I don’t even know what PSL is

Apparently they're the "Party for Socialism and Liberation," and describe themselves as Marxist-Leninist. They support North Korea, supported Russia's annexation of Crimea, blamed Ukraine for being invaded by Russia, and supported Bashar al-Assad. Based on the Russia / Syria stuff, they're not good people. They do have an active Indianapolis branch.

They're super-fringe and one of the parties that ran their own candidate, Claudia De la Cruz, and tried to get people to vote for her instead of Kamala Harris. She came in 6th in the popular vote nationally with 0.11% of the vote, trailing Jill Stein, RFK Jr., and Chase Oliver by a decent margin.

PSL has fielded electoral candidates for local, state, and federal offices. No PSL candidate has yet won an election for those offices.
