Kamala Harris is disturbingly complicit with genocide in Gaza and is beholden to the same special interests that are fuelling the climate crisis and endless wars. But letting Trump win this election would be a disaster, not only for this country, but for the world.
No matter who is the next President, we are going to have to keep fighting for the changes we want to see. But if you really want to have any chance of influencing the policies of the next administration, you want Kamala Harris in the White House, because you will have zero leverage with a Trump presidency. If Harris wins this election by a just a handful of votes in Nevada and a few other purple states, she will actually owe it to those voters who were willing to “swap” their vote to get her elected. That’s leverage power!
Vote-swapping simply means being willing to vote for Harris in Nevada, in exchange for someone in a red or blue state voting for the third party candidate of your choice. There is no guarantee that they will do this, but if it is someone you trust, it is worth a shot.
Voting for a third party candidate in Nevada is not going to make it any more likely that they win the election. But the total votes they get nationwide does matter, because the more they get, the stronger the message that sends to Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party, and the country.
So if you are unhappy with Trump and Harris, and you live in Nevada, please consider swapping your vote with someone you know in a red or blue state who may be willing to add a vote for your favorite third party candidate there.
And if you don’t know anyone personally who fits that description, sign up with VoteSwap24 to be partnered with someone in one of those states who wants to swap votes with you.

Presidential Election – Nov 5th, 2024
This means, because of the electoral system that we have, that your vote, if you live in Nevada, is as crucial to the final outcome as it would be if you lived in a “battleground” state like Pennsylvania, Michigan or Wisconsin.
If you live in Nevada, your vote is critical to our survival. If you vote for a third party or don’t vote at all, you might as well be giving your vote to Trump in this state. It’s that close. Please vote! And please vote for Harris in this state, even though he is not the candidate we need for our survival. If you cannot bear the thought of voting for Harris, please consider vote swapping!

Senate Race
Incumbent Democratic Senator Jacky Rosen is up for re-election and is being challenged by Republican Sam Brown. The polls show a very close race, and this is a must win seat for Democrats if they are to retain control of the Senate. Republican control of the Senate would make passing Harris legislation nearly impossible. Therefore, a vote for Jacky Rosen is a vote to survive!
House Races
The best we can hope for in 2024 at the Presidential and Senate levels is to prevent Donald Trump and the Republicans from re-taking control so that we will at least survive the next four years. But in the medium term, we need to elect politicians who support the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, the Nuclear Ban Treaty and other real, sustainable solutions to the global threats facing us all.
Luckily, we already have over 100 such politicians in the House of Representatives. We need to make sure they get re-elected, and we need to elect more of them!
There are no members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus from Nevada.
