Why is that?
Because the US is a bourgeois settler colony, and tbh I think PSL is squandering valuable time and resources on these presidential runs.
- what should they be doing instead?
  
  Building dual power in the various communities they exist within and firebombing police stations (for legal reasons, the second half of that is a joke)
  
  Running in local elections and union elections and state elections, tbh.
- National elections are the best way to raise your profile, and they show you have national ambitions. Doing those and nothing else would be a problem, but it makes sense to have national candidates as part of a movement-building strategy.
  
  I feel like that strategy holds up more in a proportional or parliamentary system, then in a majoritarian, presidential system, like what the US has.
  The bar to enter a presidential race is so high, and requires so much effort, with so little return on investment, that it feels like a waste to me.
- yeh
