@ahltorp 100% or 1000% either way it would be a better use of time to organise communities for direct action rather than begging to slow down fascism slightly

As a topic in the #DominantPartySystem #PoliticalScience literature, #electoralism describes a situation in which the transition out of #HardAuthoritarian rule is initiated and managed by the #IncumbentRegime.

#Electoralism is a term first used by Terry Karl, professor of political science at Stanford University, to describe a "half-way" transition from #AuthoritarianRule toward #DemocraticRule.

People can still do more in #electoralism rather than this Vote for the Lesser-Evil bullshit.

#ZohranMamdani has no practical reason of doing this if he was running on his principles, which I believe he does or at least did held beforehand.

Cos let's be fair, he sounded neat when he got started.

Why is this all happening?

Because #Electoralism is a complete sham & I'm telling you people in this #VoteBlue #DSA Progressive camp right fucking now this will keep happening as you do Entryism to the #Democrats every century.

Its been going on since the 1890's, we're in the 2020's for godsakes!

[CW: more platner nonsense] Senate Democrats tread lightly on Maine primary as new poll shows Graham Platner leading Janet Mills submitted by smokeppb to electoralism 29 points | 15 comments https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/senate-democrats-maine-senate-primary-graham-platner-janet-mills-rcna239396 > The survey conducted by the University of New Hampshire found Platner leading Mills 58% to 24% among likely primary voters, with 14% undecided. It was conducted from Oct. 16 to Oct. 21, amid revelations of inflammatory online posts by Platner, but before he said he covered up a tattoo after his campaign was informed it resembled a Nazi symbol. Who wants to bet the odds will change in Platner’s favor after the tattoo incident. Or maybe the act of covering it up will be seen as damaging to your typikkkal Maine voter. Only time will tell. > Mills and Platner each have a strong ally who is sticking by them, while the rest of the caucus is largely steering clear of the Mills-Platner battle. Not one senator said Platner’s tattoo or other controversies were disqualifying, and several acknowledged he’s bringing excitement to a party that has been struggling in the political wilderness since President Donald Trump took back power in January. > Platner is “exciting,” said Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vt., as he waved away questions about his recent controversies. “Mainers will figure it out.” “The kids got spunk!” The kid:

DSA’s Cuba solidarity work submitted by thelastaxolotl to electoralism 56 points | 5 comments Tweet > Our delegation met Cuban workers, doctors, teachers and artists who keep the country running despite the growing hardships imposed by the U.S. blockade. > We visited Cuba’s Latin American School of Medicine, which has trained thousands of doctors, including over 100 from Palestine. We also met with CENESEX to learn about Cuba’s fight against homophobia and transphobia, and with Deputy Minister Carlos de Cossio at @CubaMINREX > The resilience of the Cuban people inspires us, but we also saw firsthand the hardships they face. From blackouts to shortages of basic goods, the U.S. blockade grips daily life, and things are worsening as sanctions tighten and Trump beats the drums of war in the region. > We return more determined than ever to end the cruel U.S. blockade and stand with the Cuban people as they fight to build a brighter future for their country. Special thanks to our partners at @cubamistad and @AmisturCuba for helping make this delegation possible. > Hear more about the delegation and DSA’s Cuba solidarity work at our Reportback on Sunday, Nov 9: bit.ly/25cubarp

It's ZOHVER submitted by micnd90 to electoralism 44 points | 25 comments https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/ec638348-e5d4-4c46-a2e5-631892a918ef.jpeg A crowd gathered around mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani on Saturday as he lay on his back struggling to bench-press 135 pounds at the annual Men’s Day in Brooklyn. He couldn’t do it. Mayor Eric Adams derided him as “Mamscrawny” — but Mamdani’s fans didn’t care. Weightlifting isn’t a requirement to serve as mayor.

Zohran Mamdani update: Zohran hosted a citywide scavenger hunt last weekend, just for fun, that drew a larger crowd than Cuomo had volunteers for his entire mayoral campaign submitted by CoolerOpposide to electoralism 58 points | 6 comments https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/fc88de97-1611-4031-9c19-af1f1f764240.png The Zohran campaign also has canvassed nearly 100K homes in the past 6 days

It isn't about fighting for better, It is a mad dash to justify absolute evil. I despise those who love #electoralism.

"When we participate in elections to win, instead of disrupt, we're lending to the fascist system's credibility, and destroying our own. With all the factors of control over the electoral process in the hands of the ruling class, the people's party will be made to be isolated and unimportant." - George Jackson

But this feels fast headed to a #electoralism solves everything conclusion. Now, I reserve my judgment since I only just got to the tournament of the throne. Besides, to a mediveal kingdom, democracy is a revolutionary concept.

If you're a Liberal or Progressive who, at this point, is still furiously bitching about why the Democrats won't "do something" about all this, then you're as stupid as you look.

Who you got in 2028? submitted by YourMom to electoralism 15 points | 24 comments My assumption is someone whose ideology and thought processes are aligned with Elizabeth Warren; so a solid progressive and is willing to be more pragmatic and get things done instead of sit on their ass whining all day. If we want to win, we **need** a candidate that does not believe in magic wand solutions, wants things to be **planned** , not something catchy for the uninformed and all willy nilly. One could say that in the last few elections she encapsulated that (and then some). So her or someone similar like Pete Who you got?
