>> A shame Bush couldn't break away from them and be more independent.
Yes, indeed that is a shame and it shows her biggest weakness: an inability to THINK FOR HERSELF!
She never stopped to analyze or make thoughtful considerations of the needs of her constituents or even of the nation. Instead, she let OTHERS do the "thinking" for her.
She knew that she owed her entire political existence to Justice Democrats and she let them lead her around on their leash. She did their bidding with no consideration to what a joke she had become, or how ridiculous she looked.
Has she given her concession speech yet? I'll be interested in hearing it. I'm sure it will be everything that I expect: no grace, but instead filled with anger, blame-placing, conspiracy-seeding. --- I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

Cori Bush said she didn't know whether Hamas is a terrorist group. That's disqualifying.

Dead civilians is a feature of Sinwar's plan, and Cori Bush was unwilling to label Hamas "terrorists".
