    Isn’t there overwhelming polling saying he is likely to win? Harris hitches herself to whoever is likely to win. That is her entire career.

      Alternately, her endorsement is another way the Democratic establishment is trying to make him lose. 😉

        How? The on the fence centrist democrats that Zorhan needs to win would be very liked to switch their support form Cumo of they knew some major establisment figures supported him.

          The joke is that Harris is bad at winning elections, so anyone who associates with her also loses.

          On a side note, strangely enough, with Trump this is a global effect; anyone who associates themselves with Trump too much will lose their election. It happened in Australia and Canada.

      Cynical posturing, same as hochul, but hochul’s endorsement actually meams something as governor.

      We should not talk about kamala or biden or anyone that forced them or hillary on us unless is to demand their ousters.

        i find hochul kinda of 2 faced, she was publically against him from the start, only changing once she realized she could be replaced in the next election.

          Oh totally she is cynical and chosen by the establishment to oversee the plutocratic takeover, r or d means little, she opposes a new deal and frankly is the enemy All the D establishment is the enemy, there is no getting rid of r fascists with this controlled opposition.

          Mamdami is a good start, we need different flavours if populists to challenge everywhere. Moderates are not the safe choice, reformers are.
