      Why would I say that? I’m literally advocating people support a party running against trump.

        It’s pretty safe to say everyone is aware of what you’re advocating for here.

          I’ve made it abundantly clear, I want people to vote for the party for socialism and liberation no matter what political party they might have been planning on voting for.

          Greens? They’re empty triangulators, vote psl instead.

          Republicans? They’re the vile servants of capital who have no intent to disentangle America from foreign wars. Vote psl instead.

          Democrats? Also the disgusting servants of capital who have no intent to stop the genocide, vote psl instead.

            I’m sure lemmy.ml will be able to do what nobody has been able to do in the 200+ year history of the US and make third parties relevant! Great job! /s

            The meme is that you’re supposed to try to improve the system in between elections, not just throw away your vote every 4 years and call it a day

              If third parties aren’t relevant then who cares if people vote for them?

              I agree that people shouldn’t just throw in the towel and vote for one of the two major parties when they’ve been working so hard in the non election years to build a workers state.

                Might wanna change your tactics then, bud. Your work doesn’t seem to be paying off. The US has never been further from a worker state.

                  Psl does represent a change in tactics I think. Their focus on organizing normal people instead of grabbing at the reins of power held by liberals or hyper focusing on campuses is different from the communist organizations of olde.

                    The PSL is a joke. Everyone knows this. They’re not even on the ballot in many states and need to be write-ins. Suggesting anyone vote for their dumb shit within mere weeks of an election is absolutely as bat-shit bad faith as it gets.

                    You know damn well they cannot win. It’s mathematically impossible. Yet you’re still pushing that garbage. Oh, wait. You actually want them to gain traction? Let’s say for a second that I even believe you. So let’s say you truly want them to win. Here’s what you do:

                    You vote for who has the chance to win, them you do the hard work over next three and a half years of helping your chosen candidates gain the attention they need to be viable- Cavas, town halls, all that shit. And if they happen to lose again- which they will…

                    do it again. And again, and again.

                    But to expect and ask people to vote for two complete nobodies that just show up at the eleventh hour with little to no effective roadmap to any legitimate policy- and fleece votes away from the one person that actually has a chance to defeat a man who has said he intends to turn the military against his own people?

                    Seriously … what the ever-loving fuck, man?

              Why aren’t you trying to improve the system between elections? It’s clear you understand the flaws of First past the post voting. Why haven’t you been doing something about the spoiler effect you are so very concerned with?
