The lesson here isn’t “we’re stuck on rails with no real choices because both dems and republicans make me feel icky” the actual lesson here is that if the party that most closely connects with your ideology doesn’t satisfy you, remake it, sweep out the dusty old corpses and artifacts from a century ago and bring in new leadership and new mandates.
THAT is the lesson that this election should be teaching every leftist and progressive out there. That and the power of actually unifying as a fucking community and not creating weird, isolated ideological factions purity testing each other.
We should take a huge lesson from Mamdani’s handling of his repeated grilling on why he won’t condemn this word or that phrase - STOP GETTING DISTRACTED.
I’d like to take a moment to point out that the third-party candidate did not, in fact, win.
Third party candidates never win.
