I like the Socialist Workers Party.

Local and state elections are important, but presidential campaigns can bring attention to third-party issues that are often ignored by the major parties. Building from the bottom up and the top down simultaneously strengthens the movement and shows that third parties are serious about representing the working class at every level of government.

I’m hoping that the higher profile and positive support that De la Cruz’s campaign is getting, lets them focus on other elections after this election passes.

Exactly! I was just saying the same thing in another post!

The idea that a third party isn’t a real choice under FPTP is a tactic used by the ruling duopoly to keep people feeling powerless. If we dismiss third-party candidates, we’re only allowing the same two parties to hold a monopoly on political power.

Real choice comes from breaking free of this system and standing up for the alternatives that truly represent us.

Meh, that’s how they make their money. Clicks and views.

I agree it’d be nice if they were a bit more creative though.

Once again, the duopoly strikes, proving they’re terrified of giving working people a real choice at the ballot box.

I actually agree with a lot of what you’re saying. Automation can be a fantastic thing if it’s used to benefit everyone, not just the capitalist class. The issue is not opposing automation but ensuring that the gains are shared fairly, so no one is left behind.

The problem isn’t automation itself; it’s how it’s being used. Workers are being replaced without any thought for their well-being or fair compensation.

We need to fight for a system where automation frees us up for better lives, not just fatter profits for the few.

We should be fighting for a reasonable share of the fruits of our community. If your job is automated, you should get a share of the company profits for life and then happily leave for new and different work, not try to prevent the automation in the first place.

Yep, I want that for us too!

your only recourse is to ignore

I don’t have to explain anything to you.

but you have actually “explained” yourself quite adequately

Then why keep asking? Stay mad. I don’t care. :)

Because both Democrats and Republicans seem united on one front: reducing your options when it comes to voting, not expanding them.

I don’t have to explain anything to you. Thanks.

Yep!

to understand what your motivation is in that regard.

I don’t have to explain anything to you.

I don’t know what that means.

Thanks! I get a LOT of hate and variations of “U must suck Putin’s cock” type of comments, but hey it’s expected. People are pretty afraid of change and losing their power.

I’m glad you’re here too! We’re all gonna make it, brother.

Totally fucking agree with this. Well said!

introducing a third party, which the US desperately needs.

Very much so.

This is a great post! Well said!

Sure, but the current duopoly doesn’t really want us to have that.

I don’t have to explain my actions to you. I didn’t write the article.

It’s another form of voter suppression, decades of people being told their votes do not matter is why we have 100 million people that do not vote.

Exactly!
