What’s the alternative? Voting for the next version of Trump directly? I’m all for changing our system, but add it stands the only real viable options are team Trump, and Team Mightnotdoenough. I am not thrilled with the latter either, but it seems less than ideal to let the perfect be the enemy of the less bad.

A bit soon for that. The next Trump will arrive in the 2040s.

What a stupendously ridiculous comment. I’m not sure if you are an underpaid troll or your mind genuinely fell right out of your head.

If the new candidates from DSA don’t distance themselves from the establishment; and instead they compromise their positions in order to push forward symbolic legislation that does nothing, yeah, I’m afraid you might be right. It is honestly better we have these DSA candidates continue to be seen as outsiders in the house and Senate and ride off the accomplishments of state DSA executives like Mamdani. It’s better to enter the 2028 election with little association with the current democratic party establishment. And point to the success of local DSA candidates. Then we can truly have a hostile takeover of the party with a strong presidential candidate and state wide representatives. Which right now, looks like it’s AoC or nothing. It’s really the only path I see that would make you incorrect. And Angie Nixon winning in Florida would really light the path to that being something that is actually accomplishable. If she wins. I will have more hope for this country than I have ever had.
