i can see people are learning the wrong lessons from Jamal Bowman's defeat. He's just the latest in a long line of challengers from the left side that get defeated by the establishment who prefer the right side of the duopoly.
India Walton, a socialist, won the democratic primary for mayor of Buffalo & the entire party closed ranks to help the corrupt incumbent's write-in campaign. #CorpoDems spent millions defeating Nina Turner.
The morale of this story is; true reformers need their own party

toussaint (toussaint@newsie.social)'s status on Friday, 28-Jun-2024 22:46:20 JST toussaint the corporate democrat party is making it absolutely clear they will not be reformed from the inside, they will not let reformers inside in the 1st place. The Left must form their own party & ONLY work in coalition w/ #Corpodems when they come around to our side of an issue, otherwise let their failing policies & people fail. The Left is the only thing holding the party above water, its time to let them fail so something new can be born. The dems are bought& paid for & we cant afford to even bid
