A sizable number of write-ins are likely PSL too. They weren’t officially on the ballot in many states but had write-in status recognized.

My vote still has not been counted so I already know the number will be going up

A communist party that probably hasn’t had a single second of airtime on any news station in the US got 1/6th the votes of someone who almost any politically aware person in the US has heard about constantly for the last year.

And literally any normie can vote for RFK. He’s probably on the ballot in more states too?

And the PSL and Greens were kicked off the ballot in states. (RFK might have been too?)

Really surprised that Claudia de la Cruz overtook Cornel West so significantly

same reason republicans vote for Trump instead of neocon Democrats: why go for the generic brand when you’ve got the real thing?

Pretty big chunk of white left leaning libs would go for PSL but not West. I probably would’ve gone for him if he wasn’t kicked out of the race in my state.

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

I think I’m mostly surprised because he’s received quite a bit of media attention, or at least he did for a minute but I guess if he didn’t even make it on the ballot in some places that would obviously affect the numbers

Makes sense; I know a lot of people vote based on vibes and I just remember that he got a decent amount of media exposure and “communist bad” so that’s why i was surprised

I googled the bottom item - Robby Wells of The Party Party. I hoped the results would be funny. Maybe he was a guy that hosts raves or something? Spoiler alert: Bleh.

2024 Presidential Candidate-Robby Wells’ plan takes the best from the Left & Right Wings…
