Presidential Race

Kamala Harris

If you are concerned about continuing with the status quo of this Administration because you care about humanity’s survival, this is your opportunity to say so, loud and clear and with no risk whatsoever of giving support or comfort to the “other guy.” You may not like these other candidates, or the thought of supporting someone who has virtually no chance of winning the nomination. But you can still vote to survive and the more attention – and the more votes – these other candidates get, the more powerful the message we send to Kamala Harris and her team that we are not happy with what is going on right now! 

Third Party Candidates

Jill Stein, Green Party

Cornel West, Independent

Peter Sonski, American Solidarity

Claudia de la Cruz, Party for Socialism and Liberation

Chase Oliver, Libertarian

It is still possible for voters to cast a vote to survive without risking the election of Donald Trump. But how you vote depends on where you live.

If you live in (A.) a “safe” (Red or Blue) state, which is virtually guaranteed to vote Democrat or Republican no matter how many people vote for another party, you can vote for a third party candidate with relatively little risk of changing the outcome of the vote in your state.

If you live in (B.) a “battleground (Purple) state,” you still have to opportunity to vote for a third party candidate so long as you are willing to swap your vote with someone in a solid red or blue state. That means you would cast your ballot for Harris, but on the condition that someone else in a “safe state” votes for the candidate of your choice.

And if you live in a “marginal” (Light Red or Light Blue) state, you have a choice of whether to vote for a third party candidate knowing it is unlikely to change the outcome, or to play it safe and vote for Harris just to be sure.
