Yeah I appreciate the anti electoralist tendency, but keeping the chuds off my city council/county board and doing direct democracy on state measures is not where that applies IMO.

I also think that we can still do analysis of electoral politics even if the community isn't going to center getting involved in them in our discussion. I think if we had a healthier attitude, c/electoralism would have a mega going on election night(s). Instead the discussion around it is "Mamdani (or other elected) did something bad, you're an idiot for expecting different" or "Mamdani (/whoever (/Hasan?)) did something good, but I don't care cause I'm not a lib btw and I still dont like him".

I guess one of the reasons I would like to see it is because it is an opportunity to bring new people into the community and educate them. I don't think the site will last a whole lot longer in its current form.
