In this interview on Pacifica Radio KPFT 90.1 FM in Houston, Texas, Campaign Organizer Ramy Khalil discusses how it was possible for the Socialist Alternative candidate Kshama Sawant to win 29% of the vote running against the Washington State Speaker of the House as an openly Socialist candidate. This was a truly historic accomplishment for the socialist movement in the U.S. A major reason why this Socialist candidate won such a large percentage of the vote was that she did not have to run against multiple candidates; she was running against only one other candidate – a Democrat. So the typical fear that many liberals have of contributing to the election of a Republican when they consider voting for a third party candidate did not exist. Listen to the 24-minute interview to hear more secrets of the campaigns success.
