He's not even running for that influential of a position. IDK why everyone makes such a big deal about it either way. Rather he wins than Cuomo but that's damning with faint praise.

I agree with you. I just think many people think of him as a leftist leader, which is both wrong and harmful.

People need to realize there will never be a leftist leader in the United SSnakes of Amerikkka. What would an Amerikkkan leftist leader even run on? More tasty treats for the labor aristocracy?

"leftist leader" is a fuzzy term here. there are some in unions. the PSL has leadership. maybe one of them can sneak into congress (not that they'd accomplish anything other than a bully pulpit) if the stars align.

A bully pulpit could be useful if it gets more people to get off their butts and organize

if they actually would. it would be strange for an electoralist to turn around and use their office to advocate for actual dual power instead of more electoralism.

We need electoralists that don't want the office to inflate their own egos or careers. Selfless people are in rare supply :/
