🚨The Vote Socialist campaign is putting socialism on the map!🚨
Thanks to the hard work of thousands of volunteers, the majority of people in this country will see socialism on the ballot this November! Additional official write-in states are still to be announced!
The two-party system makes it incredibly difficult for third party candidates without huge financial resources to access ballots in some states. No matter what status your state is, we encourage supporters to get involved and help build the movement for a future by and for the people beyond the ballot box!
Whether you can donate your money your time, or both — we need your help.

Hey thanks for this didn't know that was a thing. Will try to follow up
So I get what you're saying, but this does sort of echo the kind of thinking that has led me to leave friend/acquaintance groups of vile liberals who were otherwise somewhat tolerable -- their desire to not alienate people led them to to allow harmful reactionary shit which in turn alienated me. The calculus of disregarding everyone's safety when they can instead be taught to be better about it, in order to be more inviting alienates who knows how many other people who cannot accept that same risk. I tend to think leading by example and projecting strength and confidence in one's decisions is the way to lead a change -- just the presence of a "masks required because Covid is still dangerous" with maybe some zines about how many people have become disabled from long covid could impress upon people that it isn't over. Especially since covid-minimization is a tool of Capital to send workers to our deaths.
But I am glad to hear there's at least a cultural push for masking. It's a good starting place.
I will try to write something up more coherent and then try to reach out to a local PSL branch with this feedback. Thanks.
Actually, if people are immunocompromised, we don't want to encourage them to come to events and risk their lives. There are other ways we can have them engage, and risking their lives isn't worth it. And we are more descriptive than saying COVID is dangerous so wear a mask. It is similar along the lines you said.
