I am curious though. Is there a point on voting socialist? We all know that even if they win capitalists will not give out their power and will just murder them.
The main purpose of these campaigns is to help educate more people and further bring class consciousness to the working class, as we saw Bernie's movement had done. We are very likely not going to win, but we need to organize as most people only pay attention to politics once every 4 years.
Here's an article from PSL regarding Bernie's campaign in 2020 that may help answer questions:
