Or at least all the candidates counted with the dataset I could find
15million people that voted Biden last time couldn’t be bothered putting in a protest vote for something.
If Americans actually did this it would scare the fuck out of the two parties to see a third, fourth and fifth candidate with millions of votes.
Instead they resign themselves to apathy and “it’s wasted anyway”. When actually getting up and doing that shit directly empowered things like the UK leaving the EU.
If the 15million missing voters were on other parties instead of just being absent the Dems would have to reckon with “we need to be more like this third party to get those votes”. But instead what we’re seeing is “we need to be more like Republicans to get those votes”
What is it with americans and simply not voting or recognising political power exists within votes outside the two parties?
I googled the bottom item - Robby Wells of The Party Party. I hoped the results would be funny. Maybe he was a guy that hosts raves or something? Spoiler alert: Bleh.
2024 Presidential Candidate-Robby Wells’ plan takes the best from the Left & Right Wings…
A sizable number of write-ins are likely PSL too. They weren’t officially on the ballot in many states but had write-in status recognized.
Really surprised that Claudia de la Cruz overtook Cornel West so significantly
I’m not, tbh. I liked a lot of the things Cornel West had to say, but given his contentious interactions with the Green Party after they endorsed him as their candidate, he just seemed fundamentally unserious even by third party standards. I don’t really understand what he was trying to accomplish with his campaign. To me it just seemed like he was trying to sow chaos on the left at a time when it needed to be showing a united front.
Pretty big chunk of white left leaning libs would go for PSL but not West. I probably would’ve gone for him if he wasn’t kicked out of the race in my state.
Vermin Supreme really fell off
