Unfortunately, I have not read much communist literature ever since a long time ago, so I am not sure what the correct strategy is for communists regarding elections in America.

I ask because midterms are coming up and I am not sure if I should register as independent or not. Could anyone give advice and answers?

The Democrats are the less destructive party. Things will deteriorate slower under democratic rule. I am largely influenced by “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” type thinking. Yes the Democrats are capitalist, yes imperialist, but the Republicans are outright genocidal towards trans people and immigrants.

https://19thnews.org/2024/10/harris-gender-affirming-care-incarcerated-people-fact-check/ I don't think Mrs."Follow-The-Law" was gonna be any less genocidal towards incarcerated trans people. So, no difference really. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/oct/10/marcy-kaptur-ohio-trans-ad https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/10/06/ohio-democratic-candidates-amy-acton-and-marcy-kaptur-make-anti-transgender-remarks-face-backlash/

Seems like democrats will publicly support token laws that don't address actual transgender issues. Repeatedly, they show their actual colors when it comes to policy in their own states or governance. They ultimately will compromise with the republicans on ANYTHING, including trans-rights, as liberals do, until they're ultimately powerless and feckless as states that are republican continue to prosecute and attack trans-rights. Just like with Obamacare. Just like with Kamala supporting being tough on Iran and her policy on one of the most vulnerable groups of trans people that are incarcerated and just like every other war in American history.

How is supporting the Iran war, being "tough on Iran", fully zionist to the point of fully supplying a genocide (Biden) any less destructive? What are you talking about?
