Yeah sorry, my frustration isn't with you. I understand the intent of the campaign. I just fundamentally disagree that it accomplishes those goals, or maybe more specifically, the price they pay for those members is too high. Now obviously their membership isn't public and them growing is a good thing, but I would like to see those numbers in a year or two. Do the people who join because of the campaign stick around? Do they only work on the campaign? Does the campaign cause people to burn out? etc. etc.
They need to demonstrate competence to deserve the label 'vanguard' and using the same strategy as all the other third parties just doesn't cut it for me. But I wish them luck.
I agree with all of this honestly. I think the analysis by this redditer is deeply flawed especially since they seem under the impression the PSL cares about winning the national election instead of their stated goals. I know your frustration wasn't with me, and that's why I'm not really trying to refute your points.
