She's ridiculous. Never won a primary. Because she almost certainly could not have, if she had been subjected to one in the most recent election.
All the Dems had to do was produce/nominate a viable, moderate candidate. They are too inept to do that. They still have not fired their leadership. One wonders what level of failure would be required for them to finally do that.
Thats the thing, moderates in an extreme system are still unpopular because they represent more pain for the people they're asking to vote for them. Free healthcare is the most popular position among anyone who might vote dem, yet its not moderate. So is cutting off Israel, defunding ICE, and taxing billionaires.
