“We will be going beyond the lesser of two evil narrative and we will actually be discussing the most pressing issues of our communities and how we break away from the two-party system that is holding us hostage,” De la Cruz said in a social media video statement last week. “Only a true independent movement of working-class people and the creation of our own political instruments can actually guarantee our survival and the survival of the planet.”

Agreed!
Not a lot of people outside Socialist circles do.
Yeah, weird how suddenly all of these third party candidates nobody has ever heard of are suddenly popping up.
Almost like they’re being propped up.
The PSL is an authoritarian, Leninist organization that supports government violence against dissidents and civilians, including in North Korea.
I normally am OK with these pro-third party posts, but this goes way beyond the spoiler effect. This is not much better than posts that promote fascism. These people want to murder us.
Edit: They’ve also been accused of cult-like techniques in recruiting and exploiting members. I haven’t investigated this fully so take it with a grain of salt but it would not surprise me if it’s true.
I don’t agree with your opinion at all. Tho I support your right to that opinion, that has not been my experience at all.
What opinion do you disagree with? My comment is primarily a summary of the facts around this organization. If you dispute those facts then let’s discuss. But those are not opinions, they are either right or wrong.
I don’t agree that those are facts that have anything to do with these 2 people.
Claudia de la Cruz is a member of PSL. So it’s very obviously related to her. Not sure who else you are referring to here. Stein? I haven’t seen indications she holds such views, I’m talking specifically about PSL and their members.
I can’t find direct statements from her about these topics, but consider that the PSL is a so-called democratic-centralist organization, meaning they require public unanimity in pursuing their agenda. There’s no reason to think she disagrees with these violent and oppressive views. It’s very unlikely she’d be a member if she did.

And I don’t think she is guilty of any of those things or guilty of supporting them. Do you have proof?

These are all about the party. I’ve seen no specific statements from de la Cruz herself. But barring any statements, it seems safe to assume she stands with the party on these issues, given its tight organization and noted ideological control of its members.
None of that convinces me. But I respect your right to your opinion. I just differs from mine.
I like De La Cruz. That type of party and energy is needed.
I agree! Wish more people knew about her and her party.
Same. I wish they get on Bluesky at least. I hope they run for some local stuff. It is clear third parties are never going to happen in this country just an endless cycle of lesser evil.

Well it’s very clear to me that the Democrats and the Republicans definitely don’t want third parties to ever happen in this country.
