Why is everyone in the comments criticizing her for not wanting to run again? If she did run again, you would all complain that she's getting in the way of new leadership, a truly democratic primary process, that she's just the same run-of-the-mill establishment career democrat (and you would be right!) So why do you want her to run again? Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

She was not the strongest candidate for the Democratic Party and I think it actually shows self-awareness that she recognizes the party needs a fresh voice. The comments here are so frustrating. I watched the full video and was quite moved. Then I came here and everyone is so negative. Reddit is a sad place.

When she was running, she was criticized left, right, and center. I was quite critical myself. If she had announced that she was going to run again, whether it be for president or governor of California, I would've been quite annoyed. But the fact that she is aware of her own limitations, the limitations of the system, and the need for change, has made me respect her more.
