Because electoralism cannot establish Socialism. The Squad are not Socialists, they are Social Democrats. The only Socialist you can vote for is Claudia De La Crúz, and she cannot win because she cannot get 270 votes.

I am not “proving your point,” it is physically impossible to do what you’re suggesting.

Guess what? 99.9% of the people in the country would be happy with having FDR’s New Deal back in place.

Again, you prove my point. You’d rather dream about an ideal Socialist state then work to make things better right now.

They aren’t dreaming, they laid out very clearly what they believe and how they believe it can be achieved.

You just keep saying “I’m rubber, you’re glue”.

What’s your actual point? That you think the person you are replying to is stupid? That would say more about you than them in my opinion.

how they believe it can be achieved.

that’s the part I’m missing.

Like I said, I’ve been hearing people talk about this giant change for years, and never seen anything like an advance.

Meanwhile there are more billionaires every day, and they are getting more entrenched.

If there’s an actual workable plan I’ve yet to see it.

And yet Bernie, promising FDR style reform, did not get elected, nor would that stop fascism, just delay it. I am telling you that the way forward requires revolution. This isn’t because of an “ideal,” but because mechanically it is the only way forward.
