Yeah, she's been on my radar and I've heard some pretty good ideas and beliefs espoused by her and her running mate. Building leftist movements in a deep-red state is very much a "step lightly" action though, so I have worries that any overt socialist growth here will mean more attempted attacks on pride festivals by neo-nazis, and such. Hell, even mention of "antifa" brings out the crazies to roam the streets with rifles.

The fact of the matter is that not organizing on the Left just allows the Neo-Nazis to feel emboldened. Even in a deep red state, there are many Leftists, and rather than just remaining silent it's better to organize for your own protection.

Exactly what I mean. There is zero organizing going on for PSL in this area, so it doesn't feel nearly as important to push for a socialist vote compared to other issues, like ranked choice voting and cannabis legalization.

But still, you're at the ballot. May as well cast the vote, if PSL gets over 5% it gets funding.
