PSL if its an option, Greens otherwise since they're the only other anti-war candidate. Only reason I'll be voting is for the ballot initiatives though, might as well check the box next to the least demonic party while I'm at it.
Ignoring that Electoralism is trapped thinking and actual change happens outside the outlined political apparatus via building pressure and organizing, of course...
Claudia De La Cruz, representing the Party for Socialism and Liberation, is by far the best candidate on the ballot in my opinion. If you live in a swing state, sure, vote for Biden if you really want to, but if you live in a non-swing state there isn't any point in voting for Biden (not that there is much of a point in voting for Biden in a swing state to begin with, of course).
Jill Stein is alright, but the greens are no vanguard party and PSL has both better organization and politics.
I doubt PSL will be on the ballet in my state which sucks.
I love Jill Stein and a lot of the Greens (they are surprisingly strong in parts of the Midwest). That saidz PSL will be getting my vote this year. I see a little more momentum building up with them this year, with those PSL posters popping up and many PSL members making material improvements in my town.
I ain't voting for shit
Except maybe for my nations annual budget proposal. This year there's more money for housing, water purification, casino improvements and plugging of orphan oil wells.
No way the Democrats will win Florida. They refuse to do anything besides fundraise here. Rick Scott can go to the Hispanic and Haitian communities and go
because that's how bad the advertising and outreach game is for the so-called "party of diversity."Is PSL going to get on the Florida ballot this year?
They are pursuing ballot access there, last election they were in the ballot so i think they will get in again
I’m voting for Claudia de la Cruz, and I’m doing it because voting for a socialist makes me feel good.
I went back and forth on voting for La Riva or Hawkins back in 2020. I ultimately settled on Hawkins purely because it seemed smart - La Riva was on so few ballots, I was hoping the Greens would do well enough to be a spoiler (didn’t happen).
While in the end it really doesn’t matter, afterward I was kinda kicking myself for voting my head and not my heart. I often reflect on my own political journey - and how I’ve been all over the spectrum but I finally feel at home calling myself a communist, and I know this is where I’ll settle in for the rest of my life. Voting PSL - even though again, it doesn’t actually mean anything in the big picture - is like a sort of self-validation of who I am now. So I’ve been planning to vote PSL since then, and I feel very proud to do so.
I'm voting green. I think PSL has a better platform, but green is more likely to get enough of a vote that anybody notices that people are voting third party.
This is all splitting hairs. The national election takes up way too much room in the public conscious, and the primary reason you should vote is to keep "tough on crime" psychopaths and evangelical Christian cultists out of local government roles, particularly county sheriff, district attorney, and school board.
I'm mainly voting to keep the crazies out of school boards. Those races can get scary close, and they don't have party affiliations listed on the ballots, so it's important for me to actualy talk to my neighbors and tell them which specific people to vote for.
Some of my state an national level Dem reps are decent, and I'll vote for them. The rest are... typical Dems, which means pro-genocide scratched liberals.
Dunno. I'll probably go vote for local shit bc there's usually ballot initiatives.
