PSL candidates are on the ballot in my Republican state for the first time this year - via another (local) party.

Hmm I’ll have to read up on her, I don’t recognize the name. But again, without RCV or some other method, none of these candidates stand an honest chance of being elected. We’re stuck with two-party for now, and all the shit it brings.

So aside from armed revolution, what other options do we have for improving things?

Bush and Reagan were able to successfully pressure Israel despite both supporting the occupation.

Biden is a lifelong Zionist ideologue.

Biden has been putting some pressure on them as well, although it’s still too little. Maybe if he wins we’ll see him make real policy changes, but yeah it’s not very likely.

Putting pressure on them how? From what I can tell, they’re getting all the material support they always have

Beyond words that are “leaked” to the press, what exact pressure has Biden put on Israel?

Jill Stein, who Zionists predictably label a “self-hating Jew.”

If we could get some kind of ranked-choice voting in place then a 3rd-party candidate would have a legitimate chance here. Unfortunately there’s too much FUD about RCV making your vote “not count”. I’m in Colorado and it looks like we have a real chance of implementing something in the next few years, so I’m crossing my fingers…

Head for the extreme northwest and northeast corners of the country; Alaska and Maine both use RCV, including for presidential elections. It’s not 50 states of RCV but it’s a start!
