Kamala Harris to decide whether to run for California governor by end of summer
Former Vice President Kamala Harris will decide whether she will run for governor of California by the end of summer, a person familiar with her decision-making process said.
You're viewing a single thread.
californian here. i hope she portrays being more progressive than she did in her presidential campaign. she seems very politically conservative for wanting the governorship here.
I mean, your current governor just invited Charlie Kirk on his podcast to bash trans people together, and I haven't read that he's going to be forced out of office in disgrace, so...
I mean he already can't run again because of term limits, so nobody needs to force him out of office.
Oh cool, so in your last term you can just do whatever you want and it's all good?
I literally did not say that.
Do you think "force out of office" means passively wait until the next election where you then defeat them at the ballot box?
No, but then what does it mean? You literally can't remove him until his term ends.
What? Do you base your "literally" statements on just gut feelings?
There are multiple ways a governor of California can be removed from office. There was literally already a recall election against this governor, there's also impeachment, and good old fashion pressure to resign from the public and leadership.

With 61% voting no. I mean,
The recall petition focused on a variety of grievances, on issues such as sanctuary policies, homelessness, high taxes, and water rationing.
-Wikipedia. This was a conservative effort to remove Newsom because he was too "woke", and the fact you used it as supporting evidence makes your whole argument questionable.
there's also impeachment,
Needs the Democrat-dominated state legislature to cooperate, and saying one bad thing about trans women in sports once just isn't enough of a Bad Thing for that.
and good old fashion pressure to resign from the public and leadership.
See above. Good luck getting the normies engaged.
So to reiterate my point: As long as he doesn't do something disastrously corrupt or incompetent, there's literally nothing you can do to remove him from office before his term ends.
So I'll take that all as a yes, because for some reason instead of saying "oh, yeah, I guess people could be trying to force him out" you've pivoted from "it's literally impossible" to "bad people tried it and even taking about it is suspicious" and "it probably wouldn't succeed".
Which is the whole point. "Progressive" California isn't even attempting to (let alone likely to succeed at) remove their governor for promoting an alt-right activist and attacking trans people, so "too conservative for California" is a pretty high bar.
She's always seemed very politically flexible to me.
That's not a good thing. What America needs is strong leaders with convictions, not more suits.
In retrospect yes, my comment could be seen as a positive. That wasn't my intent.
As long as you're the one paying her you can make her say whatever you want.
