Under this undemocratic system dominated by the two parties of Wall Street, alternative candidates like Claudia and Karina are unjustly excluded from the polls, debates, and most mainstream coverage. But thanks to the tireless work of thousands of volunteers, we’re breaking through the obstacles!

      You assume that Cornel is not a spoiler and a sheep-dog? He’s an anti-communist who thinks Reagan was great for destroying the USSR and I believe buys into the China hate and atrocity propaganda. Anyone who helps spread the current imperialist propaganda which does the consent for war against China like him is not an ally but an enemy. Fuck his weak, liberal “brother”/“sister” preacher bullshit. He calls white supremacists brother too, he calls arch reactionaries brother too, because to a Christian like him they are brothers and class and material interests don’t matter. Systems don’t matter.

      There’s a reason they killed Malcolm, King, Hampton but left this guy alive and give him TV appearances and that’s because he’s a false consciousness preacher. He has a fetish for defeat, he is the type of person talked about in “Western Marxism, the fetish for defeat and Christian culture”.

      Jill Stein is also not a Marxist and winning a single district with some anti-war unity ticket wouldn’t do anything. We vote for Marxists here because we aim to raise consciousness. A single person winning a district can’t even slow the war machine so it’s pointless if they’re just another liberal whose voice will be drowned out by the sea of propaganda and reality invention which will push for the next conflict. Being smugly right after the fact 15 years later does jack shit because they’ll be out of office by then and will have stood for nothing but their own name and vague anti-war-ism that can’t latch onto the public consciousness or provide explanatory power like a Marxist candidate can.
