President Biden’s poor polling numbers have raised questions about the possibility of a blowout victory by former President Trump in November, even as he grapples with his own political challenges …
Did you hear? He also pinky swore he would never pardon his son (likely because he knows he’ll never need to)! Don’t you just love him for this empty promise of moral superiority?
am i a lib because i do believe in voting just not for shitty corporate parties? i was all in for cornel west when he announced but the bernie movement didn’t show up to get hin the ballot access needed so i’m going stein. She’ll be on the ballot in at least 48 states.
Cornel West is a grifting joke. Pathetic and hypocritical loser. Does a lot of both sides crap about Israel-Hamas, lots of empty rhetoric that obviously will go nowhere or misses the point
Oh is that true? From what I had seen I thought he had been pretty clear in his solidarity with Palestinians, and that the root cause of the conflict is the occupation. Disagreed with Bernie and called him out for opposing BDS, even when he was stumping for him. I hadn’t seen him do both sidesism myself, but if you had examples of that I’d def check it out.
Yes love PSL, voted PSL in 2020 but if they’re not even on the ballot in 270 EC worth of states then I’m not sure I see the value in it. Open to hear the case for though.
Our goal is 270 worth of ballot access and by my understanding we are on track. But it’s really not about the vote - the purpose of our presidential campaign is to bring a Marxist Leninist party with anti-imperialist politics to an audience of people who think of politics in an electoral frame. We then use that platform to grow the vanguard party and build working class militancy and radicalization. The vote is to show the capitalist class that their position is not secure and the communist politics they thought had been crushed and co-opted are returning.
I don’t know what the point of voting for Jill Stein is - the Green Party is a party in the same sense as the Democrats and Republicans: just a box that shows up on your ballot every few years and otherwise doesn’t exist. They are a known quantity politically who are neither insufficiently organized not radical to scare anyone but hapless MSNBC libs. There is nowhere for the Green Party to go.
is a political party in the classic sense: a membership organization, following democratic centralism, responsive to its members and acting as the dynamic instrument of their collective will on all political and economic fronts. Growth of the PSL is growth of an organization that is unabashedly communist, with excellent on the ground organization, unapologetic support for the Palestinian resistance, and a firm declaration that the number one role of America’s working class is to bring down the empire from within the belly of the beast. It’s the only politics that have ever really threatened capital: Marxism-Leninism.
Ill probably tic her box too but she’s allowed on the ballot (and i know you know this) cuz the green party poses no threat to the caps. No positive sustained MSM coverage on a candidate erases that candidate from the public consciousness. It’s quite amazing how well it works, the 2 party mindset. Theres no harm in voting for her, increased 3rd party turnout might pave the way for even stronger future showings, yeah. To say you believe in voting when it is so thoroughly corrupted in the us, and when there’s no chance she’ll win raises the question: what is it that you believe still works?
Tonal check, i am honestly curious not fighting with you.
Organized labour. Organize unionize and strike. That is literally the only tool the proletariat has to effect change. (Well that and violence but you can’t have a revolution unless you have an organized working class)

Tbf its arguable that ww3 has already started.
the cold war was ww3, this is ww4
I refuse to say the USSR lost a world war. They lost the Cold War, but won the World War.
they survived in the face of fascism for another 44 years, at best it’s a loss deferred
Yeah it seems very possible that the debate in 30 years will be whether WW3 started with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine or October 7th
Or maybe our coup? Or the 8 years of shelling the donbas?
That’s true, it just hasn’t entered direct confrontation phase yet.
Trump really did have the most consensual sex scandal of any president.
Also really highlights how little people care about certain things considering all the terrible shit he’s done to all his wives
Its too early in my workday for you to have broken my brain with this observation.
Those Biden signs in DNC offices actually have the gall to claim he ended the standard of having kids in cages.
They’re now free-range child prisoners

He says free Palestine right before he condemns Hamas.
It she’s on the ballot in your state you should vote for de la Cruz
