need to be, Harris added.

For now, I dont want to go back into the system. I want to travel the country. I want to listen to people. I want to talk with people. And I dont want it to be transactional where Im asking for their vote.

Hmm wonder when she'll want to go back.

I want to travel the country. I want to listen to people. I want to talk with people. And I dont want it to be transactional where Im asking for their vote.

America could have had the smart black woman. But alas, she was black and a woman.

weird post

I mean she's not wrong but there's something immensely pathetic about "The system is broken and the people are in serious trouble as democracy falls.... So I'm gonna bounce, fuck y'all I quit. I may be wealthy and powerful and have immense infulence but I'm nto gonna fight any of this, I'm gonna bum around the country on vacation and have a blast."

Yeah it's very human but at the same time pretty cowardly. All the tens of millions of people being fucked over by Trump don't have that luxury, they need you and you're gonna go get a mojito on a beach and claim you're doing it for the common man?

Imagine being on a plane and going "Yeah the engine is fucked and I'm one of the best pilots here, but I'm gonna go to the bar and fuck around because I got a parachute."

Because she was qualified for the job, at least moreso than the other candidates at the time.

That used to matter once.

you want her to claw bitterly to stay in the limelight so Trump can blame every bad thing that exists on her and his base goes EXACTLY!!!

?

Yes.

I want Trump and MAGA and Republicans to be exposed and challenged and fought every step of the way instead of everyone bending over.

I want Americans to be opposed to this bullshit and not submissive BDSM simps licking their dom's feet as they get beaten.

Dude is ripping up the constitution, revoking citizenship, built concentration camps, destroyed the Department of Education, destroyed Medicaid, ended near all of America's soft power, wrecked the economy and we're only a few months in.

I want America to stop supporting this and the only people with power and infulence are all rolling over and barking or running away to their castles.

Republicans have all the power because people decided to be stupid and not hold them accountable for the things they do.

What's she supposed to do, exactly? The country said they didn't want her as President. She holds no power whatsoever.

I think people just want her to be in the media all the time so they can keep blaming things on her.

You're not wrong, but your solution is to hold them even less accountable and not resist at all?

My response is the complete opposite. Let's hold them accountable and resist everything.

Let's be like EA and challenge everything. Make every Republican victory so awkward and hardfought that it's as bitter and painful as defeat

America already told her to fuck off. She wears sneakers and laughs too much. And she claimed to be Black. And Indian. Which one is it, derp.

You think she would be treated any better if she ran for office again? And even if she won, she would be railroaded by R's until the end of her term, getting little done. Nah, I have to imagine losing to a racist, rapist, lying and cheating scumbag like 47 has disillusioned her on the American people and politics so much that she needs time to reconnect. She's still rich, famous and powerful so the best things she can do now politically are endorsements and speeches.

You're being intellectually dishonest.

I'm not saying Republicans will start treating her better. I'm saying Trump should be opposed at all times by everyone.

All the powerful influentional people bending the knee or cowardly running away "Becasue you're not obligated to oppose tyranny, the tyrants will say mean things about you." absolutely sucks.

Harris can do more to help tens of millions of people in the next year then everyone who has ever posted on Gamefaqs in their entire lives combined and doubled.

And she's choosing not to because she will never suffer consequences the people with no power will.

It sucks. Hell the fact you're aggressively arguing against opposing Trump and MAGA instead of calling for opposition to it, demonstrate how it sucks.

Even Yajirobe pitched in to beat Vegeta man.

what the actual fuck

if she was in the media you would be screaming "FUCK OFF KAMALA"

just like you all did with hillary

there are more posts whining about kamala having a book

than there are people talking about trump ending birthright citizenship

Because a lot of sheltered, know-it-all liberals thought there would be no consequence to shaming an old white man until he was forced to drop out of the race. They forgot that racism is still a prevalent factor in peoples' thinking because they fail to understand the society we live in. It's not always about picking the "best" (in terms of personal ability/competence) candidate.

Harris has every right to be bitter at a stupid society that forced her into a losing battle.

How am I wrong?

1. what do you want her to do
2. how do you know she isn't doing it?

Biden was going to lose even worse then she did. Biden was successfully seen as a moron, old, on deaths door. Biden should have no fucking run for a second term. Americans hated Biden with an seething passion.

Maybe the crowd you hung around hated Biden for petty BS reasons, but that wasn't the majority of America, or at least they did not hate Biden more than Trump. Hostile people in our camp fucked things up for Biden ever since Israel/Palestine became a hot-button issue again in 2023.
