    Sadly the people at the top of the party are those receiving the shady money. I don’t see a path to fix corruption by voting for the people most benefiting from corruption. It is a catch22.

    There wasn’t even a real Democratic primary this time around. Just the establishment appointing Harris and telling everyone to get aboard.

      I think you’re even being too short-sighted on that because that’s what they did with Biden.

      Harris was a succession problem that they created by not giving Biden a proper primary to begin with.

        Not at all. Harris is as much of a corporate ghoul as Biden.

        In her very first foreign policy vote in January 2017, for instance, Harris sided with President Trump in criticizing the outgoing President Obama’s refusal to veto an otherwise-unanimous, very modest, and largely symbolic UN Security Council resolution on Israeli settlements. Among other things, that resolution reiterated previous Security Council calls for Israel to stop expanding its illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, which violate the Fourth Geneva Convention and a landmark ruling by the International Court of Justice.
