It was wonderful to attend the Green Party conference a couple of weeks ago with leftists from across the country (and @rogerwaters from across the Atlantic) who are working hard to support a people’s party aimed at breaking the duopoly, not folding DSAers into it.

@SpeedyPrime1236@NairYasmin Yes Kshama Sawant famously split the vote when she won multiple elections for city council as an independent
There’s other paths to victory outside of the democrat party
