She really shouldn’t, though. In our FPTP system without ranked-choice voting, that unfortunately means that instead of her or the candidate AIPAC corruptly funneled in millions to boot her out, a Republican could take the position instead, and we really can’t afford that in the House this race.
Yeah, losing Cori Bush sucked. She singlehandedly forced Biden to extend the eviction moratorium, just because of her own life experience.
Can’t she run as an independent?
She should.

Fuck that. A Democrat that votes against democratic policies; another Joe Manchin or Kirsten Sinema is worth less than the dirt on my boots.
And if that means running as an independent to beat a democrat, so be it. I’m not here to support a team.
I think she should absolutely run as an independent. AIPAC candidates are basically fascists.
