      Sure they will be. They’ll look at the poll results, throw them in the garbage, and run Newsom like they were already planning to

        They’re gonna have a harder time painting all progressives as sexists and racists when we’re going apeshit over AOC. I like her even more than Sanders.

      The DNC is currently up shit creek. Many other major Democratic organizations are out fundraising them by a wide margin. Many “true blue” Democrats are pissed as hell at DNC leadership and how utterly spineless and opaque they’re being. I don’t think we’re going into this next election cycle with a DNC that’s powerful enough to thumb the scales in that way

      They’re going to love having a fresh face to attract people to the party, donate lots of time and money, and stick around to get scolded with “Vote Blue No Matter Who” when progressives are rug pulled in Iowa and New Hampshire.

        “Vote Blue No Matter Who”

        I thought this was over after the DNC ran a spoiler candidate in the NYC mayoral race.

        She does have a chance. Progressives are actually winning primaries now. People are sick of choosing between psycho magats and backstabbing “moderates”
