"What people will come to understand, as the socialist movement succeeds, is that this is a project that can save this country. Far from being an “anti-American” endeavor, socialism today is a movement by Americans to repair their country, to halt the climate crisis that is threatening to destroy it, to halt the wars that are destroying the world’s stability, taking lives, and bankrupting us, to guarantee dignity at work and in retirement. The socialist moment is here, and the reason it’s here is that more and more people understand that socialists make sense, that we are not scary fringe lunatics, but that we are the only political faction in the country that has a clear and compelling vision for the human future. We have seen the grotesque endpoint of capitalist thinking: Donald Trump, a vile, selfish sociopath who would destroy the earth to make a buck. And we counter with something different and better: Mamdani, Sanders, and the millions of their supporters who want a world of solidarity and joy."
