I don’t get why people are saying, “no” in here. Let her run, we will get to check out all the options and decide in primaries. I don’t see anything wrong with that.
Nope. This is a good example of the DNC always pushing who they want and that’s my point. If it’s not Harris it will be someone else. People need to vote in the primaries.
We’re also seeing a shift in who people vote for and voter turnout (see NY and TX).
I’m not from the US but I can see how her running would also end up hindering any other more progressive candidates by dividing the voter pool, due to the crappy FPTP system the US has in place

Because the DNC will try to fuck over any potential progressives with her if she runs
Won’t they try and do that with any candidate of their choice? Maybe we should just, I don’t know, vote on it?
I guess you forgot what happened to Bernie.

This is, unequivocally, the real answer.
Ultimately the DNC is the arbiter of candidates and they’re never going to allow a candidate that rocks the status quo.
