Claudia de la Cruz literally running in the socialism and liberation party.
Oh hey, another third party candidate coming out of the woodwork to run for president despite no experience in political office. I’m all for socialist candidates, but they should set their sights a little lower and start with County Commissioner or something to build experience.
0% chance that a truly progressive candidate will win the general election without 1. significant experience themselves and 2. significant progressive representation in Congress and state offices. If the “both sides” parties can’t navigate the gridlock when they’re supposedly on the same team, how on Earth is an outsider going to get anything remotely effective accomplished without massive support from the legislative branch?
Vote progressive down ticket and in local elections. When we have a healthy progressive bloc in Congress, then we can seriously consider a progressive presidential candidate. And for the love of God, they need actual experience first(Senator, Governor, Attorney General, something).
To be clear I’m not advocating for Cruz I just think it’s hilarious that people who claim to lean left are hyping up the green and not the labeled socialists.
To be honest I support my DSA locally because they actually take up council seats and attempt pushes into legislature and help with union actions.
