🚨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 
PSL does mutual aid but it's not in any way a focus because, the truth is, mutual aid as practiced by the US left is just small-scare charity with a big labor input. It does not in any meaningful way build revolutionary power. When we take on mutual aid, it's usually on the level of organizational cooperation and coalition building - repairing a Black community center so they can better serve their neighborhood, and we get to utilize the space. That's actual mutual.
Saying it's entirely vote bullshit is basically straight up lying, or you must have taken "obligation to participate in campaign activity" entirely the wrong way. There's also an obligation to participate in community organizing, internal political education, external political education, labor organizing and solidarity, Palestine rallies and divestment, etc. Even in an election year I doubt more than a third of our work is election focused, and the campaign primarily amplifies our non-electoral work.
I might look into it again, they were just really stressing the Presidential stuff which I'm clearly not alone in seeing as a wasteful vanity project. They should focus on local elections and build their presence as an actual political entity first.
