No need.

You do know that we have Kshama Sawant and Butch Ware running against the duopoly and many other grassroots movements.

Workers Strike Back and Chris Smalls are continuing the fight while organizing an independent labor movement, free from the duopoly.

We must continue supporting those that are for the poor and working class.

Get involved however you can and stop waiting for a superhero to save the day.

“We should focus our actions, time, and resources on Direct Action, Mutual Aid, and Community Outreach. If you do engage in Electoral Politics do not support the Duopoly (Red or Blue Team). No War but Class War!”

We mustn't celebrity worship Kegama Sawant and Butch Ware

True.

Feel free to call them out if they stray from their goals and demands of helping the poor and working class.

I know I will.
