Fuck off. Tell that to New Yorkers who beat the entrenched elites and elected a genuine democratic socialist.
The only thing you’re doing is agreeing with the people who do not want it to be a democracy and convincing people you mostly agree with to not vote and let the worse candidate get into a position of power.
Obviously things could be a lot better. But quitting the whole system and letting it become worse is counterproductive as hell.
If the U.S. had a majority voting system, it would never be possible for the U.S. to have the government it does. Unfortunately, however, this is a fact. So I can only say: Fuck off - I obviously know more about how the U.S. political system works than you do - and I’m not even a U.S. citizen.
Please don’t get me wrong: It’s great that New York has the mayor it does. But put that in a global context: In Europe, Mamdani would be a moderate centrist politician, by no means a radical leftist.
democratic socialism is moderate wing of fascism. Mamdani hasnt spoken a single word about palestine after becoming mayor, he calls cuba and venezuela dictatorial regimes to justify invasion. Fuck him.

We’re getting pretty close to an effectively popular vote-based system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact
That was a city mayoral election. I guess NYC is indeed a democracy. The United States of America is not.
NYC still has a ton of money in politics. NYC still uses first past the post for its general election of their mayor.
Systemically, there are parallels to the rest of the country. The same shit could happen at the national levels.
Its a deeply flawed democracy, with mechanisms to strengthen land owning and wealthy. But it still holds real democratic potential
