So more progressive socialists are going to run in the primaries? And the voters are going to be voting in the primaries?
You'd hope. But with that list naming anti-capitalism as a marker for "terrorism", it could end up being a mechanism they use to remove those threats if they garner too much support. That's not in their best interests if they want to maintain power after the election but they've been enormously brazen with their behavior that it can't be ruled out.
History shows that quietly kowtowing to the fascists only emboldens them to go further. We have to collectively rise up against them.

Thank goodness we have strong campaign finance and party regulation laws that prevent connected party insiders from creating rules or deploying resources that make it effectively impossible for progressive socialists to win /s

So .. you're telling me the Bernie Sanders didn't win the Democratic primary for Senator in Vermont to begin his federal senatorial career*? You're saying AOC, and Ilhan Omar, and Pramila Jayapal did not run in the Democratic primaries for US House? You're saying Zorhan Mamdani was barred from the Democratic primary for NYC mayor?

Wait. You mean Sanders, AOC, Omar, and Jayapal didn't win their respective elections? Even after winning the primaries they weren't allowed to campaign in?
It's a good thing you're here to correct my misperceptions of reality. I may have to rethink a few things based on these revelations.
yes, I know Sanders won as an Independent, but he did that after first winning the Democratic primary and then turning down the nomination.
It won’t matter if they do because half of independents don’t like socialism and the republicans will win anyway.
You know if there's one thing I've learned, it's that defeatism is the best way to win!
If only the people would vote in their best interests for once.
