You will never get a working class president if change doesn’t happen locally first. Young people don’t vote in local elections and young people don’t put themselves on the ballot of local elections. It’s why actual change at the top will never happen. You can’t expect the average Joe, who isn’t very politically engaged, to vote for a socialist president if they have never experienced what a socialist politician can do for them. That experience needs to happen at the local level. The US needs more Mamdani’s across the entire country and not just in New York.
The reason why Dump is president and co-opted the GOP is because the Tea Party started winning local elections first and pushing out Republican incumbent. They created the momentum so a moron like Drumpf could win a presidential primary.
And they didn’t just do it in political elections even non political elections like school board elections etc. were captured by the Tea Party.
We need a working class president not some corrupt neoliberal democrat with no teeth

The left needs to copy the Tea Party playbook.
I agree with all your points but I would like to point out that the tea party was billionaire backed not grass roots
buddy you need more than 2 fucking parties to begin with
There are over 100 registered parties in the US. For all the good they do.
Electing a working class president won’t fix this. The system needs to be abolished.
We need to learn to build our own, parallel system of people’s bottom-up power.
The corporate dems fight those harder than any republican.
Good luck with that.
