Our convention is the CPUSA's highest decision-making body. Tune in to hear the main report from co-chair Joe Sims as we plan ahead for the fight against mon...
I don’t think Biden has full control over the Israelis in this case, though he could do much more than what he’s doing, but I think that Trump would just double-down on the genocide and make it harder to organize in the United States with Project 2025.
I’m sorry, this is a dodge. You defended Sims by claiming he’s trying to prevent Reagan, who did more with one single phone call than Joe Biden has done in nine months of murder. Reagan would be an improvement over Biden as regards Gaza, full stop.
Reagan is dead and Trump would be worse than Biden, I feel. I already live in a red state. It is much worse than when it was blue. Glenn Youngkin is ever worse than Trump.
Trump would be like Reagan in that he would herald another conservative “revolution” in his midst.
Then please thread the needle for me here. You say Trump would be worse than Biden, and you consider preventing Trump to be of the highest importance. How does that inform actions?
I know you’re kind of busy with other things, but this all still bothers me quite a lot. Of course the people decide, they always do, but it is the job of the vanguard party to try to lead them to the best decision. Saying “Oops, vote as you will” is tailism, it is failing to lead, and what they are actually saying, “Vote to stop Trump getting elected” is overtly reactionary because anyone with two brain cells understands this to be a direction to vote for Biden. This unconditional support of the Democratic Party is in service of the maintenance of neoliberalism, no matter how nice you think the guy’s speeches are
Edit: Just to avoid spamming you:
Trump will do the genocide as well and probably double-down
You and every liberal says this, but how do you justify it? How can you say Trump will do more when Biden already sends tens of billions of “lethal aid” to Israel? You’re just assuming that if Biden sends X, Trump will send 2X, but I have never seen any substantiation for this claim even though liberals constantly make it.
I am not a liberal though. This was done with analysis and Trump is a staunch Zionist and has even voiced support for Netanyahu, unrelenting support, even as Biden at least puts in a word about genocide.
So I can understand the Communist Party’s position to not repeat the same mistake they made in the 1980s with allowing Reagan to win.
It was wrong of us to run in Presidential elections and not try to help block Reagan.

So you’re endorsing a vote for Biden, is that correct?
I am not.

I think it’s up to the people to decide. I’ll vote for Claudia de la Cruz, as I’ve said elsewhere.
I think if your primary intent is to prevent Trump, voting third party does not make rational sense.
This is just my personal decision; I know others will vote for Biden.
