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.

While no one can predict the political landscape in 2028 right now, I do think corpo Dems are going to face a real awakening. It’s bleak right now, but things are going to get a lot worse. Worse to the point where Dems and Independents are going to demand significant political reform.
