    I did. For Jill.

    All Kamala had to do was say ‘we won’t fund the genocide’ but instead of winning back support from the base, she pivoted to the right for those mythical undecided republicans. She will lose. Dems will blame Stein and Russia and Bernie Bros and Nader whatever.

    Remember the democrats can’t fail, they can only be failed.

      These are the presidential candidates on the Oregon Ballot.

      Kamala Harris / Tim Walz (D)
      Donald Trump / J.D. Vance (R)
      Randall Terry (no running mate) (Constitution Party)
      Chase Oliver / Mike ter Maat (L)
      Jill Stein / Butch Ware (Pacific Green Party)
      Cornel West (no running mate) (Progressive Party)
      Robert F. Kennedy Jr. / Nicole Shanahan (We the People)
      

      I don’t agree with Cornel West on everything, but I’m pretty sure he is anti-genocide, same as Jill Stein.

      Additionally while federal electoralism is a waste of time, building socialism can be supported at the local level, so certainly do that.

      Here in Chicago I’m voting for my teachers union supported school board members, preventing capitalism from further ruining public schooling.

      There’s no electoral college for the ballot measures and local offices.

      The president is not the most important office that we vote for

          Correct. But in Oregon if you got 400k people to vote for someone else besides Biden in 2020, then your votes would have counted enough to shift the state. If you got ~1.2million people to support the PSL or something, you could have ensured that Oregon could have gone to a non-genocide party in 2020.
