It’s more than nice to have. It’s an imperative that we take seats away from both fascist parties. Winning elections is self-defense.
One less fascist vote to harm us and our friends & family.
If we get a few leftists in power in one chamber of one legislative body, now we have enough people to block tight votes. That’s leverage that forces the capitalist reps to come to the table and give us consessions.
But even if there’s just a mayor that means a ton of executive power to reign in NYPD, fund all sorts of projects across the city, and actually make people’s lives better. That’s 1000x better than letting a ghoul like Cuomo in.
The labor organizing is good but it’s not working here in the states. Union participation is at its lowest level in, what, 50 years? And that’s not for a lack of leftists trying. People don’t support unions. It’s not working here. Maybe you have better experience than I do but the people I talk to day to day say things like “I love my job” if I even start hinting at helping with unionizing. The Starbucks workers near me didn’t want to unionize because despite what the company did it was still better than working for the other fast food chains. There’s a lot of Stockholm syndrome involved but also a lot of self-imposed “I deserve to be in this spot” mentality that IDK how to break through.
I see the same mentality on here. Ya’ll are so used to losing that you cope by rabidly attacking anyone getting close to power. You nitpick Zohran and yeah he’s not perfect but nobody is! And if you really want the “perfect” candidate the only person that can be is you.
The time for book clubs is over. It’s too late for that. We have armed paramilitary forces marching through cities and abducting people right now. Either we take power through the only legal means left OR we do what Mao did, and I’m not saying any more to get myself on even more lists.
