Well I can't exactly quote CNN for you to show you the counter to Western propaganda, can I? Tell me a "legit source" that isn't skewed by Western media.

I've lived in the Tampa Bay area my entire life, never evacuated before, and I left last night. Fuck Milton. Not worth riding this one out.

Because propaganda is effective.

This was just a ploy so he could kiss some hot models.

Vanya did transition to Victor in the show.

I mean, yeah. The only way to reform the system is from within the system. Here in lies the ultimate issue with the left: all I ever hear is criticisms and no solutions. We have two options, reform or revolution. Revolution is nearly impossible. So if it's reform, people need to be elected into the system to make the changes. There is no reform without elections. Even if we were to organize something big like a general strike, it would only make the bourgeoisie afraid. Real changes are legislative and that means elections. Unless you've got a better idea, in which case, please share with the class.

Getting a third party to win is the first step into breaking the US political duopoly and fixing the broken electoral system. The first changes a third party will make is regulations that allow third party wins in the future. It's about making progress towards the left. Democrats do not represent progress, but an upholding of the same tired political duopoly that gives capitalists power. The green party, regardless of whatever ideals you still hate about them, are very intent on changing the electoral system and ending the duopoly.

They use that argument because it's valid and holds weight. The only other option besides bringing in a third party with ballot access is violent revolution and that was a lot cooler of an idea before drones existed.

That's dumb. If you think the greens are just as bad as the Dems, then your brain is broken. PSL has ballot access in 17 states and they're the only other leftists running a candidate. Green party has more ballot access in 37 states and holds a significantly higher chance of meaning anything. But maybe in another 3 or 4 election cycles the PSL will have the ballot access that the greens do now.

They are the leftist party available.

I work with the UAW and I'm reaching out to anyone in the St. Pete or greater Tampa Bay area about organizing your workplace. If you're unhappy with your wages, hours, or working conditions; please reach out. I would love to help organize your workplace. I've lived in Pinellas county my entire life and working class people are being priced out of their homes here. With the rising cost of living, we need to band together to demand better wages and force our employers to pay us what we're worth. Lets bring the labor movement down to St. Pete and stop job hopping from one sweat shop to another. I don't care what industry you work in, I just want to help you organize. United we bargain, divided we beg.
