🚨The Vote Socialist campaign is putting socialism on the map!🚨

Thanks to the hard work of thousands of volunteers, the majority of people in this country will see socialism on the ballot this November! Additional official write-in states are still to be announced!

The two-party system makes it incredibly difficult for third party candidates without huge financial resources to access ballots in some states. No matter what status your state is, we encourage supporters to get involved and help build the movement for a future by and for the people beyond the ballot box!

Whether you can donate your money your time, or both — we need your help.

Visit 🔗http://votesocialist2024.com/volunteer to learn how you can get involved!

Would you consider meeting somewhere in the middle?

iirc they put workplace democracy on their platform a few years back. regardless, i’m disillusioned with electoral politics so i’m just going to vote for claudia de la cruz. i’d rather vote for the person who aligns with my politics mote than bother trying to vote “strategically,” especially when neither of them have a realistic path to victory.

i prefer PSL ideologically but i can see voting for Stein just bc a fair number of Muslims are galvanizing around her as a Gaza stance and i cant argue against contributing to that

I don't know anything about the green party, are they cool at all? I said I was done compromising after bernie

[–] heatenconsumerist@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

She's definitely a lot cooler than either main-party option, also has waaaay over the 270 possible electoral votes to win.

Cooler than Claudia, absolutely not.

Possible to win, yes (w/ how she's polling atm).

Otherwise, why would dems be trying (and failing) to run her off the ballot in so many states?

[–] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

Because they're worried she would peel off enough of their voters to swing the state over to Trump?

It absolutely doesn't mean she has a chance of winning.

To be clear, although it should go without saying on this site, fuck Kamala Harris and all other such zionazis. It would be funny if Jill Stein cost her a state.

are they cool at all?

Jill Stein has aligned herself with anti-vaxxers so I'm gonna have to go with no on that one

This is lib propaganda and is verifiably not true

Edit: To clarify, this misconception stems from REDDIT of all places, it's absolutely false.

As a medical doctor of course I support vaccinations. I have a problem with the FDA being controlled by drug companies. — Dr. Jill Stein (@DrJillStein) July 29, 2016

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago (2 children)

So she just said big farma is corrupting the FDA and libs jus spinned it as anti vaxx? They suck so much

[–] Sickos@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, the actual "she's an antivaxxer" talking point spun out from something like "what do you think about people who don't trust the vaccines?" "You can't expect everyone to trust something developed by big business behind closed doors with minimal oversight" where a snippet was taken out of context and used to push that lie.

I'll see if I can find the actual interaction. This was purely from memory.

Only found references to a reddit AMA from a WaPo article

[–] lapis@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

ah that’s good to know. though I would note it stemmed from a comment by Stein herself in an AMA on reddit, not just random redditors making up conspiracies.

still not voting for her over Claudia & Karina, though.
