Try telling the Palestinians in Ghaza about how much better a Democratic Party Presidency would be than a Republican Party is not doable
� If Harris is feeling the pressure of the Palestinian solidarity movement then fine, so will any other President. What is important is not the election but the movement and its force. � However, there is an alternative, one that will present an actual principled programme, got arrested for saying it out load at a demo and won’t sacrifice her position for the sake of a plum appointment, like Bernie Sanders. Dr Jill Stein is also a Jewish Anti-Zionist. So chill with Jill, or Dr Cornel West. � The strategy is to break down the US electoral 2-party schema. If neither party wins a majority, due to alternative voting of 2-5%, then neither can claim to represent the US Peoples as a whole. As such the façade of democracy melts away to reveal class antagonism and national chauvinism which require the national-cultural autonomy of all national minorities. This is the Bundist constitutional methodology. � Dr abrahim � � � � � � � � � From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of John Reimann via groups.io Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2024 11:35 AM To: Marxmail <[email protected]> Subject: [marxmail] Don't support Jill Stein for president: a reply to Howie Hawkins � While any serious person is horrified at the prospect of a Trump/Vance presidency, some on the left are actually arguing that it won’t make that much of a difference. One would think that these people don’t matter, but they do. For one thing, even a swing of one or two percent in the vote in a few key states can determine who gets elected. In the second place, it’s impossible to build a real resistance to MAGA if we don’t really understand or underestimate its threat. A recent article in New Politics is an example of the twisted thinking of much of the left. The article is by Howie Hawkins, who was a founding member of the Green Party and that party’s candidate for president in 2020. Hawkins argues that socialists should support the Green Party’s Jill Stein in 2024 rather than vote to keep Trump out. Hawkins basically makes three arguments: First, that Jill Stein’s candidacy won’t help Trump get elected because those who will vote for Stein wouldn’t vote for Biden (now Harris) anyway; second that it doesn’t make that much difference whether Trump or Biden/Harris is elected; and third that Stein’s apologies for Putin in and of themself don’t disqualify her for any consideration. (Note: The same points made below also apply to the West/Abdullah presidential campaign.)
