      I’m probably using the wrong term. What I mean is that feeling that voting third party is “throwing my vote away” because of first-past-the-post and the fact that voting third party might help the worst candidate win over the “lesser evil”.

      Basically how do you not be the Green Party?

        the point of a workers party campaign is to show that the bourgeois system (ie dems and reps alike) are the enemy, to raise class consciousness, increase party membership and organising capacity.

        edit: so the party’s goal is not to pander to the “electorate”

        Time for What is to be Done?, a Lenin pamphlet about engaging with the broad party politics of a bourgeois government written a full 15 years before the successful October Revolution. Building power and organizing don’t happen overnight, all avenues must be used to build a revolutionary socialist movement/vanguard. We don’t get the weeks where decades happen without the decades where “nothing” happens.
