Who are we voting for this election?

Voting in a bourgeois democracy yada yada... But seriously if we all came together and went out to vote, who'd it be? I saw joke responses for Markiplier that seemed to gain traction on tiktok the same day, other comments here and on YouTube proposed Jill Stein(or it was just yt and my mind is playing tricks). Asking because I had had a discussion with my roommate (the other roommate that isn't the LL) and he said something along the lines of if I don't vote I don't get to complain, which i don't agree with but understand the sentiment. That and we discussed more of an importance of local elections rather than national. And idk I'm not one for caring anymore. If things were better and more hopeful I'd try but teeth hurt and it's not getting better, hair is falling out, body is weak, diet is shit, youth is gone, and I've nothing to show for it. So I definitely don't care anymore and more than likely won't participate myself unless I really see some sort of movement even then I'd probably walk into traffic before voting again.

    Ignoring that Electoralism is trapped thinking and actual change happens outside the outlined political apparatus via building pressure and organizing, of course...

    Claudia De La Cruz, representing the Party for Socialism and Liberation, is by far the best candidate on the ballot in my opinion. If you live in a swing state, sure, vote for Biden if you really want to, but if you live in a non-swing state there isn't any point in voting for Biden (not that there is much of a point in voting for Biden in a swing state to begin with, of course).

    Jill Stein is alright, but the greens are no vanguard party and PSL has both better organization and politics.

      I love Jill Stein and a lot of the Greens (they are surprisingly strong in parts of the Midwest). That saidz PSL will be getting my vote this year. I see a little more momentum building up with them this year, with those PSL posters popping up and many PSL members making material improvements in my town.
