(35,386 posts)the only way socialists are going to vote for HRC is if there is no other option further left on the ballot. For example, down here in a red county of south Texas I get the choice of dem, repug, or FRP (last time the FRP candidate was Gary Johnson). They won't even put a 3rd party socialist on the ballot unless you are right inside a major city like Dallas, Houston or Austin. We simply don't get the option so I vote for the person likely to do the least amount of damage to working people. Sometimes that's a crap shoot but in Texas we are in a serious position with women's issues and loss of rights. You bet I'll vote HRC over FRP given what poor women in Texas are dealing with right now. Of course I also see that vote as a temporary fix and not nearly as important as other forms of advocacy.
