There are no solutions now, only collapse, and history demonstrates that it will. Mamdani’s election will do some limited good for sure, and that’s great, but the establishment will learn from that loss and determine how to prevent it in the future, just like they did after Ross Perot got so close to the presidency.
The only power you or I have is local, and I’d advise you to be involved locally as a voter and if you have the time and money, to run yourself. (And, generally, to just do good things in your neighborhood like picking up trash or handing out sandwiches to homeless people.)
The only exceptions to that are being a billionaire or being willing to go full Player 2 like a certain CEO-hating Italian.
Primarying might work on the local level, but it won’t work for any national office, because Democrats do not have to play by any rules or honor the result. If they did, we’d have just witnessed the end of a second Sanders presidency, we’d all be making a living wage, and cost of living would actually be affordable.
I do love your ‘complaining’ comment though, as if I’m the problem.
I’d love for Bernie Sanders to be president. The bottom line is America wasn’t ready for it. Which is why he lost the popular vote both times.

You realize we locally vote for our representatives in Congress, right? They can be primaried. Primarying members of Congress absolutely changes the face of a party and shifts its values.
Im not the one incapable of reading community rules telling you to leave your bullshit liberalism at the door. This very post is about people like you. Liberals that love coming into communist spaces and trying to colonize it with your bullshit, then rant when your colonization isnt tolerated.
You’re very mad people don’t want to spend time hearing about how your favorite billionaire backed candidate will kill 1% less brown people and how we should vote for them.
The US was ready for it, but he was a party sheepdog who was never gonna win. His sole purpose in the elections were to keep disenfranchised voters rounded up in the party until it was too late to form outside coalitions.

You can leave if you want, since you clearly hate it here. You have a clown image for a reason it seems.

Your Liberalism was not welcome over there either.
