Gavin is the establishment view of what a good Democrat should be now. Gavin will do whatever the polls tell him to do, he doesn't seem to have much integrity himself. Now, the people want someone to stand up so he will safely do so.

Kamala is just old news. No one really wants her to run again. She lost already. Get over it and move on.

She went on a show and already said she had no plans on running. Idk why they are even talking about it.

Looking back, you might be right, but I also take from what she said. She said the system is broken and doesn't want to go back into it. So I'm taking it "for now" as she doesn't plan to run again. Like I said. For now.

"The System is Broken" because it didn't hand her the free win she felt entitled to on a silver platter after no primaries and the entire force of the democratic party behind her?
