organizing/putting forward socialist candidates whenever and wherever possible is already a huge contribution
:agreed:
They need the flexibility they have, and establishing themselves as a party limits what the members can do across the political board.

my last encounter with a (((black person))) was listening to an old man rant on the street about how he was going to call ICE and get the muslim family that owns the local deli deported because "they aren't REAL AMERICANS"

he was mad because they kicked him out and told him never to come back because they caught him shoplifting a bottle of watered-down liquor

Causation or Correlation?
Running with my proposed small-donor party backed by DSA, Unions, BLM, and family farmers, fill in the blanks for how the various types of voter may respond:


a disaffected Obama voter who voted Trump:
Republican Party: "Trump's doing nothing for me."
Democratic Party: "Obama did nothing for me."
Green Party: "lol"
Workers Party:

minority:
Republican Party: "lol"
Democratic Party: "Well, Obama was black, but did nothing, also 'superpredators' and for-profit-prisons"
Green Party: "lol"
Workers Party:

leftist:
Republican Party: "lol"
Democratic Party: "Obama was actually kinda lousy, plus they capitulate to corporate will or any sign of opposition, or otherwise water down policy that would benefit me"
Green Party: "hmmm, maybe"
Workers Party:

disaffected low-info/NPP/non-voter:
Republican Party: "they're full of poo poo"
Democratic Party: "they're full of poo poo"
Green Party: "lol"
Workers Party:

Say what you want about the founders, but the breeches and tights look was fly as hell. As a gentleman with shapely calves but an otherwise goony physique, I'm hoping it comes back.

Lol all the poor people are already getting pushed to the end of the BART lines and commute 2+ hrs a day to their job.

Just heard on NPR how Google buying up all that land in San Jose is a good thing because it will create a mega commuting station so poor people can commute from even further!

their only distinguishment is "does it make libs mad y/n"

do a dem/republican style rebranding if you have to

socialist hero ronald reagan always wanted single-payer, gently caress it.

literally go to the quotes from capitalists that inadvertently provide support for communism facebook page and just say things like that.
