📺 Why the Democratic Party CANNOT and WILL NOT be Reformed
Democrats would rather lose to a Republican, to a conservative, to a fascist, to Trump, than address the material conditions of the American people.

I'm not denouncing Mamdani, just trying to align expectations and make it clear that revolution is still necessary in order to begin socialism. I'm cheering for Mamdani, fuck Cuomo. But revolution isn't a pipe dream. Thinking that the system can be reformed from within is the pipe-dream. Mamdani plays a role in helping the proletariat become normalized towards socialism and may represent a decent change in a positive direction for New Yorkers, but his win isn't a requirement for revolution, nor does it get rid of the need for it.
