    It was exceedingly obvious 2024 was a populist election, and she let Trump take that mantle and run with it. Bernie would have mopped the floor with these corporatists. This is why Mamdani is ascendant.

      Talarico’s messaging would probably be perfect for this. Progressive message packaged in religious dogma.

      However, given the control billionaires have over media and the what they see, I can’t confidently say anyone could win in that uneven playing-field.

      Literally anyone. ANY average person should’ve been able to beat the monster that is Trump. That we couldn’t isn’t proof Harris sucked (in fairness, she was pretty poor); it’s proof the rich wield all the megaphones.
