I saw it linked here on the site just a few months ago. Really sad if so.

Claudia is definitely hustling all over the country. She's been holding events in lots of states at community centers and universities. Maybe she could have been flashier at some protests but PSL might not want to entangle their lead party candidate in anything with potential criminal consequences as they are still a smaller party than Greens and probably don't have as substantial of a legal fund.
I do want to say that if people would rather vote for Green's over PSL to try to reach the 5% threshold, I find that pretty reasonable. It would be great to have a real leftist 3rd party get the chance to actually callout dems and repubs directly. I've been more impressed with Hawkins's writings than I expected, and so I will check out Green's as well as PSL local chapters when I'm back in the states.
It's sad to see S4A dying more and more on this hill. Just a few months ago they offered both Green's and PSL as alternatives, but it seems like they doubled down and got very butthurt by commenters questioning their "anti-revisionism". They keep posting a 2007 article from PSL's Liberation School that was more critical on the CPC then their party line is today as proof that they "de-evolved", but frankly I read through it and basically they just said that Dengism has sucked because it brought capitalism back to China but also that it would be disastrous for the CPC to lose power unless it were somehow replaced with another Communist revolution (which... ain't gonna happen in the near future). So the conclusion was to remain critical but support the socialist tendencies that still exist.
The kicker is S4A literally used to work with the Green's and then left because they viewed it as a dead-end, not-explicitly-socialist party. And now they are actually better to support than PSL because... PSL has a wrong line on China? 
It's especially stupid because an ideological disagreement in the US left about a foreign country's challenges building socialism truly will not matter until far, far down the line, and that's assuming we ever find a modicum of success.
Agreed, this bit is too good to give up.
Where's the distinguishing line? Earnest question
, unless this is just a bit
I've never dated a woman more than 5 inches shorter than me, and this take just seems incredibly baffling to me. If I was much taller than I could have dated the same women and now it's noncey?
Care to elaborate? She seemed okay in the Channel 5 interview. BTW I already voted 
when I'm back in the states I'll take a look at local Green's actions as well as PSL I think. yes DSA has to end its tailism then maybe it has a chance to play a real role
I don't think I've heard Jill make a remark on it. I'm not sure if this represents more of the Greens or just Ware having a bit of a moment. I listened to Howie Hawkins "case for an independent left party" the other day and was surprised with how outright socialist the text is. I've heard Greens are also a huge mixed bag depending on chapter.
Maybe I haven't read enough about AES states, but I'm quite curious what people here think is a good model for a free press. While I once thought that maybe you could allow people and/or businesses to still get paid by "customers" for providing press 
, I've realized that that doesn't really make any sense at all. Profit motive and good press will always be at odds, whether through over-sensationalizing or just by reporting what's in the interest of the owners. 
So, I think not allowing the press to be a profiting entity of any kind, nor one that ever runs ads for any reason (of course these go hand in hand) is a no brainer 
. And so money to fund the organizations must come from some taxes (I'm thinking of a DoP stage of development 
).
But then what should the press organizational structure actually be? What best way could you separate it from both the state and I suppose the party 
itself . Should there be press orgs at every municipal level, up through counties and states/national governments? Councils of citizens 
which are involved to have some say over organizational policy and journalistic standards (including the journalists in said councils of course).
I'm open to all sorts of ideas, just would like to hear people's takes because every day we see more and more just how truly broken our laughable western "press" really is.
Plus anyone who has cool ideas about how socialist school/health systems should work I also love hearing those! 
Did access to the emoji git repo change after federating? I'm trying to update some of my sticker packs

It's like looking into an abyss of concentrated incoherence. My mind is fried just reading their drivel put to text.
