Don’t put yourself at a disadvantage just to keep your halo.

By that logic though, one could just as easily say that she should simply run under a bigger party's ticket that is likelier to win elections.

Nobody's perfect, but this is one of those things that is both easy to do and has a correct answer, like returning shopping carts. Twitter is a Nazi bar, no sane person should use it, and the only thing her presence is doing over there is giving the Nazis a more visible boogeyman to rally against. I'd honestly believe more of her supporters are here on Lemmy than over there.

So like Bernie tried to do?

I'm more partial to the "by any means necessary" approach. The current liberal/social democratic parties aren't in it to win it.

I believe it's going to take a force that is willing to use all its political and economic advantages to leverage history in favor of progress.
