She'll never survive a primary.
Acting like the DNC will have a fair primary. They’re going to shove Harris, Newsome, or some other center-right Dem down our throat.
They're not center right anymore. We have far right and farther right.
theyll lose the election if so
Since when has that been a concern for them???
Yeah most likely. They can’t just be “not Trump” because he’s hopefully going to be dead. Also, that hasn’t really translated to success. Trump only lost 2020 because of COVID.
I don't know if they "Bernie" her opponent then she might.
I mean they can try. They pulled out every stop in NYC and couldn't stop a people powered campaign.
Whoever the progressive is going to be needs to announce, and soon. Mamdani started the day after the 24 election. I truly believe that if the DnC primary in 2016 had been a month longer, wes have had Bernie. Grass roots campaigns take longer.
I dunno. They're pretty disorganized but their donors are less so. I think they're going to lose it for us again, or if they win, will prevent any leftwards movement.
I wonder how bad this has to get before real change happens.
There won’t be a primary
