@Tinasburrito666 Other than slowly and methodically taking over a major party, what has actually worked in this country?

@Tinasburrito666 So, let's think this through. Accelerationism doesn't work. Letting Republicans win means that people just want to get them out of office and become too scared to dream. (There's a reason why Bernie went from 44% of the vote in 2016 to 32% in 2020.) As the squad becomes a platoon and then a company, it can start to beat people like Jeffries in the vote. But that takes a lot of work and a lot of time. "Only when people are willing to fight for a future they may not live to see can we get the future we want." Bernie's first rally after his heart attack in 2019

@MichaelAronson It's never happened for me. Admittedly, if I lived in the last place I lived in West Virginia for a year longer, the county clerk was a good, solid official, so I would have voted for him, but other than some local areas where it is so heavily Republican that no Democrat bothers, I don't see that happening nowadays.

@russellward4624 Indeed. As Rachel Maddow so eloquently put it, vote your heart in the primary and your head in the general election.

Because people are stupid and egotistical and would rather keep their "purity" than develop a sense of strategy.
