On August 28, the Bread & Roses Party held a press conference in Washington, D.C., and said it will run its founder, Jerome Segal, for president in 2020. It hopes to get on the ballot in all the states that are not “swing states.” Currently it is only on the ballot in Maryland. Segal lives in Maryland. Here is his wikipedia page.

A safe state strategy? Why don’t they just not run anyone at all then. The Green Party tried a safe state strategy in 2004 and got nothing from it; few votes, and no thanks or appreciation at all and no major attempt to pass Ranked Choice Voting or other such electoral reforms.
Since they refuse to learn from history, Bread and Roses will have learn the hard way that there’s no appeasing the unDemocratic Party.
The 2004 Green Party nominee, David Cobb, didn’t campaign in “swing states”, but he still willingly qualified for the ballot in “swing states”, such as Florida and Nevada.
I’m with Joshua, as usual. While I’m not old enough to have been politically aware during the 2004 election, reading about the Cobb’s campaign safe-state strategy just makes me sick. I’ve always found it absurd when a third-party doesn’t run in a race just to kowtow to one of the major parties, since it’s not like they’ll ever show appreciation for it.
