“The election has already started. Absentee ballots have been sent. We need to catch up rapidly. We need everyone here to get active. We need to be clear about what our goals are. We are not in a position to win the White House, but we do have a real opportunity to win something historic, we could deny Kamala Harris the state of Michigan. And the polls show that most likely Harris cannot win the election without Michigan.”
Former Seattle City Council member and prominent Indian-American political activist Kshama Sawant made that clear at a recent event. Sawanta is against the Democratic and Republican parties, and she’s the founder of Workers Strike Back, which opposes the war in Gaza and calls for a ceasefire.
She spoke at a Stein campaign rally right before introducing Stein.
This is the right response, here. Everybody knows the existing “left” third parties are all either actively steered by 3-letter agencies or only relevant because the main parties get to sponsor them as spoilers for each other.
I wish I had the kind of confidence to make claims like this with a straight face. Politicians are so weird.
