This guy seemingly doesn’t have higher ambitions than being a good mayor. That might change, but for now that is what it looks like.

EVERYTHING BELOW IS SPECULATION, IF I’M WRONG PLEASE DON’T DUNK ON ME. I KNOW HE’S SAID SOME CRINGE IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS, I’M IGNORING THAT RIGHT NOW

He has a very strong and dedicated canvassing operation. If he pulls a reverse obama by not killing the movement as soon as he wins, he can leverage it towards pressuring libs into backing his agenda. His platform will not usher in a socialist future (IDK IF HE’S A MARXIST IT DOESN’T MATTER RIGHT NOW) but if he manages to deliver he will objectively be the most successful demsoc in generations, help a lot of people, and develop a blueprint for other cities to follow

We are allowed to celebrate good things, and as communists we can celebrate when well-meaning socialists beat our enemies

Also if he manages to direct his movement towards other worthy goals supporting other socialists or palestine liberation that would be cool
