I think she's smart enough to know she cannot win in the presidential general, but then people can change and the ego takes over.

Nate's gotta publish stuff to get clicks these days and feed the algo, I stopped paying any attention.

Conventional wisdom says she's too extreme to win a general election, but there are a lot of far-left who sit out the general election. Republican moderates are happy to vote for a far-right candidate. Democratic centrists may well vote for a far-left one.

Republicans will present any candidate as a socialist extremist anyway. They can't vote against her any harder than the voted against Biden. (They only lost 2020 because of a literal ongoing pandemic being wildly mis-managed. Democrats will likely not get that opportunity again.)

I am one of those "centrist" Democrats who doesn't particularly want the far-left wing to control the party. But I'd vote for that in a heartbeat over continued dominance by the alliance of theocrats and billionaire-worshippers.


We elected Trump a second time, don't underestimate the pervasiveness and persuasiveness of FoxNews.

By a landslide, well outside the radius of influence Fox News enjoys. Swing voters feather their own nests, first.

I'm not sure how ~120k votes in three states is a land slide... oh FakeNews is how

My point however was about the how FoxNews washed away the illegal deeds and disgusting Epstein encounters so average people even considered him
