Even if you wanted to mitigate fascist policies, it has become very obvious, especially recently, that the tactic of voting "the lesser of two evils" is total bullshit. Even if you voted for PSL or some other third party, you are making a statement, which still does more power to make the ruling class shake in their boots. It's like how more people using Linux makes Microsoft more worried (just an analogy, maybe not completely true) than people asking for change within Windows. Even if you wanted to vote blue, what anti-war, anti-imperialist option even exists? Every single last one of those fuckers have betrayed us. Do you want to be covertly stabbed in the back or overtly stabbed in the face?
If you want to actually create change, organize with your local socialist party and volunteer and participate. Try to unionize your workplace. Help with mutual aid. Interact with people and help them join or even just support our cause. The reason PSL is running in the election (Claudia & Karina) is not with the expectation to win, but to utilize the most optimal time when most people are paying attention in politics every four years to help bring class consciousness. This is the current stage we are in, and we are working hard to build a movement for the long term.
Do not expect your local socialist party to be perfect. Do not wait for the perfect party. It will never come. To see change, we must organize now.
