I figure I’ll vote PSL again like I did last time since they seem to be among the most principled leftist parties we have in this hellscape. I’ve seen a lot of support for Jill Stein but iirc she has some very weird reactionary conspiracy-brained views. How we feeling? Is 
running this time around?
edit: to be clear I assume most of the based parties will not be on the ballot in most states, I’ve written in my picks before and I’ll do it again KKKopmala 
I am writing in
I was honestly leaning toward voting for Kamala after the Walz pick but after that reichy ass convention and declaring their bottomless well of support for the zionist entity in no uncertain terms, it’s back to voting PSL in a swing state for me
I was waiting for discussions with the Uncommitted project to conclude. I’d been saying I’d vote for Kamala if she fully supported an arms embargo. And of course there was wishy washy messaging that she was considering it. But yeah the DNC speech made it clear that she’ll be continuing the Democrats’ fun little trick of doing Republican border policy and funding genocide in Palestine.
, right?
PSL
I don’t think PSL is gonna make it on the ballot in my state, so im trying to decide between Lenin, Stalin, and Mao.
Obvs for local shit it different but those are my presidential picks. Stalin is really irking me these days cause he just HAD to stop at Berlin :eye-roll:
Oh and ask to why, because none of the parties on my states ballot seem to represent my interests.

If no good parties are on the ballot I will write in
with RGB as VPRuth Gader Binsburg
Ruth Green Blue
It’s HER turn
I was assured Joe Biden was the only one who could beat Trump and save democracy. So I’m Still With Him.
The owner of the local game store in my area is a green. So I have got to personally meet Dr.Stein, Ralph Nader, and Howie Hawkins. So I tend to vote green. However New York made it where parties have to cross a voting threshold in elections in order to remain on the ballot. This has made it so I have to vote green in every election.
I’m planning to vote green because they’re more likely than PSL to hit a high enough vote count that people actually report on it, which is the most I can expect from my presidential vote.
It’s frustrating to me that third parties with mutual interests e.g. Palestine don’t form coalitions like the left did in France this last election. Yes, the left coalition in France has its problems, but they kept the far right and the liberal party away from outright power which is pretty astonishing. A Green/PSL/Other minor parties ticket dubbed ‘Palestine’ or ‘Workers’ or similar would at least stand a better chance of getting on the ballot in the first place, a threshold almost none of these parties are able to overcome.
If psl is on my ballot I’ll vote for them, but if not I might vote green or just not vote at all idk I’ve given up lmao
just don’t vote for kamala, people
write in Matt Christman
Writing in Bernie just to piss off multiple groups at once.
PSL if they’re on the ballot in my state by the election, either Stein or leaving it blank if they’re not.
If I was in a state where presidential elections mattered, I’d probably be at a toss up between PSL and the Greens, if I was in a state where presidential elections don’t matter (which I am) and gave a shit about presidential elections I’d probably vote for vermin supreme.
That said I live in a state where presidential elections don’t matter anyways and I don’t really give a shit about presidential elections, so I’m not wasting energy on writing anyone in
aw are you sure you don’t want to go write in Joseph Robinette Biden, the one man we’ve been assured can beat trump?
I’d sooner write in Jeb!, the every-american american
:please-clap:
Was going to flip a coin between PSL and Green because there’s nobody else to vote for, or write myself in. IDK about Jill Stein’s reactionary views, what are they?
I just found that her NATOpedia article is surprisingly thorough on her positions. She claimed at one point that wifi signals damage peoples’ brains (that’s the main thing I was remembering) but waved it off later, and at one point was flirting with anti-vax stuff but seems to have backpedaled on that. She’s also staunchly anti-nuclear-power which seems silly though I’m not very informed about that subject. She’s way more based than I thought tbh but PSL is a better party
The PSL is also anti nuclear, but in the “nuclear power is built on exploitation of mines in Africa” kind of way.
Honestly, I saw an article recently that said China is building the equivalent of a nuclear plant every week in renewable energy, so nuclear seems kind of obsolete at this point anyway.
They’re testing thorium molten salt reactors and those seem like a cool advancement in energy generation
I’m not a nuclear scientist, so idk… maybe? But China has the productive forces already developed to implement solar on a massive scale today, and I think that’s the example the rest of the world needs to learn from.
China recently opened a thorium test reactor IIRC, hopefully they can make it efficiently scalable and start exporting them with Belt & Road stuff.
china confirmed reddit power source country
also the USA has good places for big solar farms in for example california, no need for nuclear
Everything I’ve ever heard Jill Stein say about stuff like vaccines has been skeptical of corporate manufacture and oversight and capture of regulatory agencies, not skeptical of vaccines themselves
I wouldn’t be surprised if the wifi thing were similar, skepticism because, well, can you trust the companies making money off of wifi to do their due diligence in determining safety? (the answer is no, but that doesn’t mean wifi isn’t safe)
