The reason they do this is due to how people vote. You want change, show up and vote for socialist views.

The fact that just saying "vote for socialist views" is getting downvoted so hard in a progressive subreddit tells me all I need to know - this place is compromised.

Democrats sue socialist candidates off the ballots.

When have Democrats ever ignored the results of an election?

The dnc had argued and won in court that they don't actually need to follow primary results since they're technically a corporation

That's about party primaries, not elections, and it doesn't say anything about results, just that their chair was "biased".

Oh well I guess we should just give up and sit on our thumbs then.

They do this because their real constituents are the billionaire class. If they gave a shit about the vote they'd be lining up behind Mamdani 100% instead of covertly supporting ~~a sexual predator~~ Andrew Cuomo collaborating covertly with ~~another sexual predator~~ Donald Trump.

Okay but have you seen the American voting public? How do you expect socialist views to be elected when your neighbours aren't socialist?

They keep insisting centrist views can win after seeing Donald win not once, but twice against hardline centrists. Democratic voters are not reasonable people.

I'd expect politicians with any intelligence to do something different if they weren't actually serving billionaires.
