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!

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That would entail talking to other communists in real life....

spoilerwhich 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.

The PSL I know are nearly tireless.

We are fueled by the immortal science of Marxist-Leninism

[–] [email protected] 50 points 2 months ago

I voted for them

Nice they surpass the 80k from last election

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Isn't this the most votes an explicitly socialist party has ever received in the country?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nah, Debs got a million im sure

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

He got 10% of the vote while in prison iirc

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And California has only counted like half the votes, that probably another 30-40k there at least.

im not so positive lol

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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

Same I’m waiting for mine to show up

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?

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I think some third parties rely on endorsements from smaller local parties for ballot access. Greens do the same thing in some states.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

Ditto, I'd also like to see how the greens did.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

They were write-ins in Texas.

I voted for them

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I need to email my election clerk for this, because her votes aren't published in my state

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago

I voted 90000 times

Now I feel dumb for writing in Joe Biden

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago

Proud to be part of the 0%! One of 98,222

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I voted for them in Texas as write in candidates.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Any idea how socialist parties did this year compared to the last few elections?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 months ago (1 children)

PSL got 86,239 votes last election

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Right so given a c.25% each election rise they should surpass the republican 72million votes in the year 2144.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

It’s, uh… the 300 year anniversary of Marx’s *Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844”.

I voted PSL and also used swap my vote to get two others to vote for them
