Don't fall for the false dichotomy. You have more than two options.

I'm saying that during a revolution, authoritarian type people tend to grab power.

I hope you have a better reason than "trust me bro" because this literally always happens

this is the most pro union ticket in decades. if you want progress, the path is collective labor power. it's how we won the weekend and the 40 hour work week. it's how we won paid lunch breaks (which are now being lost in many places). it's how we earned paid maternity and paternity leave. if you want things to get better and stay better, join a union, STRIKE and just keep building coalition and class consciousness.

Works like a charm to expose the fakers.

Every. Single. Time. :)

It's a shit voting system. But the election is happening. How to effect a mass general strike large enough to change the voting system and introduce a new candidate with a chance of winning within two months?

Because that is needed in order to safely tell people not to vote.

Okay, and how do you plan to get them into the hearts and minds of around 50% of the population in the next 2 months, when the vast majority haven't even heard of her? It's not enough to have someone who could be a good president, you also need to get people to vote for them. If you want most of the population to vote for someone, they need to be aware of them as a viable option years beforehand.

I agree that the 2 choices are pawns of the rich, but even if every person who knew about Claudia voted for her, she wouldn't even get enough votes for her to make the news, much less win. We're talking about tens of millions of people voting in unison for an election win to happen in this country. At this stage in the game, there are only 2 candidates with that kind of draw power. If you want to focus on the 2028 election (assuming there is one, since there clearly won't be if Trump wins) to get a 3rd viable candidate on that ballot, that's a noble plan, but by now this election's potential winners are already down to 2.

Voting isn't about closing your eyes and saying "I want someone good to win!" It's about assessing which people might actually win, and voting for the one that best aligns with your views, however loosely. It's about strategy. If you want to change that, you need to build national presence in the name of your preferred candidate, and you need to start years ahead of the elections. Big changes don't happen at the ballot, they happen during the campaigning stage and beforehand. If your candidate isn't on the news every day leading up to the election, most voters won't even know they're an option.

Mod removed their comment which is telling and seems to confirm what their comment was asking.

Not a single one is communist, so what’s your point?

Ah yes, a single random data point having nothing to do with the original post. You've convinced me.

This list isn't by percentage with a home - it excludes people who rent, so all this shows is that nobody rents their home in China

My brother in christ, these are all dictatorships
