I'm PSL on all downballot but Jill for Prez cause she's gonna get all the lib hate when Kamala loses. Because genocide.
What the hell does this mean. PSL downballot??
During us elections you often have house, state, and local elections at the same time. These are traditionally below the presidential vote if on a single ballot.
I know, but PSL generally does not run in these races.
It means if we're not in a revolution, and we are focusing on electoralism, then PSL needs down ballot candidates. City council, dog catcher, I don't care. Something other than president because president isn't going to happen. We need activism on the local level.
PSL is not running because of electoralism. They're running as a tactic to expand their organization. It's for propaganda and outreach, not for making change by winning elections.
