So…. What has any 3rd party candidate done to earn your vote?

Claudia De La Crúz of PSL has a program I agree with and believe is necessary.

What has any 3rd party candidate done to even prove that have the ability to do jack shit if they were to accidentally get elected to begin with.

PSL organizes year round, every year. They develop internal party infrastructure, protest, run a news site, educate others on Marxist theory, assist with strikes, and are even supporting disaster relief efforts recently due to the hurricanes.

Oh, and lastly, where the fuck do the 3rd party candidates go in-between elections when for three solid years- they’re nowhere to be found?

PSL does what I said year round, every year.

See? If all you do is complain, yet have no viable solution, then all you’re doing is complaining. And no one is obligated to take you seriously.

PSL has a viable solution, you can read their full party program here.

They've also been very involved in antiwar protests since Iraq at least with answer coalition too!

A Trump victory does not advance these goals.

Neither does a Harris victory.

Yes. Let's just keep shifting right, and then eventually we'll end up left; it's like Pacman!

Yes, that is the liberal plan, unclear why they think it would work.
