    At the risk of entertaining the lib in me, I do think investing in elections is fine for the left if it's done as supplementary. But I'm surprised the People's Party genuinely has gone absolutely nowhere.

    Republicans are running on brand loyalty alone, and dems are running on being a reaction to the GOP. I would think the People's Party would try to get one small win in a pretty small state like Rhode Island, make the news or something. While I'm not kidding myself and can safely say that only dems or GOP will be relevant on a federal level, I find that there are small wins to be had at the state and local level, and a breath of fresh air would clown on both parties.

      Electoralism =/= participating in elections

      Electoralism is treating elections as the primary vehicle for change

      Isn't the People's Party a bunch of grifters? I haven't bothered looking too into them, it just seemed like a grift
