Socdems going to socdem I suppose. I always saw his campaign as a good way to actually push socialist ideas onto people, when he is constantly capitulating to the ruling class, despite his campaign promises, that's when our comrades in New York need to make sure the people around them understand why he isn't actually helping them and that you can't fix the system from within.

Just because well read socialists know that electoralism is a dead end doesn't mean that your average person does, so having an actual direct example of it not working is important for agitprop and education. How many people here are leftists because they were inspired by Bernie Sanders, or someone similar in their own countries/cities?

Nobody is going to listen to the "comrades" who campaigned for him and put him into power, they lose their credibility when he sells out. That's the danger of tying your reputation to opportunists

They wont, they were defeated and spend the last months extolling his virtues on here and causing many much more disciplined to leave this forum. I was nearly one of them.
