they’ve been sending SuperPAC funded lawyers to try to purge 3rd parties from ballots in key states (as if that won’t just generate more spite votes against them lmao “democratic party” my :donkey: ). They are genuinely afraid of their own losing the working class margins they rely on as they fight over the ever-shrinking bourgeois and petty-bourgeois with the republicans, because with their entrenched interest and donor base (which is in camaign-finance competition with republicans and their bourgeois and petty bourgeois backers) they cant actually move left without breaking in half. Which is what we should all try to force on them by starving them of the margins that they need from us if they ever want political power again; our leverage against the electoral duopoly to expose and rupture the intractable contradictions of democrat party moribundity and big-money entrenchment in conflict with their actual base (including the 35-50% who dont even vote anymore).

This is what I’ve been saying to those people here who say “she’s probably going to win because trump x y z” — the democrat campaign themselves aren’t as sure as these people saying that are about that, and they show it in their actions. We should prove to them they are right to be afraid and force them into the consequences of their untenable existence and redundancy in the face of the working masses who still believe in bourgeois liberal democracy. This is the way to make them prove to the masses what we all already know about them and be broken for it — force them if they ever want political power again to openly align with republicans instead of doing 95% of the same policies as the republicans and capitulating to them the other 5% of the time so that next election they can say “vote for us because we’re not those guys! only we can save you from those guys we regularly call our good friends!;” or otherwise force the ruling class to float a progressive “labor” reformist party to capture workers and lumpenized voters from falling into the continually rising 3rd parties especially socialist parties like the PSL.

If the ruling class doesn’t float this party and just joins in coalition with republicans, it’s possible dual power situation as the broad masses of workers don’t have any illusions about the open-fanged republicans and would radicalize quickly and swell the ranks of the PSL and other left wing and socialist parties and organizations. If they do float that party, This would cause the democrat party to split in half, with half of the establishment joining republicans and half joining reformist progressive party, which would alienate that floated party’s left wing by “democrat-izing” the party with the same politicians they joined to get away from, and move that left-wing contingent into more radical politics with us as our agitation will have been predicting this exact outcome.
