Bold claims, but it shows that they’re still kicking and trying to grow as a party.

Unity Party now ballot-qualified in Florida.

I suppose this means a merger is off the table. A foolish decision by the chair who uses the party as a way to pick up chicks online. The leadership and structure of the Alliance Party is a working balancing act compared to anything else in the Americas aside from the ingenious of the Trotskyist alliance in Argentina. Electoral possibilities are much better with them than not.
In light of the fact that Nina Turner has successfully bounced for the Democratic Party and is going to win, that removes one of the many possibilities of a presidential nominee. Of course, there are a looooot of personalities to choose from. In order from those I like to those I don’t:

• Abby Martin: Host of the Empire Files and Breakthrough News. Longtime activist in the DSA. Has links to the PSL inner command through her husband, Mike Prysner. If anyone is going to have a chance at nabbing the nomination of the P&FP through PSL bloc voting, it’s her. She’s going to attract most AES-supporting Marxist-Leninists, The people at The Grayzone, and the only person who can possibly wrack up the most DSA locals. The left of the People’s Party.
• Rose McGowan: Leader of Code Pink and major #MeToo figure. On accounts of the latter alone, she’s up here. Anti-imperialist social democrat.
• Cornel West: A major supporter of Sanders with links to activist groups and certain segments among the Black Left, such as the Poor People’s Campaign. Religious socialist. Theoretically could get the support of Bob Avakian’s RCP through West’s involvement with Refuse Fascism, so that’s an added 100+ circulators, doorknockers, and voters from it. I think a great person to be VP.
• Marianne Williamson: My favorite cleric. A figure notable nationwide for her 2020 presidential run, charity work in aiding the poor and sick, union busting, and copyright battles for the works of her grand master. Her baggage extends further into her actual writings; a proponent of the prosperity gospel, antivaxx stances, and the oddity of her religious beliefs. Technically not a member. Being a former Green Party supporter is also another predictable touch, so glad these elements are gone at least
• Nick Brana: Bernie surrogate who started the party. By my sources most likely the dude responsible for not forming a relationship with the Green Party. Standard social democrat and person who idolizes William Jennings Brian.
• Susan Sarandon: the odd celebrity in there. On accounts of her status of working in high institutions and her wealth, she’s on the party’s right as opposed to the apparent left position of actor Danny Glover. Bobo figure
• Jimmy Dore: E-celeb notable for controversy covered previously. Runs a very slick set of self-promotion and operations however

All in all I give it one election before the funders get bored and energy gets mopped up by the Democrats with a few stragglers to the PSL.

I would pay to watch Biden, MTG, and Dore debate.

Awesome work by the way. Keep it up!

“How are you doing fellow kids?”

Oh my god lmao

Any GP/LP news lately?

I thought the whole "Stork as our party logo" thing was the dead giveaway the ASP is a Trojan Horse for Christian neoconservatism, Christian democracy at best.

SAM has finally elected a public official, First Selectman of Newtown, Connecticut, a former Democrat, Dan Rosenthal.

It’s been forever now

According to BAN, Hawkins will run as the Green Party nominee for NY Gov while Larry Sharpe will have the endorsement of the Libertarian, Forward, and Upstate Jobs ballot access line. The Libertarians might get more votes here over the Green Party and subsequently all third party candidates since 1994. Hawkins however will throw a pretty valiant campaign, as is tradition, and will most likely get a few DSA endorsements from select personalities and definitely the backing of the PSL along with basically everyone else relevant on the New York left scene.

Edit: oh yeah, the peoples party is collapsing. Everyone is either breaking away (Washington, effectively the WV PP), breaking apart (Virginia), or jumping ship (Marianne has been signaling this for a while) as Nick Brana is hit with a sexual assault allegation. Can I just say, lmao, what a damn waste of time for everyone involved.

Another edit: a pro-Freedom Convoy group is splitting from SPUSA and positioning itself as to the left of it. I’m skeptical to say the least.

An interesting report as always!

May be a favorite son in some swing states with no labels

Just as full of sense as their existence

Would be kinda interesting to see something out of the 270sims game series - Biden v. Trump v. Romney v. Ryan v. Cheney v...

[NYSforKennedy2024]

The funniest thing would be for these two retirees to do a No Labels run, tbh they are only slightly less kookier than everyone else mentioned

Romney is probably the only remaining person that could sway me from Biden tbh.

What's up with Jasmine Sherman, the "Fat Socialist?" She's the only one running against Stein, she seems to have some amount of charisma or at least character to her, maybe if she upped her social media game she could get the Green youth vote? She made it to the F&E debate at least.

jasmine shermans volunteer signup form asks if you are over the age of 10, if you would be willing to "use your skills in the act of trolling" and to upload your passport to prove your identity. it is not a serious campaign (and this is just scratching the surface). jill stein won the green youth caucus primary with 80% of the vote to jasmines 13%

Sherman a Fed?!?

Kennedy says that he will make a "major announcement" on May 1st in NYC at 1PM ET. Rumors suggest he'll announce that he reached the signature threshold in 3 more states, including Texas

He claims to have over 20k signatures in NY. The requirement is 45k, with a full month to go. So he should have a good surplus for when signatures get disqualified. He claims he'll hit 90k

Fully expect it to be ballot access in TX + two others and close to finished in NY. Went to his Buffalo, NY rally this past weekend which had a solid crowd of 300+.

AIP nominated a hispanic for President and black man for VP in 2020. Cry me a river.
