I am a communist. The liberal electoral system is systemically rigged towards the bourgeoisie and it would be ridiculous to approach it in good faith.

If your middle of the road beliefs were correct, he wouldn’t have won the primary.

What do you mean? Mamdami's primary platform didn't depart from capitalism as far as I saw. Furthermore, the primary has a different voting audience and calls for different tactics (even if using the same strategy) to improve chances of winning that popularity contest.
