Karishma Manzur faces AIPAC-backed Chris Pappas in the New Hampshire Democratic primary. Pappas – backed by Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton – now trails the Republican in the polls.
This race is a useful reminder that endorsements are not the same thing as votes. Pappas has the famous names, institutional support, and fundraising network; Manzur is testing whether an outsider can turn dissatisfaction with the Democratic establishment into an actual electorate. We’ll know Tuesday which argument New Hampshire Democrats found more persuasive. Until then, the polling is messy enough that declaring either narrative inevitable seems premature.
The Democratic establishment is really out to lunch on where they are putting their support. It's certainly not where the voters are. If Pappas wins this will cost the Democrats.
My goodness. Leaving aside the Kamilla and Hillary lost their president races surely their endorsement is a Stain after watching their foreign policy attitudes
Hillary in particular is a pro-Iraq Kissinger fan and a realtime genocide denier. Like...that combination of beliefs shows that someone's going straight to hell and is also dumb as a box of rocks.
I have been bombarded with email solicitations for donations from the Pappas campaign. And when I block them, I get inundated with solicitations for Pappas from Pete Buttigieg and Adam Schiff, the latter of whom received more money from AIPAC than any other senator, even more than Schumer. We should ask ourselves why Pappas needs our financial support when he seems to have unlimited backing from AIPAC. Anyone who still has lingering doubts about Kamala Harris’ allegiances when it comes to genocide should consider her endorsement of Pappas. I wish both she and Buttigieg would return to private life.
This is interesting. I get a lot of email solicitations for candidates, but they are all progressives. It’s informative to know which establishment Dems are stumping for fellow corporate Dem candidates. Thanks for sharing that.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have an intelligent, knowledgeable, humanitarian scientist in Congress. Great interview.
I don't live in New Hampshire. if I did I would vote for her. she may be the best candidate I have heard this year.

Great interview. I hope you win and help stop this war.

Brovo for you. I hope you win.
Thank you for this breath of fresh air. I am curious now to know why the established Dems are supporting Pappas?
One of the most calm sensible and down to earth candidate interviews I’ve heard….
Thank you Prem. Rooting for you Karishma!
Shame on Clinton and KH for supporting her opponent.
Dem leadership is VERY much part of the problem — long sold to AIPAC and corporate interests
Papas keeps emailing me for a donation, It seems kind of suspicious to me . I will not support him.
It seems to me the reason this war is kept going is too keep BBI in the Prime Minister position. Killing in this war along with those taking AIPAC.
the Democratic party is suicidal and reprehensible in its attempts to repress progressive candidates.
Karishma's talk was well done, I wish more politicians would speak the truth as she does! I hope she wins in New Hampshire!
