Please, Lee Carter isn't some kind of unshakeable hero. Ascending the imperial ladder and claiming that juicy racial bribe will override his idealism in favor of new class interests for sure
I mean yeah putting a ton of faith or effort in to electoral politics is a fuck. That doesn't mean we can't ever hope someone who has had decent success so far expressly advocating for socialism could be good. Deciding he's going to turn to the dark side before there's even a clue he will is pretty dumb and just leftist nihilism
He also didn't enter politics to ascend to the throne. He entered politics because he got electrocuted and got screwed afterwards:
He ended up hurting his back so badly that he could not walk more than 50 feet at a time for the next three months.
The injury was more than just painful and demoralizing: After Virginia rejected Carter’s application for workers’ compensation benefits, and his employer cut down his hours after he recovered, the situation inspired Carter to get involved in politics.
He's already getting attacked by North Virginian yuppie careerist libs, they're saying they "don't like his behavior online" and are making baseless allegations that he's rude to BIPOC who criticize him online. They're also saying the only reason he got into office was that he was unopposed in that first primary (which is an interesting way to frame the fact the DNC didn't even try to field a candidate against an incumbent Republican).

Good luck to him but I don't see this being allowed to succeed. Expect some real ratfuckery if he gets even close to winning
If he wins we can see him ghoulify in real time
Why so pessimistic?
