Electoralism, in terms of actually getting good people elected, is a dead issue. The game is completely rigged both inside and outside the D-corporate wing of the two-headed Ruling Party, and you only need look as far as the two Sanders campaigns, or the more recent Nina Turner situation, to know it.

There’s still one marginal reason to support candidates, and that’s to shift awareness.

This point, among many other interesting ones, is made eloquently by Marianne Williamson in conversation with Briahna Joy Gray.

The Green Party has completely lost its way, and even if that were not true, I can’t be a member any more anyway, because they fucked up their status as a real party in my state. I got mail from the voting people that said they were shifting me to Independent,

In advance of the midterms, I’ll probably go back to putting a D after my name, not because I have any use at all for that corrupt and vile organization, but only as a vehicle for launching protest votes from within it during primaries. Such as my Sanders votes. Such as, for anyone who primaries Krysten Sinema. Such as, for Marianne Williamson for President, should she run again, and it sure sounds like she’s gonna.

And should the People’s Party manage to find its ass, using two hands no doubt, I can still launch protest votes from without, in the General. Or even if they can’t, I guess–I could write in a dead hero of the class struggle. Here’s to you, President Charles Bukowski.

I swore an oath before I cast my Biden ballot last year. I said: fine, but unless you turn out to be for real, Uncle Joe, it’s a straight up No to you or your friend Kamala in ’24.

Shockingly! he turned out to be exactly what he appeared to be, a corporatist bag of shit, useless for anything that matters to me or my life.

I’ll be keeping my promise. Go Team Marianne, not because she has any chance against the forces of darkness, but because she at least speaks of hope credibly, which is more than I can say for any of the rest of the lying cuntwaffles doing political PR for the military-industrial complex from DC.
