Ultimately even with an absentee ballot I would be voting from stolen land, so this is why I am hesitant.

      upward momentum is a good motivator.

      You mean that seeing that a socialist party is doing ever better in the polls creates motivation for socialists to keep fighting?

          Yeah, I'm not exactly expecting any amount of voting to actually meaningfully change the trajectory of the USA's immediate future.

    If you’re debating between not voting and voting PSL, I would vote PSL. You can then feel a sense of accomplishment if Trump wins and a bunch of scratched liberals blame Claudia and the leftists for existing.

      You got me with that one.

      All of my lib friends will be doing this to me and one already told me I may as well vote for Trump. I've seriously reconsidered some of those relationships, but most of them are just stuck in the same place I used to be.

        Yeah! I run into the same shit with my friends as well and I chalk it up to them just being your standard grade liberals. They are not malicious about it, they just can’t break loose from the bipartisan electoralism. If I cut out all the relationships like this I would have nobody.

    I'll probably vote green, psl is not on my state ballot and I want the Dems to know they could have had my vote. And I want them to see that count and be big mad if they lose.

    If you're voting against genocide I'd probably vote green just because they have more ballot access. I'd at least consider it anyway. If they get 5% then the US is forced to give them resources in future elections, which is an achievable number in this election IMO, and would be funny if it happened.
