SEATTLE IS READY TO VOTE SOCIALIST!

END CAPITALISM BEFORE IT ENDS US!

Our campaign volunteers have been on the ground almost every day talking to our neighbors about the issues they face under our current system. It's clear that people are tired of the two party system that offers no solutions to the problems we face every day. Housing, wages, healthcare, and education are our priorities, not endless war!

The Vote Socialist 2024 campaign is working to address and meet the needs of working class people who have been abandoned by capitalism. The people of Seattle deserve better, and we know that together, we can build a better world that puts people first.

Abandon the two party system and commit to liberation!

SAVE THE DATE: Claudia de la Cruz and the Vote Socialist campaign will be visiting Seattle, Thursday, October 10! Stay tuned for more updates!

We already beat back the fascists, back in 2020 and 2012 and so on. When do you expect we’ll be able to check that one off?

We elected Biden and even had a Democrat majority in both the Senate and House until 2022. Do you mind refreshing me on what they did to implement ranked choice voting?

RCV is being banned by states quicker than it’s being adopted (and many of its opponents are Democrats) even though it wins by huge margins when people are allowed to vote for it. I’m skeptical of any argument against voting for parties with our best interests in minds until it’s implemented. I’ve been hearing the rhetoric that “this election is critical and if you vote third party, you’re throwing your vote away” since Gore vs Bush, and I don’t think it was new then, either. Lately it’s morphed into “a vote for a third party is a vote for Trump,” which isn’t even remotely how it works.

If Democrats aren’t competently opposing the fascists, why should we keep supporting them?
