Under this undemocratic system dominated by the two parties of Wall Street, alternative candidates like Claudia and Karina are unjustly excluded from the polls, debates, and most mainstream coverage. But thanks to the tireless work of thousands of volunteers, we’re breaking through the obstacles!

The NYT is only listing the third party people so after Trump wins they can go "If only 100% of third party voters had voted for Kamala (and maybe moved to a different state) Kamala would have won! 😭" instead of going "if 1% of Republicans in 3 states had voted for Kamala she would have won! 😭" which would make more sense since she's campaigning with the last Republican president and running on a basically GOP platform of endless war, tax cuts, a big beautiful wall...

Claudia is running in 19 states which could net a total of 220 electoral votes.

In the United States it takes a minimum of 270 votes to win the election.

She. Will. Not. Win.

Can you please provide the reasoning to keep hyping this campaign when there is no clear way to win?

Instead of wasting effort to put 3rd party candidates onto a ballot they can never win on that effort would be better spent trying to get proportional voting enacted so they could actually win.

Do you know the common communist approach towards electoralism? The theory behind it?

I'm a big fan of Claudia!

Nice to see Claudia, Cornel, and Jill on here, though I wish West ran as a Green to consolidate power.
