    You guys can’t even give proper credit and ensure candidates anyone left of “not as fascist as the other party.”

      We need a future where money doesn’t decide politics and appreciate the work to make this an election decided on the issue. Its great day and with a great candidate winning. Having people get involved in their local party can help efforts to better align the party.

      The issue about third party candidates might be a little mute in New York which is one of the last few states that has fusion voting in General elections. Its an intersting effort that allows other parties to nominate a candidate or endorse another parties candidate if they align. Seeing that Zohran Mamdani is a DSA member, its one of the voting methods that helped elect Socialist to office at the turn of the last century. Glad New York retains an intersting voting method and that former Governor Andrew Cuomo didn’t succeed in ruining that legacy.

      Even if you are more interested in DSA it is still worth joining the local party. I believe the DSA support the “Dirty Break” method to build off the Democrat party line and use that as leverage if they or their policies were to be pushed out.
