Spock, 69, hopes to be on presidential ballots in 20 states by November, building a nucleus of reformers in half the cities. He says focus is on momentum and changing the system, not vote totals, and notes a groundswell of radicalization among voters tired of old politicians. He and Julius Hobson lead a nationwide, grassroots coalition seeking health care for all, educational equity, workers’ input in industry, and a reduced U.S. role overseas. The party is on ballots in ten states and seeks to double that by fall while relying on small donor support.
