Literally expand your political imagination outside of the presidency please. Democrats are doing genocide right now, things are going to keep getting worse the longer we don't build up a mass workers party. You can vote for Harris in November but building up a counter to Democrats and Republicans should be your primary concern.
The primary concern is keeping Repubs from taking over and ending elections, a prerequisite for your mass workers party to be viable. I would love to vote for that. Until the nation soundly rejects Repub fascism or changes to a sane voting system it isn't really an option.
Lol worker's parties don't need bourgeois elections to win power. See, China, ussr, Cuba
I find this quite disingenuous. No one said that they are only thinking about the presidency? I sure as hell am not. I do everything I can in my local area to have socialist and leftist candidates representing me. A thing I have a tangible effect on. I also don't want to get labeled a child molester and be executed come January due to project 2025. Harm reduction is a real and valid goal. Just because someone wants that doesn't mean they aren't trying to do other things that can help
Expand your political imagination, this isn't enough if you want to fight fascism.
