In an interview in The Guardian, Howie Hawkins said that a good showing for his green/socialist party would be five percent:
“That qualifies us for a public campaign financing grant for the general election in 2024 for president. If we got to 5% there’d be about $20m at least waiting for our presidential ticket in 2024 ... ." At the risk of sounding like Polyanna and Jiminy Cricket combined, with a touch of Mickey Rooney, this suggests that a Trump defeat combined with Howie's five percent would create a positive condition for "pivoting" to a broad left resistance (that word again) to the center-right backstabbers and their inevitable cascade of sickening betrayals. The reason why so many find themselves voting for the Lesser Evil when they know what is going to happen as a result is that there is no mass working-class party in this country period. I think that just maybe Hawkins and his coalition could prove the nucleus of such a party. That might change the calculus completely. --Farans Kalosar -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
