Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said policy differences toward Israel between her and President Biden won’t stop her from supporting him in the November general election.

“Of course,” Omar said Tuesday, when asked by CNN’s Abby Phillip on “NewsNight” whether she would vote for Biden if the election were held that day, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “Democracy is on the line, we are facing down fascism.”

“And I personally know what my life felt like having Trump as the president of this country, and I know what it felt like for my constituents, and for people around this country and around the world,” Omar continued. “We have to do everything that we can to make sure that does not happen to our country again.”

    Conveniently skipped over where I asked someone, and anyone can do this, to name the viable leftist challenger in the recent NH primary, that would make holding it worthwhile.

    And really, can name a non-leftist challenger too if you want, if you really think Dean had a real shot or something.

    The degree of personal attacks and cherry-picked arguments in here is remarkable.

      Oh stfu you pedant.

      You are dismissing the structural critique that makes your first point irrelevant.

      There are no viable challengers because the DNC has repeatedly changed the rules or moved the goal posts to prevent that from happening again.

        Ah, more conspiracy theory. Bernie ran just fine. Twice. He’s not even a registered democrat. You got any evidence of the new rule that prevented it from happening this time, or just an anonymous claim on the internet?

              Its your intentional ignorance that’s the problem here bro. You cherry pick which parts of the past you want to acknowledge and which ones you don’t.

              There is no holding still on a moving train.

                Well, the topic was the canceling of the NH primary. So, talking about the NH primary seemed pretty reasonable to me.
