how could comprador party USA do this
What about it?
I don't mind, tbh.
You don't mind that CPUSA supports genocide and is telling their members to also actively support genocide? For real?
I don't think the CPUSA said that.
Did you read the link? Does the party co chair not represent the party?
He is indeed a representative of the party.
I don't think he said that we should support a genocide. I've talked with him a few times. He is very much against the genocide.
Then why did he say to support the guy who is funding and supporting the genocide? Why did he condemn the victims of the genocide?
He did not condemn the victims of the genocide. We are anti-genocide, especially against the genocide of the Palestinians.
And Joe Sims does not support Biden. He is trying to "block" Trump and prevent another Reagan, which he lived through.
We've actually been gaining new applications since the start of the convention.
I hope that you will at least consider the other side of the story here.
He is trying to "block" Trump and prevent another Reagan, which he lived through.
Reagan is literally to Biden's left on the genocide. Reagan actually picked up the phone, told the Israelis they were conducting a holocaust, and they stopped.
I don't think Biden has full control over the Israelis in this case, though he could do much more than what he's doing, but I think that Trump would just double-down on the genocide and make it harder to organize in the United States with Project 2025.
I'm sorry, this is a dodge. You defended Sims by claiming he's trying to prevent Reagan, who did more with one single phone call than Joe Biden has done in nine months of murder. Reagan would be an improvement over Biden as regards Gaza, full stop.
I assure you it's not a dodge.
Reagan is dead and Trump would be worse than Biden, I feel. I already live in a red state. It is much worse than when it was blue. Glenn Youngkin is ever worse than Trump.
Trump would be like Reagan in that he would herald another conservative "revolution" in his midst.
So you're endorsing a vote for Biden, is that correct?
I am not.
Then please thread the needle for me here. You say Trump would be worse than Biden, and you consider preventing Trump to be of the highest importance. How does that inform actions?
I think it's up to the people to decide. I'll vote for Claudia de la Cruz, as I've said elsewhere.
I think if your primary intent is to prevent Trump, voting third party does not make rational sense.
This is just my personal decision; I know others will vote for Biden.
I know you're kind of busy with other things, but this all still bothers me quite a lot. Of course the people decide, they always do, but it is the job of the vanguard party to try to lead them to the best decision. Saying "Oops, vote as you will" is tailism, it is failing to lead, and what they are actually saying, "Vote to stop Trump getting elected" is overtly reactionary because anyone with two brain cells understands this to be a direction to vote for Biden. This unconditional support of the Democratic Party is in service of the maintenance of neoliberalism, no matter how nice you think the guy's speeches are
Edit: Just to avoid spamming you:
Trump will do the genocide as well and probably double-down
You and every liberal says this, but how do you justify it? How can you say Trump will do more when Biden already sends tens of billions of "lethal aid" to Israel? You're just assuming that if Biden sends X, Trump will send 2X, but I have never seen any substantiation for this claim even though liberals constantly make it.
If you were anti genocide then why would you support the guy doing the genocide?
Also you clearly didn't even read the linked article where the dude blames the Palestinians for what's going on right now.
Also I am not going to try to block Trump at the cost of THE ENTIRE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE. Sure we shouldn't want Trump to be president but more than that I don't want to support am ongoing genocide.
I understand pragmatism I really do but you absolutely need to check yourself when your pragmatism comes at the cost of AN ENTIRE ETHNIC GROUP
I tried to watch some of it but that man has the charisma of a wet paper towel.
Joe Sims knows how to give a speech!
I understand others might disagree, but we gained a few new members upon that speech, just by it alone.
I'm really excited with the swell of new members we've been getting lately.
More members?! I take it back/s How many are you losing for being unreformably revisionist?
I left and several people at the district convention I attended were rightly pissed off over the vote against fascism nonsense.
