On September 8, the Party for Socialism & Liberation announced its 2024 national ticket. For president, Claudia De La Cruz; for vice-president, Karina Garcia. See here.
Both candidates meet the constitutional qualifications to hold the offices. Both live in New York state. Thanks to Independent Political Report for the news.
In 2020 the party got 85,623 votes for its national ticket, the highest total in the party’s history. It started running presidential campaigns in 2008.
I don’t understand why they’re not running Biden-Harris, but as a Trump supporter, I’m glad they’re not.
Awful people.
12 AMDT –
BOTH P AND VP CAN NOT BE RESIDENTS OF SAME STATE.
ABOLISH THE MORE AND MORE INSANE EC

P-A-T
AZ is insane, not the EC. And the only problem with the President and VP Candidates being from the same state is if they win that State’s electoral votes. In which case one of them moves their official residence before the electors meet, like Dick Cheney did when it actually happened.
“Both live in New York State.” That would mean they’re ineligible to win the electors of New York State due to the 12th amendment. Or the electors would have to select an alternate VP candidate, which might violate state law.
Or one of them would move, or “move.” But realistically they won’t win the electors of NY state, or any state, so they don’t need to worry about it.
Which just goes to show you: the ineligibility of a candidate to get elected in any particular state doesn’t preclude them from running in any other state.
It doesn’t preclude them from running in that state, either, especially if winning it is unlikely. Cheney was a Texas resident for years. He moved his official residence back to Wyoming in anticipation of his ticket carrying Texas. He could have waited until they actually won it had he wanted to.
Jo Jorgensen and Spike Cohen were both from South Carolina. No electoral votes, no problem.
I think Cohen may have changed his official residence just in case. If so, he didn’t really have to.
Jeremy “Spike” Cohen said he would have moved to North Carolina after the election if they had won.
Splitting the commie vote helps Trump.
HOW MANY FAMILY DYNASTIES IN 2 OR MORE STATES ???
KENNEDY / BUSH / ETC.
HOW MANY COMMIE / FASCIST MINI-PARTIES IN 2024 ???
>>> ANY LOCAL MAJORITY WINNERS IN 2024 GERRYMANDER ELECTIONS ???
Their platform is hysterical:
Seize all businesses and rental properties; government guaranteed housing, healthcare, food, education, employment, etc; lots of affirmative action and reparations to correct historical wrongs; ban opposing political parties; ban speech promoting capitalism; ban male chauvinism; ban fossil fuel and nuclear energy; etc.
Their platform literally says that if someone makes a joke about gays, the government will prohibit the offender from being employed, being married, living in a house, and receiving health care. In other words, they are literally advocating for the killing of people who tell a joke they don’t like.
Their platform is a perfect recipe for totalitarian government and mass starvation. These people have learned absolutely nothing from the last hundred years.

ANY OLDE 1917-1991 RUSSIA / USSR COMMIES IN USA STILL ALIVE ???

PSL FOLKS FROM OLDE KHMER ROUGE COMMIES IN CAMBODIA IN 1970S ???
PILES OF SKULLS IN CAMBODIA.
TOO MUCH EVEN FOR VIETNAM COMMIES – INVASION – END OF KR REGIME.
The really dangerous commies are not the above board ones like the PSL but true under cover ones who run 100% of the Democrats and derp state, 90% plus of the media, and 50% of the GOP.
Based, hope they win big. Lenin lives!
Jim, you are full of it because those “campaign points” are a gross exaggeration of their actual platform. They’re looking to seize the 100 biggest corporations, not all businesses and rental properties – those corporations are owned by billionaires who will not be hurt by losing that, trust me. Guaranteed housing, education, and healthcare should be a right; which in fact, it literally is in some countries. They can’t ban opposing parties and have never said they would try. They’re not banning speech promoting capitalism. They’re not banning speech promoting sexism (though they should). They’re not banning fossil fuels – they’re putting them in the hands of the public and hoping to phase in more renewable energy sources. They didn’t say a word about nuclear energy.
Literally no one would be banned from receiving healthcare for making a homophobic joke, and they don’t say that anywhere on their platform. I don’t know what material you found but it wasn’t what I read on their website, that’s for damn sure.
I’m told they’ve qualified for the ballot in a number of states. Is that true?
Yes.
Reading literacy is at an all time low. Makes a lot of sense why most of you are scared of communism, especially when no country has been able to achieve real communism because the U.S. ruling class overthrows any attempt. They back puppet dictators, form coups to take down actual democratically elected officials in other countries, and spew out the most insane propaganda. Have any of you really read the communist manifesto? Or do you get all your information from Fox News? Why is it okay for the U.S. to intervene in other countries politics? Don’t you think that people in Cuba should be able to pick their leaders themselves? God. This is why every other country thinks we are incompetent. At least China actually invests in their infrastructure. Socialism flourished in Cuba until the embargo. Why did the U.S. place they embargo and try to assassinate Castro? Because, the ruling class wants to keep healthcare, oil, agriculture, etc…, privatized!
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRIVATE PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY.
One of them, I forget which, has changed their residency to CA. In 2000, Cheney changed his residency from TX to WY shortly before the election so he and Bush would not be from the same state.
