    In all likelihood, yes, she will lose.

    But she should still run for the same reasons Bernie ran. Change the discourse and prevent unfettered ratcheting of the Overton window; force Democrats to respond to her challenge.

    If she doesn’t run, we all lose. Winning isn’t quite everything.

      If the dems lose in 2028, assuming there is an election, the fascists will consolidate power and the U.S. will be a dictatorship for 40 years.
