South Carolina huh? I wonder if she's going to target the eastern sunbelt for 2020. Not sure if that's viable yet but NC/GA/FL have to flip at some point to balance out MI/WI.

That was bad. I can't believe Lizzie had a better launch video than Kamala.
If that's the best her team could come up with . . . ouch. 😬
The color scheme on her logo is pretty good, at least - way better than the generic red, white, and blue we usually get.
Democrats will probably all run on Hilary's platform of "at least I'm not Trump" and get butchered in the election. Anybody who thinks Dems will run on real progressive platform is going to be disappointed.
At least Hillary 2016 made a competent announcement video. The 2020 candidates so far are coming in at a, well, Hillary 2008 announcement level.
This is nonsense. We ran on a progressive platform in 2018. As did Hillary in 2016.
Unless your idea of "real progressive" is Bernie/DSA only but that would make no sense.
Hillary ran on a progressive platform...
Pretty sure all of the major candidates this go-around are too.
This is probably a more short term decision. If Harris can lock down the West Coast and carry black voters in the South she's already most of the way to the nomination.
That video was an announcement of an announcement.
Do you have any examples of Democratic candidates who have announced on a platform of "at least I'm not Trump?"
Primary season is no longer a fantasy. We're here. We're in it now, and there are candidates.

I feel like having a splashy candidacy announcement is like having a big E3 reveal. No one but the really invested will remember a year from now, and 1/4 of the candidates will be vaporware anyway.
Everyone right now is focusing on minimizing skeletons and releasing coherent messaging on the shutdown.

She's gonna have to answer a lot of shit about her time as AG/DA but she's probably the best in so far.
Dear god if I have to see "SHE'S A COP" being the dismissive line for her though one more time.
I wanted Eric Garcetti to run, but he still has a lot of work to do in LA. It won't be a good look for him to run for president when LA teachers are on strike and a councilor is being investigated for corruption by the FBI.
The smart move for him is to play the long game. Wait for Harris and/or Feinstein to vacate the Senate in two years or so and get nominated to replace them by Newsom.

Brace yourself, you will hear it all year and next.
She should confront it and use this campaign to highlight the ills of said system, since she has seen and used it. If not, then it will be a constant problem.
I dont get the impression anyone shouting that could even tell you one single thing she did as AG lol.
Has to be done well and carefully. I recognize you have to win the primary first, but you know if Harris wins Trump will cherry-pick a couple people who got "lenient sentencing" and then committed violent crimes after serving their prison sentences.
The bucket actually contains Lawnmower Kid's blood for the Orange Buffoon's youth injections.
Isn't she planning on returning to the bench this week?
What was even the context of this error?
All the stress of negotiating with Pelosi...
has left the president looking a little pail
Lawnmower Kid is too young to run for President, have to wait until he becomes Lawnmower Man.
Not bad. Certainly better than her previous online presence.
I never realized she does the Bill Clinton thumb/fist thing when she speaks.
I assume it's some focus tested thing because a ton of politicians do it
I don't yet know who will get my vote in the primary, but I'm thinking it'll be one of the women - Klobuchar, Harris, Gillibrand, or Warren. Still over a year away from having to make that decision.
I have given serious thought to just writing in Kerry though, as long as I'm not too upset by one of the front runners.

Just heard Bill Kristol on tv predict that the turtles play with the show vote this week is that he knows it'll fail and that he can then go to Trump and say "we tried it your way and it didn't work. Let's vote on the clean CR from December."
I guess that makes sense but I think Trump is so stubborn that he may still dig his heels in.

I woke up this morning to NPR saying that Dianne Feinstein was running for president. I thought to myself, "Wow, really? This really is going to be the Democrats' version of the Republican 2016 primary."
Subsequent talk made the actual situation very clear.

I'm not sure, but it makes as much sense as anything else.
I was quite confused when I saw Turtle was going to bring that to a vote, I seriously doubt it will get 50 votes.
