Friday showed 25 percent of Democratic primary voters saying they would support Newsom as the nominee, a jump from the 12 percent he received in a similar poll conducted in June.

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg received support from 16 percent of respondents, consistent with what he received in June, while former Vice President Harris’s support slid from 13 percent in the June poll to 11 percent in Friday’s poll.

    AIPAC has a stranglehold on most of the reps. Frankly, I find it fucking disgusting these reps have sold their country out so cheaply and easily. And without any compunction apparently.

    There is no organized effort to resist (from a place of power) and this will be our failure. The people currently have no position to mount any effective resistance.

      this will be our failure.

      It’ll be one cause of failure, but certainly not the only one. Nothing is preventing The People™ from creating their own resistance organization from scratch; hell there are likely plenty of preexisting leftist organizations that would gladly get hijacked for such a purpose. The fact that so many people are still unwilling to give up on the Democratic Party or consider effective forms of resistance is a much bigger problem.
