On the contrary, we would be counting on it. The sooner this charade of bourg electoral politics is totally publicly disgraced, the sooner average people will warm up to the idea of using other means to improve their lives. But first they have to get utterly shit on for trying to do it by the book, so that nobody has any illusions about the necessity of what comes next.
Either get comfortable with a great many fed-posty concepts, or leave the country and renounce Amerikanness at the first possible juncture; because there is no combatting the atomization in the way of mass organization; and there is no getting a mass organization of Amerikans comfortable with doing a great many fed-posty things.
These crackers will simply wear the title of genocider if it means they get to stay comfortable. The screams of their victims never bothered them anyway.
That series of tweets seem completely delusional. Jill Stein has no leverage to speak of, the Democrats will not be punished for carrying out a genocide, and will never compromise on their pro genocide principles. What victory does this person even want? To 'prove to americans that the Dems will throw them under the bus'? That's been the Democratic party platform for at least 30 years now.
Let's say there's a palestinian american who, somehow, does not yet know that the Democrats wants them dead. What are they gonna do after Jill Stein uses her great and incredible leverage and the Dems tell her to fuck off? Write Jill Stein in? Lmao.
Jill Stein has about as much leverage on the Democrats as liberal arab-israelis have on Netanyahu's government.
Noura is making a bad faith argument to sabatoge the Greens. In doing so being a tool of the Democrats and exposing herself. Why would the Democrats all the sudden do an about face because Noura was on the Green ticket? That makes no damned sense. Doesn't she realize the Democrats DO NOT GIVE A SHIT about Noura or the Palestinians?
Her being on the Green ticket will not magically get the Dems to give a shit or have any leverage over the Dems. They are already pumping out commericals to target RFK Never Trumpers which are perfectly fine with the genocide.
They are not caring one damned bit about Green voters or for that matter. All Noura was doing was being a DNC tool to "set the menu" on the ballot to remove the Green Party form even being an option. This was a dirty trick by the DNC and I'm glad Jill smelt it and didn't fall for the trap.
I’m over a squishy Socdem party, I do not care about 5 percent, and I know even less about euro greens (besides how much they love imperialism)
People in Michigan may do as they wish, but since I am not there, if I'm “wasting” my vote on a third party, it’s not going to be the second best that partially overlaps with my values
Can we just stop bothering with running 3rd party left-wing presidential candidates? Obviously you will never win, but also you won't "build awareness" either. All that Jill Steins years of campaigning have achieved is convincing normies that she's a Russian agent or something.
I don't want to be overly critical of the PSL, but honestly I feel the same way about their presidential campaign. Yes, I'm sure it makes some people feel good when they vote socialist. But where is the actual awareness building? PSL gained a lot of members and attention in my area after the early Palestine protests. They have not gained anything from this presidential campaign that probably takes a bunch of their organizers time.

i've never understood why they bother running for president when they have no presence in state-level politics
I assume it's mostly the power of marketing. PSL has its hand in a lot of activism. They're becoming a name in struggling communities while also showing up on a larger stage.
But I'm not in the PSL, I just do some work with them.
Even if it's a bad idea on the face of it, surely having national news plastered with "third party influences two party state policy for first time" would be beneficial for said party based? (if it worked of course)
