That is why we need to organize and mobilize where there are opportunities: local candidates like @chesaboudin who can show progressive policies work; and electoral reforms like #RankedChoiceVoting to give 3rd parties and ind’s a chance. Pres. gen. election is no opportunity yet
I never said voting for Hillary was helping the left - THERE IS NO PRESIDENTIAL OPTION TO HELP THE LEFT. The best we can do is stay out of it, focus our energy on electoral reform like #RankedChoiceVoting (on the ballot in MA and elsewhere this year), progressive local candidates

Wait - so you're arguing we shouldn't vote at all? What does THAT accomplish, given that any no-vote is immediately disregarded as voter apathy?

And - to reiterate:
#votegreen does help the left. If we get to 5%, that's matching federal funds. And if we don't get to 5%, but find evidence of election rigging? That's a plus, too. Ammo to use against the duopoly, and force changes in the system. - Show replies
