The task is disproportionately difficult in the imperial core but i don't think it's impossible. "It always seems impossible until it's done." Mandela said that. I'm down to have someone school me and change my mind but they have to make the case beyond vague structural maneuvers. Even if that were true I'd say there's value in forcing the regime to steal it, but after what Brazil and Mexico have been able to do, I'm highly skeptical of people in leftist circles trying to discourage voting as all together hopeless.

And just to clarify I'm definitely not arguing to vote for either mainstream corporate party. I'll vote Jill Stein this time. I figure Greens have been maintaining the ballot access we may as well use it.

Hopefully my tone is not too off-putting! I am genuinely down to be shown the light but i haven't seen a convincing argument yet personally and am just frustrated with our lack of collective progress. If our efforts should be better spent elsewhere in the next 5 months I definitely want to hear about that! Keep fighting, comrades.
