This is the first election year I’ve been able to participate in and it’s been difficult for me to make a decision. Morally I can’t bring myself to vote for Joe Biden, and Trump is out of the question. I’ve heard good things about Jill Stein and her policies but almost no one talks about her. On the other hand I’ve started to see a lot more about Claudia De La Cruz, especially in this subreddit. I’m having trouble deciding between the two. Which do you think is better, and why?

a lot of communists i respect, including a few friends, are voting for claudia/PSL, i  think they are good. i am a fan of the green party as well. You can check out marc lamont hill (friend of the show) talking about why he supports green party: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb0Nj0sHUU8&amp;pp=ygUXbWFyYyBsYW1vbnQgZ3JlZW4gcGFydHk%3D](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb0Nj0sHUU8&amp;pp=ygUXbWFyYyBsYW1vbnQgZ3JlZW4gcGFydHk%3D) (he has an interview with jill stein as well)

Thank you so much for the link! I don’t know anyone with the same political beliefs as me so I’ve kind of been walking blind folded into this election. I’m trying to educated myself as much as possible before November.

Np! whatever happens, voting is an expression of your opinion, it’s better to do it than not voting. 🗳️ and remember local elections, district, city, state hold a lot of weight as well. You may find Green Party elected officials in your area already: [https://www.gpelections.org/greens-in-office/](https://www.gpelections.org/greens-in-office/)

  
DSA (Democratic socialists of america) is not a party but an org that has endorsed and organized for people like AOC to be elected.

the future is bleak, but not hopeless.
