    I don’t know how much I trust these results. But if they’re true this is fantastic.

    Jill Stein getting more votes than the Libertarians makes me so happy. Although it looks like that might be because libertarians got way less votes, presumably because of RFK?

    According to these results, Jill Stein got basically 1/11th of what Kamala Harris got. Not bad.

    And PSL with over 100k like people mentioned. Not bad at all. 100k people voting for what is effectively a communist party.

    Did the PSL do any campaigning and door to door? How much of that is people in left-wing orgs or affiliation versus people who just decided to support whatever some campaigner or candidate description told them?

    Because if that’s mostly conscious left-wingers I feel like 100k voting for one candidate would be making some people in power nervous.

    Feels like the Green Party and PSL can have a symbiotic relationship that way too. Normies can vote Green and people who are more politically conscious vote PSL.

    But time will tell how much staying power the politics behind these vote counts will actually have.

    Here’s the 2020 vote totals: https://www.fec.gov/resources/cms-content/documents/federalelections2020.pdf

    Gloria Estela La Riva (Liberty Union, Peace and Freedom, Socialism and Liberation, Independent) 85,685 0.05%
