    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

    That’s how it works with presidential elections and others where the party nominees are the ones with the most support.

    AIPAC buying the primary notwithstanding, she would be by far the best known and most popular candidate to run and being cheated by a genocide apologia factory and their handpicked empty shell candidate is an excellent additional narrative to run on in addition to her stellar work in Congress.

      If she couldn’t win the primary, how can she win the general? Not like AIPAC will just stop influencing the election.

        People were caught off guard. It’s extremely liked that most of the people swayed by the smears AIPAC paid for didn’t know that the deceptively named United Democracy Project was actually hidden foreign election meddling.

        It’s much more likely that people know now and I don’t know about you, but I’d be pissed off if I was them.
