    I’m honestly not a big fan of her and would have preferred to see someone more progressive get the nomination, but I honestly had the same feeling as you now that we actually have a chance at defeating Trump.

      If you want progressive candidates you gotta do community organization and outreach. Personally I’d much rather do praxis under Harris than Trump.

          Doesn’t matter when the DNC leadership puts their thumbs on the scale to prevent them from gaining any traction by doing things like excluding them from debates, giving funding to one candidate over another, or feeding stories favorable to their candidate to the media.

          What we need is ranked choice voting so that we can kick both the DNC and RNC to the curb and form parties that aren’t run by protectionist, out of touch millionaires/billionaires.

            Can’t get ranked choice with the current parties and third parties aren’t creeping up in the polls to displace them. It’s why Bernie ran in the Democratic primary. And we have more elected progressive Democrats now than we did because of it. It’s a long game and it needs to grow from the bottom up to get electoral reform.
