The greatest crime for this type of leftist is winning. They immediately begin Sellout WatchTM and they find something immediately (unless the winner won a city council seat in 2013–the only exception).
It is so fucking stupid and joyless. Get fucked.
JOIN US FRIDAY, 2/20 AT 6PM IN NYC, at Starr Bar in Bushwick! Fundraiser to to win our election as the first-ever revolutionary socialist to Congress!
The AOC-ification of Mamdani has taken place at lightning speed, from promising to reappoint brutal arch-Zionist police commissioner Jessica Tisch months before his election and endorsing millionaire streak-breaker Kathy Hochul for governor, to turning his back on key campaign promises like taxing the rich and expanding rental assistence.
There is only one way to break with this endless cycle of disappointment and betrayals from so-called "progressive" and "socialist" Democrats: breaking with both bloodstained parties of war and genocide.
Working people need our own party, and we need independent candidates of our own who are willing to go to war against both the Democrats and Republicans to win things working people need.
During my decade as the lone socialist on the Seattle City Council, my fellow revolutionary socialists and I did exactly this, leading movements of working people to win the highest minimum in the nation, the Amazon Tax on big business to fund affordable housing, and landmark renters' rights victories.
We need to take this fighting approach to a national scale, shut down ICE, end the genocide in Gaza, and tax the rich for free healthcare for all. My campaign is a fight to elect the first ever revolutionary socialist to U.S. Congress, but it will take an army of working people around the country to make this possible.
The Kshama for Congress campaign and Workers Strike Back members in New York City are hosting a fundraiser THIS FRIDAY, 2/20, at 6PM at Starr Bar in Bushwick to help build this movement. RSVP today and join us in fighting to make history
