I made a similar post from some early successes I've had today. Most of it is functionally aftercare. Here's the gist:
Your post partially inspired my post here: Let a hundred local socialist parties bloom
Summary for those who won't click through is:
so do they have to wait until the 3rd party gets crushed to learn about the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and that the only use for electorialism is as publicity for its own failings?
Losing is unimportant, just look at Trump lmao!
More seriously, electoralism can be a gateway for actual organizing, and there is use to running doomed campaigns. From
and
talking about why third party candidates have uses
this is what I was trying to imply with "publicity for its own failings" but I could have been clearer
Happens to me all the time!
Any third party that solely focuses on electoralism like Dems do is disqualified from the conversation imo. The idea is that the third party is doing more than that (and thus, achieving more than electoral outcomes) like proper socialists.
