Sadly, if polling numbers are accurate, she's going to get smoked in the primary. And in a state that went 70% for Vladimir Trump I doubt she can pull a Bernie and win as an independent after losing the primary.

I think she'll run for Senator or Governor in the state of Wyoming next.
Maybe, by the time she runs again Trump Fascism will have less sway in the GOP and it'll return to being a Conservative Political Party. Probably, unrealistic expectations, but one could hope.

Better rethink the Facism part. There was no government control of business and labor. Certainly opposition was allowed during his administration.
The current administration will tell you Russia is the US's biggest threat, but it is China.You only have to look what the Chinese have done/doing economically in places like Sri Lanka, Pakistan, most of SouthAmerica,currently in Brazil. They are waging economic war.Economic enslavement is the goal. Unfortunately too many people/politicians/businesses in the US are on that Chinese money train. Our current President and his people have only weakened the US. Look what is going on with the military, economy, energy, etc.
American Government & Citizens don’t want to admit China is a serious issue because the USA can’t make anything without significant parts only available & sourced from China.

USA is “totally dependent” on Chinese goods.
If I recall, Nixon made the opening to China. And US capitalists abandoned the US worker and flocked to China.
And the threat is not China v. Russia. It’s both. I believe the attack on Ukraine is coordinated with China and Taiwan is next, a 2 front war. We are keeping the response to Ukraine restrained so as to have some capability left when that happens.
I we can’t stop the takeover of Taiwan, and that is very problematic, and the chips are gone, our goose is cooked.

Exactly, Chinese state capitalism was constructed in coordination with American private capitalism. Their economic power was built through the oursourcing of American work by American companies. Then, they grew into a consumer economy buying lots of American goods and services. So, now we depend on buying their stuff while a big chunk of our export sales are by their consumers.
The mistake is to look at China as a communist state. Yes, it still has aspects of communist ideology in its government and systems but it functions in the world markets along with the multinationals, corporations, and economic interests as part of global capitalism. The difference is that there is somewhat greater level of state involvement/corruption. Russia is similar. Both were shaped by American cold war politics and economic policies.
The Republican right is going in the same direction by de-emphasizing democracy and celebrating crony capitalism. The left and Democrats (not always the same thing) are not some perfect alternative nor above criticism, but they do support somewhat more democratic government and electoral systems.
