The state the left is in is embarrassing. The fact we’re at baby-steps of “proving a socialist mayor can run a city while making democrats look rightwing” is a terrible state of affairs, but we should probably play that hand. I don’t think he’ll have the effective power to purge every zionist in new yorks affairs.
I think it’s better to shake hands with a zionist for a while before personally cutting their throat at a later date than to remain powerless.

Again, I’m not even saying that much is the ask! But if we’re arguing optics, which is the only argument anyone makes in defense of the failures of his entryism attempt, he has repeatedly shown a willingness and savviness to stay on message and dodge the damn question.
If we’re arguing that he needs to fear almighty Zion because we’re too weak to face them, I wanna see him go apologize like he apologized to the pigs. No half measures.
The only hopes I have from this campaign is primarily staked on the hardening of his base that will come about when this goes sideways, again, because entryism is a failed tactic, and hoping the number hardened outweigh those that fall into nihilistic doomerism. Hopefully there are enough people that are spared from worsening conditions that it outweighs the harm and deaths done by our pathetic attempts at international solidarity.
I agree you must engage in the arena, if not simply for the ability to engage with the masses. I’m not arguing against strategic electoralism in that sense.

I also hope people are afforded some respite, and that some are simply hardened.
I agree that entryism is a failed tactic, but engaging in the arena is a must, otherwise you’re simply conceding power while still remaining a target.
