    Even if everyone that voted third party had voted for Harris, she still would have lost. Voting rates are extraordinarily low in the US Empire in general. Both parties are ultimately capitalist parties that are entirely divorced from the working classes, and the need for a working class party like PSL is critical for any advancement.

        The party is necessary to actually overthrow the government. Voting for said party helps show that the present system is rigged, and helps get the word out about their platform. See Lady Izdihar’s diagram on the Leninist theory of revolution:

        In short, PSL is a revolutionary party that engages in electoralism not for belief in winning, but as a part of revolutionary strategy.
