Yep, the vast majority of pro-Palestinian voters and Palestinians themselves have been suggesting Claudia De La Cruz, Jill Stein, and Cornel West, not Trump.

Nice to see someone coming out firmly in favor of Palestinians and listening to them. Solidarity!

I use CPC, because that's the format that is more consistent among international Communist Parties.

No, but it means measuring support for revolution by the results of elections where only about 2/3rds of Americans even vote to begin with is silly.

Ah, was referring to the PRC, was unaware of the population demographic shifts, my apologies.

That's certainly a liberal perspective, but leftists disagree. The left isn't that small either, the most populous state in the world is Socialist.

The US has First Past the Post.

This may surprise you, but revolution is illegal.

That's the Overton Window, which is only useful for analyzing medians, not for actual political discourse.

Liberalism is the ideology of Capitalism, ergo it is right wing. Conervative liberals and progressive liberals are both right wing to different degrees.

Left/right is just shorthand, the issue isn't adding dimensions but recognizing that you can only ever describe political positions by what they actually are. Adding dimensions doesn't necessarily help because completely different stances can occupy the same space depending on how you do it, it becomes astrology.
