I don’t know what else has to happen to prove that “pushing Democrats” or “working within the party” does not work. We need to support anti-war third parties & develop adversarial, militant organizations that can exert real pressure on the genocidal, imperialist duopoly.

I respect the people in our movement who are trying to move Democrats. But that effort seems to have hit a ceiling for now. It’s clearer than ever to me that we need to be building grassroots power through the street and local organizing. That’s where our power needs to grow.

I will use my influence for the betterment of society.
