something for you libs who still believe in electoralism
I'm glad you posted this because this was actually something I was thinking about a little more after I typed the above. I still stand by my statement that voting at all will change much of anything on a national scale, of course, but I do agree with you (and PSL) that running a campaign can at least be useful for building a broader movement. PSL does do a lot of good at the local level, and I suppose any public boost for them would assist in those efforts.
The Green Party, on the other hand, has never really shown a willingness to build a true grassroots movement, so I can't say the same about them, though I do think they have decent candidates and a good platform.
