It’s been achieved several times, and I’m sure you’ll remember it the instant you have an opportunity to talk about this or that elected socialist which the CIA had a hand in deposing.

From a historical basis, it’s almost more important that countries like America achieve revolution through electoralism, because it would the revolution direct oversight to abolish and reform the machinery that has been used to reverse electoral revolution elsewhere in the world.

Especially with how much effort goes into trying to rig the system against the possibility, a strong enough electoral victory even for a para-socialist coalition will open the door to exponential electoral capture back from the right.

Filibuster reform can take use to voting rights law, voting rights law can take use to congressional expansion, congressional expansion can take us to voting system reform and multi-seat districting, those can take us to unabashed leftists running independently or in a proper American Worker’s Party, and with the electoral viability of a solid leftist AWP, the sky is the goddamned limit, but to reach the heavens, you still gotta lay the brickwork down here on earth, and that means ya gotta vote.
