The fact that you're trying to find an electoral candidate that would please us, when we couldn't be clearer about how we think the electoralist strategy is a trap, shows you either aren't listening or you think we're little babies who can be convinced by someone jingling keys in front of our face. Yes, we aren't satisfied by any candidate, that's the point. That doesn't mean we hope they lose because they are insufficient, it means we are working to make other people can see that even if you win with a "good enough" candidate capitalism is still capitalism. The July 26th movement wasn't voted into office. Ho Chi Minh didn't beat the various imperialists at the ballot box. To dismantle imperialism you need a military strategy, not just throwing your time and energy away supporting electoral campaigns.
