On the ballot in 19 states totalling 220 electoral college votes.
Who wants to tell them you need 270 to win?

- In case others need to hear this, please don’t vote third party. Even to start a revolution or whatever. It’s an incredibly privileged position to be able to endanger LGBTQ, immigrants, and women’s rights because you want to send a message. Vote Dem and back ranked choice or you may get the revolution the other way.
  
  Most of the people voting for alternative parties are themselves LGBTQ, immigrants, and women.
  
  Don't vote for genociders. It is an incredibly privileged position to vote for someone genociding an entire people as if it is just a normal election year.
  And don't kid yourself on what Dems will do. They don't actually fight for any of that particularly hard because they know you will vote for them anyways, even I'd they commit genocide. In fact, the thing to do if you care about others' welfare is to demonstrate that you are not an automatic lever pull, that you require real concessions. Otherwise you are just a cheerleader for their entire program indefinitely, and that includes genocide.
  
  I just don't understand why we can't start the exact same revolution these people want during the primaries. It would make much more sense to win over/capture the party and then push that platform in the general. You get real power to get actual shit done without risking fascism by letting the GOP win due to the spoiler effect.
  If someone can make the "revolution is necessary" argument, that should be a perfectly acceptable plan. I think they just want complete collapse so they can try and rebuild, which is complete psychopathic nonsense.
  
  the dems are treating immigrants just as badly and deporting even more, they did nothing to protects womens rights to abortions or to protect lgbtq people and they are actively supporting a FUCKING GENOCIDE in case u forgot. They dont deserve a single fucking vote. If they lose and i doubt they will maybe it will teach them not to be genocidal at the very least.
  
  It's an incredibly privledged position to intentionally decide to sacrifice Palestinians and support a genocidal regime, one that is failing to assist the rights of queer people, women, and immigrants, and one that is failing to adequately address climate change, and is working towards World War 3.
  back ranked choice
  Would not fix the problem that candidates are filtered and preselected
  Will never pass at meaningful numbers
  Neither party wants RCV
- Do you think they are running because they expect to win? Are you familiar at all with the Marxist view of Electoralism?
  
  They aren't going to end capitalism if they don't win.
  The best they can hope to do is take votes away from Harris ensuring a Trump win, which is 180° the opposite of their message.

This is just a picture.

  I am loving it apart from the stance on china and russia.
  For clarity, they have the consensus stance among Marxists, which is in line with the rest of their platform as Marxist-Leninists.
  The is U.S. is at peace with russia and china.
  Not quite. The U.S. is constantly hostile to Russia ever since it threw off the Western financial monopolists who looted the USSR's former state assets, and the US has become increasingly hostile with China ever since it became increasingly clear that China was never going to become a free-market paradise for the West to loot like they did the Russian Federation, to the point of preparing for war with the PRC by 2027.
  In the meanwhile the two countries eye their neighbours in order to seize up as much land as they can
  That's certainly the western view the media would have you believe, though it's worth noting that China especially has been incredibly peaceful since its founding, while the US has been at near constant war. It's largely projection and manufacturing consent for said war with China.
  Russia already started seizing land of a sovereign nation. Or do these people believe that russia is "anti-capitalist"?
  Russia is 100% a right-wing Capitalist nightmare, but in throwing off predatory Western Finance it is more nationalist, and stands against Imperialism as Marxists understand it (specifically a form of international monopolist Capitalism based on extraction).
  Do not get me wrong, i am also in favor of cutting military budget but this is something that needs to happen globally or will simply mean that some countries are free to bully others (which, fair enough, the U.S. tended to do a lot).
  The US is the number 1 bully because it is the largest Imperialist power in the world, hence the current genocide in Palestine through its vassel Israel.
