I don't know if they "Bernie" her opponent then she might.
I mean they can try. They pulled out every stop in NYC and couldn't stop a people powered campaign.
Whoever the progressive is going to be needs to announce, and soon. Mamdani started the day after the 24 election. I truly believe that if the DnC primary in 2016 had been a month longer, wes have had Bernie. Grass roots campaigns take longer.
I dunno. They're pretty disorganized but their donors are less so. I think they're going to lose it for us again, or if they win, will prevent any leftwards movement.
I wonder how bad this has to get before real change happens.
