My point is that we haven’t had good candidates as evidence by their losing. When we actually do have a good candidate that wins we are suddenly the idealists that aren’t practical, as if winning power (in spite of both political establishments) is something other than an act of pragmatism.
It is silly to think we can’t learn lessons on how Mamdani won because he hasn’t exercised the office yet. This isn’t about how you did that right thing and voted against fascism that one time. This is about winning power, and if that is too idealist for you then I don’t know what else to say other than I’ll see you on the campaign trail.

What will the Democratic leadership learn from Mamdani’s win?
They’ve only taken away “charismatic” candidate

As long as we’re paying attention to those who can imagine a different future, then we’re at the same table.

He’s a politician let’s see if he actually does anything. You must be young with your blind faith in politicians.
Eventually the rest of the world will build a wall around US.
