Presidential Election – Nov 5th, 2024
South Carolina is a solid RED state that Trump won in 2016 and in 2020. Harris has little to no chance of winning this state in 2024.

In South Carolina, it is safe to vote for a third-party candidate in the general election, without fear that this will help get Trump back into the White House. He will win this state anyway (and if he doesn’t, he has already lost the national election).
If you want your vote to count as a vote to survive, vote for Jill Stein on November 5th! Jill stands for a ceasefire in Gaza, negotiations in Ukraine, an end to warmongering with China, the abolition of nuclear weapons and a full-scale mobilization to address the climate emergency.

House Races
The best we can hope for in 2024 at the Presidential and Senate levels is to prevent Donald Trump and 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 currently no progressive candidates running for the House of Representatives in this state.
