...is like bragging that you are the tallest building in Topeka. It is technically true, but it has absolutely no impact on the skyline that actually matters.

As we all know, they are not actually a political party, and given their track record of winning actual races, "large" is a funny way to describe a group whose entire national caucus could comfortably share an Uber XL.

Frankly, that is like bragging you are the "most popular band" at a mime convention. You are dominating a category that the rest of the country does not even realize is competing.

In the end, being the largest socialist organization in the US just means they have the highest concentration of committees dedicated to arguing over the font size on their own meeting minutes.

Whoop-de-fucking-doo! 🎉🥳🤣
