      There is a joke I could make here but I worry that it would be disrespectful to the dead.

          Well, the running mate's gonna need to constantly carry a Ouija board, but I suppose it's all worth it for the campaign slogan "I burn for XYZ"

              I like to imagine that Bushnell is reading Hexbear from the Beautiful Shore, and just lightly exhaled from her nose.

                  Make of this what you will: https://www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-news/bushnell-gaza-immolation-protest-trans-identity

                  It seems very likely that she chose to die presenting as a cis man because if she'd martyred herself as herself, her death would just be seen as "hurr durr 41%" or whatever. But of course plenty of people say that it's "disrespectful" to gender her as feminine because "[s]he chose how [s]he'd be remembered", or "[s]he's already dead so there's no way to ever know for certain", or "it's disrespectful of the dead to invade their private lives in the search of evidence", or "maybe [s]he was just in a gender-questioning phase", or "this one person who knew Bushnell personally said [s]he wasn't trans", and just generally the same shit we've already heard about K. Cobain for years.

    I'm not voting Green to do "damage control" aka kick the can like vote maybe-later-honey crowd does. I'm voting green because thier policies are my demand.....and to see the libs cry when they lose a swing state by margins less than the Green Party which they casually write off anyways. did-someone

    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.

    (Bushnell is obviously a hero and legend. Palestine will be free.)

    Why would anyone vote Green over PSL. Even if they aren’t on the ballot you could write it in
