Losing, potentially, 5 votes isn’t wasting their efforts. I don’t really agree that the push for a presidential candidate is particularly worthwhile, but it’s not really my business. I’m glad I had the option to vote for PSL, but voting for president in the U$ isn’t a meaningful action.

Also PSL is nowhere near the issues of CPUSA which is a compromised party. One that regularly tails Democrats and embraces lesser evilism. On a theoretical basis CPUSA is not even in the running to be a vanguard or a party people can look to given its national leadership. I don’t care for arguments about oh local branches this or that, I’ve seen the same thing with DSA and the fact is national has too much power for that to ever really matter.

That’s kind of my point. CPUSA is way worse, but we’re still able to acknowledge that they have issues and accept that some people here work with them.
