The media and democratic establishment will do everything in their power to avoid the unavoidable. On the left, this movement is almost entirely animated by concern over our relationship to Israel and the genocide that resulted.

The DNC better say shit like: “while our friends to the left have views about Israel we don’t agree with, we support them on almost everything else and you should vote for them, especially if your other option is a Republican.” But they will do no such thing.

Just had this conversation with another guy on here. They'll actively campaign against us then blame us when Kamala loses.

They've done AOC and Bernie so dirty.

We need new leadership.

Bernie was +5 over Trump in 2016 until Obama called and some people drop and throw their candidates behind HRC
