And what are their chances to win currently?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

0, they aren't qualified in enough states to get 270 electoral college votes, and even if they did get 270, the electoral college would disqualify them. PSL is a revolutionary party, they participate in bourgeois elections so you can signal strength, protest vote, and draw attention to the party itself so more people join.

You're not understanding leftists if you think they can enact change electorally.

1 in 19 quintillion, roughly.

No, it's actually 0. They literally are mathematically incapable of obtaining the 270 electoral votes needed to win.

They exist to siphon votes from the Democratic party, it is as simple as that.

Oh I know. I just wanted them to admit it so I know that they know.

I wouldn’t know, I’m not much of a gambler so the odds aren’t really in my mind.
