can i offer the alternative perspective that there are a lot of 3rd parties and amerikkkan political and class consciousness is so low that none of them have ever been more than modestly and regionally successful?
that’s essentially what’s been happening to elect more socialist-sympathetic politicians. if your goal is to get the genocide and wars to stop as a step towards greater consciousness, i personally don’t find it to be some wholehearted betrayal of ideological purity to try and get people elected who have made concrete vows to stop funding the war and genocide.
None of that is true. So far what they’ve got are people who aren’t socialism sympathic but seemingly anti-socialist politicians who find funding Israel carte blanche distasteful. It’s so distasteful to everyone you might pull some liberals left with it even, saying only the socialists will actually end it by doing more than just a military boycott of Israel. Instead the opposite is happening and you’re pulling leftists right to get them to vote for liberals claiming they’ll totally stop funding Israel with AOC-likes.
