If you’re feeling disturbed by this rhetoric but you don’t want to vote for the greens, consider party for socialism and liberation. They’re running de la Cruz on a platform of Palestinian statehood and an end to arms shipments to Israel.
And what are their chances to win currently?
0, they aren't qualified in enough states to get 270 electoral college votes, and even if they did get 270, the electoral college would disqualify them. PSL is a revolutionary party, they participate in bourgeois elections so you can signal strength, protest vote, and draw attention to the party itself so more people join.
You're not understanding leftists if you think they can enact change electorally.
1 in 19 quintillion, roughly.
Yikes.
No, it's actually 0. They literally are mathematically incapable of obtaining the 270 electoral votes needed to win.
They exist to siphon votes from the Democratic party, it is as simple as that.
Oh I know. I just wanted them to admit it so I know that they know.
I wouldn’t know, I’m not much of a gambler so the odds aren’t really in my mind.
How about they also crawl back into the hole they come out of every 4 fucking years...
This isn't how political parties work. You don't just show up every four years and run for literally the highest office in the nation, and then disappear for another four years when you inevitably lose (and "coincidentally" become a spoiler).
This is why nobody takes them seriously.
Psl is active in elections other than presidential, run candidates at the local level and take part in protests and aid.
