🚨The Vote Socialist campaign is putting socialism on the map!🚨

Thanks to the hard work of thousands of volunteers, the majority of people in this country will see socialism on the ballot this November! Additional official write-in states are still to be announced!

The two-party system makes it incredibly difficult for third party candidates without huge financial resources to access ballots in some states. No matter what status your state is, we encourage supporters to get involved and help build the movement for a future by and for the people beyond the ballot box!

Whether you can donate your money your time, or both — we need your help.

Democratic stronghold loyal to the party above all else. Oregon has only voted for 4 Republicans since FDR: Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, and Reagan. Eisenhower was extremely popular after WWII. Nixon was after LBJ's fuck ups. Ford was a win over Carter. And Reagan was just that popular. It's also had a democratic governor for almost 40 years. Even during Reconstruction, Oregon had Democratic governors for most of that time period.

As such, Oregon democrats have free reign to stomp all over third parties.
