    The old “if you’re not with us then you’re against us” position. How about the dems adopt policies that inspire people to vote for them.

      The difference between the Dems and republicans is one pretends to represent everyone equally, the other does not. Both need to make their capitalist masters happy.

      That being said. Dems are doing harm less quickly than the republicans are, so vote for them.

      It is better to be feared in politics than to make people admire or love you. When people are worried about “What if the other guy gets in?” instead of “When the dude I want gets in, what what will they do for us all?” it allows the slow ratchet towards autocratic shitheads like Trump.

      So…. What has any 3rd party candidate done to earn your vote?

      What has any 3rd party candidate done to even prove that have the ability to do jack shit if they were to accidentally get elected to begin with.

      Oh, and lastly, where the fuck do the 3rd party candidates go in-between elections when for three solid years- they’re nowhere to be found?

      See? If all you do is complain, yet have no viable solution, then all you’re doing is complaining. And no one is obligated to take you seriously.

        Claudia De La Crúz of PSL has a program I agree with and believe is necessary.

        What has any 3rd party candidate done to even prove that have the ability to do jack shit if they were to accidentally get elected to begin with.

        PSL organizes year round, every year. They develop internal party infrastructure, protest, run a news site, educate others on Marxist theory, assist with strikes, and are even supporting disaster relief efforts recently due to the hurricanes.

        PSL does what I said year round, every year.

        See? If all you do is complain, yet have no viable solution, then all you’re doing is complaining. And no one is obligated to take you seriously.

        PSL has a viable solution, you can read their full party program here.
