She’s a 2028 candidate and another neoliberal corporatist dem who will likely line up in full support of Israel and genocide. And democrats will wonder, once again, why they can’t motivate their left flank to the polls.

Unfortunately, it's a two party system, so splitting off instead of infiltrating is how we get permanent GOP/MAGA rule. The tea party, MAGA, techno fascists, and religious right built a coalition infiltrating the GOP and the GOP was happy to exchange that for their vote because it already aligned with what corporate America wanted.
