There’s an simple way to counter it — get enough people registered to cover all the positions on the ballot. Or register as an independent and get enough support across the entire state. — but that takes two election cycles of support I believe.
For the socialist party, running for president really isn’t the best serious route forward; better route is to put congressional representatives in races where they have a chance of winning. Then they become actual swing votes that can affect policy.
Once enough representatives have been elected, THEN it’s time to consider a presidential candidate.
It’s because the PSL isn’t a serious socialist party. It’s basically a cult that depends on constant recruitment efforts to stay intact due to its abusive internal politics and constant shedding of members.
A national political campaign is one of the easiest ways to attract lots of new members who don’t know anything about your organization.
It’s very similar to mlm or abusive call center companies where most of the effort goes into recruitment rather than real organizational goals.
I totally agree that building grassroots support and focusing on congressional races is crucial for the Socialist Party’s long-term success.
However, running a presidential candidate also plays a vital role in raising awareness and bringing issues to the national stage that might otherwise be ignored.
While congressional representation is important for affecting policy, a presidential campaign helps to build a broader movement and can inspire more people to join the cause across the country.
