      I get what you are saying. I think the effect voting for PSL will have will vary from state to state and region to region. If your state has a decent sized PSL presence I think it would make more sense to vote for the revolutionary party.

              I disagree.

              I voted for the Green Party in '16, I was so sure that with all the discontent they would get 5% and they didn't even come close.

              I think it would be much more important to have the PSL get as many votes as they can in places with a large presence, as they do things outside the realm of electoral politics.

                But couldn't the argument be made that voting for Greens is akin to the John Oliver->Breadtube->Anarchism/Marxism pipeline? Like Green gets the 5% and more exposure, is fucked out of the federal funding and all the fervent Green voting libs can more easily get radicalised into supporting and doing activism for PSL? Just spitballing here, dunno maybe it's dumb...

                  someone else in the thread noted what happens alot of the time when a green party gains traction and I think it's a fair analysis.

                  perhaps your right, who is to say what will radicalize people, but I'd rather a socialist org doing stuff on the ground get as much support as possible.

                    Yeah obviously.
