  • Accurate, but a couple really important notes that people here seem to intentionally overlook.

    Even in your accurate negative assessment of both parties, one is a hell of a lot better than the others.

    And I don’t think we need a new party. The system doesn’t really allow for it, a new party isn’t a hard requirement, and we shouldn’t add impediments to getting done what needs to get done.

    The DSA is that “party”, and certainly for now working within the Democratic party is the way to do it. This has been demonstrated with both the Tea Party and MAGA co-opting and taking over the Republican party.

    I’m generally in favor of things like ranked choice and proportional representation, but those things aren’t requirements to lead us in a better direction. Mamdani is working within the Democratic party. It can be done.
