Abortion is on the ballot in ten states that isn't good for Republicans at all. Expect to see way more trolls talking about how they are suddenly voting for the green party despite there being an actual socialist candidate to vote for. Republicans are desperate and know they're in for big losses if they can't pull something out.
Wait... Who is the socialist candidate?
Claudia de la Cruz literally running in the socialism and liberation party.
Oh hey, another third party candidate coming out of the woodwork to run for president despite no experience in political office. I'm all for socialist candidates, but they should set their sights a little lower and start with County Commissioner or something to build experience.
0% chance that a truly progressive candidate will win the general election without 1. significant experience themselves and 2. significant progressive representation in Congress and state offices. If the "both sides" parties can't navigate the gridlock when they're supposedly on the same team, how on Earth is an outsider going to get anything remotely effective accomplished without massive support from the legislative branch?
Vote progressive down ticket and in local elections. When we have a healthy progressive bloc in Congress, then we can seriously consider a progressive presidential candidate. And for the love of God, they need actual experience first(Senator, Governor, Attorney General, something).
To be clear I'm not advocating for Cruz I just think it's hilarious that people who claim to lean left are hyping up the green and not the labeled socialists.
To be honest I support my DSA locally because they actually take up council seats and attempt pushes into legislature and help with union actions.

What's this? A rational socialist voter that uses the features of the political system to gradually effect lasting change by engaging in local politics? Is that allowed?
I actually didn't realize that. Thanks!
Is the socialist candidate in the room with us right now?
Technically this is exactly what Republicans wanted, letting it be up to the states and the people.
I'm pretty sure the majority of the US does not want someone that is so far left. That's the mistake of the democrats. They are pleasing the most loyal democrats at the cost of the swing voters. The 2024 election was almost a 50/50. There is no way Harris is going to win this as it doesn't take much to make her lose. Also a lot of original Biden supports have lost faith and are considering voting for Trump.
Some back to me after the election and tell me I'm wrong
