Seconded. Also, acknowledging the reality that change is slow.
Some people think burning down the system is the way to go, but rarely talk about what comes after. We have a system currently, albeit shitty af, but changing it will take much less work and time than building one from the ground up. Not to mention the amount of suffering that would be caused by the turmoil that would follow a governmental collapse.
Zohran Mamdani and other Democratic Socialists have proved that it is possible to co-op the Democratic party. Now, it is just a matter of like-minded people putting in the work to organize.
Time will tell if our ability to organize changes, but as of right now, we have hope.
