    Maybe they should let the people decide the candidate instead of a “coronation“ because it’s “her turn” or selecting the candidate because you didn’t have time for a primary. I swear if they pick Kamala again they might as well just dissolve the Democratic Party. I’m tired of this not actually listening to what the people are begging for and selecting these boring milquetoast candidates who won’t tell the billionaires or Israel to fuck right off. Find a candidate who will address things like housing, inflation, green energy, privacy, corruption, etc and you’ll win elections.

      Given the history of the last decade and a half, any prediction for the future is likely to be very wrong, but I think we may be at a very interesting moment where Israel undermines Trump’s efforts to surrender to Iran, and as a result Trump might actually take steps to distance himself from Israel.

      The dems could find themselves with not only their preexisting fealty to AIPAC driving them but now a need to take the opposing position as Republicans. If Republicans find themselves for once on the right side of this issue, at a time when Americans are waking up to it, it could be a political disaster for dems.

      I think it’s far fetched as it would just as likely splinter the R party, but it remains a critical example of Dems being out of touch.
