electoralism

the American left still pins their hopes on a single mayoral candidate

what hopes? you're revolutionary-jacketing. His policies would be a meaningful improvement in the lives of his constituents, which is exactly what you want from a candidate for mayor. Everything he's said on geopolitics is an unforced error or Obama phone calls, and completely irrelevant to the job he's applying for (which is why he should shut the fuck up and talk about $7 halal cart instead).
