Independent presidential candidate Cornel West will not make Pennsylvania's ballot after the battleground state's Supreme Court on Monday upheld a lower court ruling, and counties started printing ballots.

    If voting made any difference, they wouldn’t let us do it.

        Every vote for Harris is stealing a vote from third-party candidates who represent real change. By sidelining those voices, you’re indirectly helping Trump win!

      If voting didn’t make a difference, they wouldn’t spend $650 million on TV ads

          Ah yes, “both parties are the same”.

          Except one embraces diversity, labor, a more progressive tax system, infrastructure spending, criminal justice reform, public education, public health insurance, food/income assistance, climate action, and the rule of law.

              And he pretty solidly endorsed Trump - while the Democratic candidate is literally running on taxing billionaires more.

                Ideally, for capitalists, their bloc should rule the society—be the hegemonic power—by controlling mass media, winning elections, producing parliamentary majorities, and disseminating an ideology in schools and beyond that justifies capitalism. Capitalist hegemony would then keep anti-capitalist impulses disorganized or unable to build a social movement into a counter-hegemonic bloc strong enough to challenge capitalism’s hegemony. Why Capitalism is in Constant Conflict With Democracy

                  What do you think is the best example of a socialist country?

                    I don’t think in nationalist framing. Nation-states promote tribalism. Materialism and Marxism is a way of thinking of social relations. As an economy of trade, I’m gonna go with the Incan Empire as a great example of socialism:

                    Each citizen of the empire was issued the necessities of life out of the state storehouses, including food, tools, raw materials, and clothing, and needed to purchase nothing. With no shops or markets, there was no need for a standard currency or money, and there was nowhere to spend money or purchase or trade for necessities.

                    Thanks for the thoughtful question.
