Slop posts go in c/slop. Don't post low-hanging fruit here.
Letting the city sink under and establishment Dem was totally not the smarter fucking move.
You may as well be a Posadist to say this. Fighting for things is good and waiting for things to get worse and worse as though you can then waltz in and win the confidence of the proletariat is nonsense. You're not a doomer because doomers don't pretend that giving up is 4D chess.
When I am a magnificent eunuch janissary In the Mamdani caliphate in a year I WILL be coming to find YOU!
Let social democrats celebrate. They're not really hurting anyone. This isn't 1919 and they're not currently standing in the way of a successful revolution. If you start stewing in petty resentments now it's not going to serve you or anyone else. Save those feelings for when it matters.
So Hugo Chávez shouldn't have run for president of Venezuela? While electoralism isn't a magic bullet to achieve socialism, it is indeed one useful tool in the belt.
It will be a struggle, but if Mamdani can deliver positive change for his people, he can turn that into a movement.
i'll take that bet.
Also if anyone calls me a doomer for this take I'll be recording your usernames and asking you how you feel about this post in a year from now.
Quick Everyone call sovietbeertruck a doomer so sovietbeertruck has to either make one massive post or a thousand smaller posts.
The wise man bowed his head solemnly and spoke: There's actually zero difference between good and bad things you imbecile, you fucking moron
We love reformism here! Incremental progress! My favorite hobby is to watch elections--things will totally be different this time.
NYC mayor has nigh dictatorial powers in the city, being only be able to be checked by the state govt, NYPD, and the MTA
Honestly even if the only difference between Zohran and Cuomo is that no women get sexually harassed by the NYC mayor I think that's a win.
May the wall come swiftly to the enemies of the NYNKVD.
I cant wait for the NYNKVD to take Steven colbert out to central park and have him shoot on live television
There is also great value in having someone like him win, then fail to improve things or achieve anything. It teaches socialist-leaning people that electoralism achieves nothing. It’s ten years since Sanders, there’s a whole new generation that needs to be taught that lesson (apparently) lol.
Yes exactly! I have to wonder how many people on hexbear picked up Lenin after watching Bernie get screwed.
Anyone have an over/under on superpac expenditures for the general? Something around 50mil?
I think this argument is woefully doomer. At some point we have to support socialist candidates, and socialist organizing. The DSA and the Working Families party are showing up. The fight isn't done, but it's a W regardless
Is he doing socialist organizing? Or is this just an electoral campaign?
Electoralism is fine as a tactic in a larger strategy, but if the entire strategy is just electoralism it's doomed to fail. There has to be a larger revolutionary project at work.
But what if he’s just built different
dem is a dem.. but you know.. maybe this one has a softer touch? he probably will be blocked every step of the way from doing anything meaningful but good luck to him
