This is good news. Let’s hope it gives her a boost.

She is the most anti-car candidate.

    1. Bernie Sanders could be classified as a liberal zionist. He is a bad guy now?

    2. This election isn’t about Ukraine, Taiwan or the Middle East. It’s about improving Los Angeles.

    3. Her opponent Karen Bass is even more pro-Israel than her. You want the most pro-Israel candidate to win…?

      I don’t understand argument (1) here. She said Israel is an ethnostate and that it’s bad for it to be that? Also has Sanders not also been critical of sending arms to Israel? Like what’s the argument?

      1. Yes. He’s a piece of fucking shit. He should face trial for what he aided in in the following months of October 7th.

      2. I know. You don’t give a fuck about what your country does to innocent foreigners at your benefit. You’d vote in Adolf Hitler himself as long as he gave you first worlders the treats that you want.

      3. The false dichotomy is crazy. How about not running any pro-Israel candidates shithead? Have you ever thought about that? Maybe run an anti-Zionist candidate and have the DSA support that person instead?

        They literally can’t, it’s a closed general following an open general primary

            Basically some places (notably french presidential elections) have 2 round elections. Round one is a regular first past the post election, except the two candidates with the most votes go to the second round, where they are the only two legal candidates.

            The idea is to reduce vote splitting. California uses that system, but they call it “open primaries”.
