For what purpose? I knew that either Trump or Biden had it in the bag. What sense would it have made to go out and brave covid to do a write in for a party that get less than 1% of the vote?
An activist who counts on getting 20 votes will be emboldened if they get 200, even if they still lose. See it as a possibility to give good people a thumbs up.
It is also a way of registering dissent. You didn't stay home because you were too stupid and lazy to go to the polls. You went and you voted against the two state-sponsored parties. Ideally third party votes will rob democrats of some victos. They will be even more pissed off when they find out they lost because enough people wrote in the Donald Duck Party instead of voting for them.
Because it's disgusting that democrats cynically use black voters as a tool while doing nothing to meaningfully aide them. My advice, to literally everybody, is to STOP voting. Full stop, period. Stop giving support to electoralism.
Not supporting electoralism means the communist parties shouldn't spend their time and energy trying to win votes or changing their program to appeal to more voters. It doesn't mean you shouldn't vote for a communist party.
Electoralism is one of the reason why many communist parties diluted and destroyed their own programs, but no communist party, principled or otherwise was ever like "don't vote for us". That's just defeatism and laziness.
Please read "Leftwing communism" by Lenin. I'm a leftcom and it's so funny people tell me to read this book without ever reading it themselves.
Voting hardly takes a few hours. In terms of hours invested vs potential result it is one of the best things you can do.
Next time, vote for the communist party, wherever you are, regardless of chances of winning.
i mean black voter participation has consistently been lower than that of white people. also the political challenge before the radical left isn't actually participation in the voting process since, vote or no vote, there's not yet a revolutionary movement of the working class that people can channel their energy through.
I am once again asking black voters to stop participating in a system that still exploits them for democrat votes.
They aren't black if they don't vote for Biden, Jack!
Who did you vote for in 2020m
Nobody once Bernie dropped out of the primary.
Why didn't you vote for PSL or some other self-described socialist or communist?

Then why shame black people for voting Dem when you yourself won't vote for alternatives?

i mean black voter participation has consistently been lower than that of white people. also the political challenge before the radical left isn't actually participation in the voting process since, vote or no vote, there's not yet a revolutionary movement of the working class that people can channel their energy through.
It's bad that democrats are not defending the right to vote
so here is what you should do
not vote

You could also just actualize your vote via kinetic methods
I appreciate trying to apply the best interpretation but this seems to preclude that reading
