I don't see how any of what you just said relates to what I just said. Positive change towards Socialism cannot happen electorally, so if you want to vote for Biden, go for it. It won't move us any closer to Socialism.

Oh, maybe I misunderstood. Sorry. Yes I agree. It's why I want to see Ranked Choice Voting being pushed. That would get more socialist leaning candidates that could implement some social policies to benefit all of us.

Ranked choice would be nice, but I don't share your optimism that it could be implemented broadly in the US, nor would it allow Socialist leaning candidates to take office.

The US is built on Imperialism and maintaining its status in the global order, any candidates that go against that would be ruthlessly slandered by the media and near forcibly removed.
