Happy to see an outwardly socialist candidate receive this much support. Hopefully they’ll be solidified as a ‘third party’ candidate like Cornel West and Jill Stein. Tired of them being ignored by the mainstream media while a less popular candidate like Cornel West is given spotlight, little as it may be.
Honestly very cool, imagine if all 100k were organizing together. We can make that happen!
That would entail talking to other communists in real life…

which I rarely get to do and would really enjoy.
It feels really great! Highly recommend.
If you tried applying in the past and nobody ever responded, I recommend trying again.
I’m hopeful. The PSL I know are nearly tireless.

I voted for them
Write-in votes tend to be processed slower, I assume. My county has 95% reporting with zero write-ins, but I know it has at least one.
Same I’m waiting for mine to show up
Nice they surpass the 80k from last election
Isn’t this the most votes an explicitly socialist party has ever received in the country?
Nah, Debs got a million im sure
He got 10% of the vote while in prison iirc
And California has only counted like half the votes, that probably another 30-40k there at least.
im not so positive lol
I voted for her in California, but she was listed under the Peace and Freedom party. Is there a reason the party’s name is different in California?
I think some third parties rely on endorsements from smaller local parties for ballot access. Greens do the same thing in some states.
This is it. Peace & Freedom Party has been around for a long time and has ballot access in CA.
Is there anywhere to see a breakdown of how many votes they got in states that had them as write-ins? As far as I can tell, they still just lump all write-ins together, official or not.
Ditto, I’d also like to see how the greens did.
They were write-ins in Texas.
I voted for them
I need to email my election clerk for this, because her votes aren’t published in my state
I voted 90000 times
Now I feel dumb for writing in Joe Biden
Proud to be part of the 0%! One of 98,222
I voted for them in Texas as write in candidates.
They were a write in in my state. My County has just shy of 400 write ins recorded, and I’m one of’em. I wish there was more granularity about those names given that PSL had “official” write in status, but none yet.
Any idea how socialist parties did this year compared to the last few elections?
PSL got 86,239 votes last election
Right so given a c.25% each election rise they should surpass the republican 72million votes in the year 2144.
That aligns perfectly with the 100th anniversary of… oh… it says here “doomsday”? That seems fine and like humanity will be here and very fine.
Maybe the terrestrial squid-creatures that develop after we irradiate every inch of the earth will finally abolish the republicans for good
It’s, uh… the 300 year anniversary of Marx’s *Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844”.
