    How do they get to 270 tho otherwise they’re just helping trump.

    The correct time to challenge a party’s platform is during primaries.

    Doing it during the general is just playing spoiler and really helps no one.

    Notice how Jill Stein and West and the like never come around to help until there’s a presidential election then they’re front and center.

    Very telling.

      Not completely true. If Democrats have been ignoring socialist issues, THIS is the time to let them know that if they want the socialist vote, they have a specific set of actions they need to take.

      If it’s all about gathering support for the socialist candidate… then yeah. Do it at the primaries.
