    I voted party for socialism and liberation and you can too!

    They’re running Claudia de la Cruz on a platform of Palestinian statehood and an end to arms shipments to israel.

    If you never asked Harris to dazzle you, only to show even the smallest sign of intent to end the genocide she’s party to, why not vote for a candidate that has consistently been anti genocide this whole time!

        As long as you don’t live in Alaska, Nevada, Montana, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Georgia or Pennsylvania you can signal for psl when you vote!

      Voting for Claudia de la Cruz at this point will not actually help, and deep down I’m sure you know that. Fundamental changes are needed to break through the 2-party system. And I’m sure you know that too. You’re basically polishing a shiny chrome gearshift knob you bought in case someday your grandchildren can afford a fancy car. Congratulations!

        Psl is literally a revolutionary party.

        It doesn’t get more fundamental than that.

          It’s not about the player, it’s about the game. Two party first past the post systems are subject to the weakness of the “Spoiler effect” which is a legitimate problem with the design of the system.

          As a Canadian this is a well known and well worn principle of our election landscape as “strategic voting” has been byword in elections for about 20 years. The Electoral College creates additional complexity that is more or less something that can be pointed to as the source of the problem but the issues are much deeper.

          I know it’s really hard to actually come up against these principles and lose one’s innocent belief that the system rewards your type of participation… But you need to look beyond the gloss and realize how cracked the system is otherwise you will be played.

          PSL is a spoiler campaign that isn’t even on the ballot in most states because they are inexperienced, do-nothing spoilers. Any vote for them is an assist for Trump.

          To anyone reading along- ask yourself this:

          These people that ask you to vote for the PSL. Where were they over the past four years? Have you even heard of their spoiler candidate before a few weeks ago? What have they done to make their policy known? And like the “socialists” like to say:

          “What has she done to earn your vote?”

          These people simping for the PSL don’t have your interest in mind any more that the members that are trying to get themselves elected.

          Do NOT take them seriously until they show that have earned your attention!

            De La Cruz and the PSL Actually does things outside of run for office. Organize various revolutionary groups, protest genocide, help marginalized communities.

            Just because you ignore all political action besides voting every 4(or maybe 2) years doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
