BREAKING: JOKE WINS JOKE ELECTION

a rhizzone community article by — published
La Riva has a possible 135 electors if she wins California, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, New Jersey, New Mexico, Vermont and Washington.

Moorehead (WWP) is eligible in Utah and Wisconsin, which is another 16 electors.

Soltysik (Socialist Party) is also eligible in Michigan - this adds 16 electors.

That's 167 electors. If the college is split after that, all La Riva would have to do is convince 103 electors to defect to her, presumably after the endorsement of Jill Stein after dropping out. This isn't over.

A Partisan View of History
Marxism is centered on the idea that classes can be abolished through the liberation of the proletariat.
Resistance in America: A Perspective
The world-historical consequence of the Occupy movement needs to be put in this perspective. This is the same world and involves one of the same powers. So far, the Occupy movement has involved a tiny minority of Americans, and at very little expense for these people. There are attacks with irritants on protestors, but most violence has been one-sided and limited. Importantly, what are the changes in business-as-usual that this movement seeks to put into place?
What Constitutes a Mandate for Socialist Revolution?
A strong point made by Peter Hallward is simply that "waiting" has never made a revolution happen. If you consider capitalism a transformation of slavery, and existing capitalist society to be unjust, then it doesn't matter if the legal paperwork has been done. John Brown didn't leaflet for abolitionism, he tried to arm the people and destroy the institution he despised. "Waiting" for a parliamentary majority, or a well established consensus around some economic alternative, seems like it concedes all the ground to the opposition.

Does it, Stego? Does it? Or did I already exclude that from the calculation because I assumed La Riva won the state, and therefore won the electors?

i think, obviously, that they split the state and clinton ends up eking out a victory, thus subtracting those electors and demonstrating once again the urgent necessity for principled yet chill unity among marxist-leninists.

I think everyone agrees that the best thing to do is obstruct the voting process for others by, say, screaming wildly in the polling booth until they make you leave.

Voting for Gloria la Riva is exactly the same as not voting.

the best thing to do on election day is to not vote and organize a rally opposing imperialist forever war where literally no one is allowed to say a single word about any candidates or elections
