🚨UPDATE ON BALLOT ACCESS🚨
Over the last few months, volunteers around the country have been actively petitioning, talking with and collecting signatures from tens of thousands of people ready to see a socialist on the ballot in their state.
As of today, our campaign:
- 💥 Is officially on the ballot in 9 states
- 💥 Has submitted the required signatures in 7 states
- 💥 Is still pursuing ballot access in an additional 7 states
- 💥 Is pursuing official write-in status in 22 states
Our campaign has a path to over 270 electoral college votes — a majority.
The two-party system makes it incredibly difficult for third party candidates without huge financial resources to access ballots in some states. No matter what status your state is, we encourage supporters to get involved and help build the movement for a future by and for the people beyond the ballot box!
Whether you can donate your money your time, or both — we need your help! Visit 🔗http://votesocialist2024.com/volunteer to learn how you can get involved!
Good for them 
I hear you but I think the party’s goal is still sustained growth which may at some point enable state chapters to start running serious local campaigns. I’m not a member however though I plan to begin the process once I’m back in the states next year.
However some of our other comrades who do work with them have said that there is not much money spent on the campaigns, there is just the volunteer time to get the signatures and of course whatever events Claudia and Karina partake in (but these double as general socialist agit prop so I’m sure you’d agree they aren’t a waste of time either). I’ll agree though that the rhetoric could use a little tweaking because “we now have a path to over 270 electoral college votes” probably seems like a delusionally optimistic statement to many from the outside. But that’s small change in the grand scheme of the party’s goals and activities.
Let’s hope that at some point we can start getting socialists on county boards of supervisors’ and fuck up landlord’s lives on a direct level.
