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.
