Pretty big chunk of white left leaning libs would go for PSL but not West.

Why do you think that?

Because he believes in systemic white supremacy in the US. Beyond people that actually read theory (tiny minority), black liberation has not been a popular issue for white people since 1865. Fucking California just voted to keep prison slavery

Respectfully, I’m not sure I agree. He has explicitly rejected Marxism. He also will occasionally throw out a bad take here and there (he had some particularly bad ones in the aftermath of Oct 7). I like him, and I know someone who knows him and he seems pretty awesome. I would vote for him over Jill Stein, for sure. But if I have the chance to vote for an explicitly ML party or someone who is not a Marxist, I will choose the ML party every time.

I'm not sure you'd find a PSL chapter that doesn't either. It's in the main party program
