2024 is going to be a shitshow for both major parties. Biden is likely going to remain in the dumps, the GOP and Trump are always shooting themselves in the foot one way or another (more recently with deciding to pull out of presidential debates), and Kyrsten Sinema's bi-partisan fever dream are all going to pile together into a quagmire where people would be begging for some kind of voice of reason.
Having a strong Green candidate would be beautiful. Not another lukewarm Jill Stein or Howie Hawkins. Someone with a background. Someone with bitey dogs. Someone who has seen war. Someone like Chris Hedges.
I might make an effortpost on why I think Hedges is a socialist's best bet in 2024, along with my views on why he's better than Cornel West for the role (since West is, bless his heart, still simping for Democrats), and other factors that make him an all-round decent option. I also like his laugh here.
Regardless, do y'all have some cursed 2024 ideas for the lathe?
Yeah, while it's clear now that outside of exceptional circumstances that a socialist will never be allowed to win electorally, I feel like it's valuable to have somebody out there who can just pitch left wing ideas while the Dems and Reps crumble and struggle to reform themselves. Doesn't hurt either way and we can always use more people on our side if we're gonna struggle towards revolution in this century.
