Historically, a socialist holding an elected executive office of a capitalist government is a precarious position fraught with contradictions. You can only meaningfully govern by making massive concessions to the ruling class and betraying some supporters. Communists will stake out the "he will betray you" position.
FWIW the Mamdani administration is very aware of this contradiction and deliberately made promises that he can do by decree, such as the rent freeze. But there's also been some rather heinous concessions, like keeping on a bunch of Zionists in the admin, and also keeping on the NYPD commissioner Jessica Tisch.
Why would you argue that we should stop doing our duties once we have cast our ballot and the candidate we support won?
Idk why you think I was arguing that.
because advocating against the current DNC establishment is a necessary step to take to stopping the rachet and pinion mechanism. As long as people like chuck schumer exist in the party you can't be serious about change while advocating to "vote blue no matter who"
I never even mentioned the DNC or "vote blue" bullshit. You seem to be eager to argue with someone who has opinions different than mine.
well yes, I was arguing what HazardousBanjo said. I am on voyager. My initial comment to their parent comment is below yours and the comment from luthis, but not in reply to you.
Then you need to figure out how to use voyager correctly and reply to the correct user because none of this is showing up in HazardousBanjo's inbox. Its showing up in mine.
