Sadly, no. The only possible way she could have deserved a second chance is if she were to do something I don't know of any politician ever truly doing: return to her early career stances across the board to become a representative of the youth.
Time and again, we see children and young people not just ignored but attacked for trying to have a voice in their own futures. Kamala Harris began her legal career prosecuting child sexual abuse cases.
In 2026, we need to remove the criminal-in-chief from power and put him along with his genocidal administration in prison where they belong. This is something that needs to happen NOW, not in two years. In 2026, the only possible place for Trump and his regime is the Hague to be put on trial for war crimes.
Kamala should have led that charge. She needed to align with Greta Thunberg and other key leaders of the Sunrise Movement. She needed to lead the investigation and prosecution on behalf of the abused now-adults from the Epstein Files. She NEEDED to break with AIPAC and cut ties with the leaders of the Palestinian genocide. She needed to align with the international criminal court to prepare for regime change in the US.
This is the only way she could have remained even remotely relevant and the only way she could have rescued her candidacy for president.
I think it is too late for her. I'm looking at the remarkable attorney general of New York State and wondering: will she be able to step in and lead? Will Francesca be able to lead? Will AOC continue her disappointing tack to the center? Who will lead and remain strong and not waver?
