is it a sign that you're a member of the compatible left if the oligarchy is funding your movement?

    there are so many and it makes sense why -- most on us on this side of the planet have to figure out what revolutionary means without the benefit of study structured around the collective experiences of the people who tried & succeeded before them.

    on top of that, would be revolutionaries in the us empire attack each other in defense of our misguided beliefs that compatible leftists like cornel or piker or platner are the path forward and it makes me pessimistic that it'll get worse before it gets better.

    yet another example of why we need ranked choice voting or some kind of preferential voting system where it's not possible to "split the vote"

    Tankie splitter.

    West stated that he believed the Russian invasion of Ukraine was "a criminal invasion, provoked by the expansion of NATO, which is an instrument of U.S. global power" and described the war as a "proxy war between the American Empire and the Russian Federation".[97][98]

    West's campaign received extensive support from Republican and Trump allies to stay on the ballot in swing states in hope that he would take votes from Kamala Harris.[126][127][128] West expressed ambivalence about the support from Republicans.[126]

    So, Green MAGA. That was literally Jill Stein's strategy.

    Jill Stein's strategy was to stroke her ego and raise money to waste.

    The Green Party may be a serious enterprise in other countries, but in the United States it mostly just serves as a punchline.

    I could see if we were to put ranked choice in everywhere, then start trying to mount things like the Green Party.

    But instead we have a goofy candidate show up on the presidential ballot every 4 years, some with strange foreign ties and Republicans funding them. Almost zero candidates at the local level.

    And we can thank them for things like W and donnie.

    It does if you register. Small news outlets got to be funded somehow.

    It literally only requires registration, not money. Deal with it

    I delt with it by reporting to mods and down voting.

    And also telling you about this problem. Please stop harming our communities by posting content that can't be read by everyone.
