    Everything is possible. Some things just highly unlikely in the current political climate. I think the mamdani method of doing a shitload of door to door campaigning has been really successful in other parts of the world as well.

    It can give a huge boost to leftist parties which then will be able to affect positive change but also change the political landscape. Overton window and all that.

    What I’m saying is get the fuck out with your local leftist party/candidate or whatever if you can.

        I mean yes, but waiting for the world to change isn’t healthy I believe. Either arrange yourself with how it is now or try to be the change. I bet it’s best to do both.

          voting for incremental change within a captured isn’t the change we (or anybody) needs, it’s only being forced to chose between options predetermined by the capitalists.

              agreed, it should be the smallest part of your civic engagement; not the entirety of it.
