Yes, but what does that do? The class criteria might suit European political parties, but what we have here are a corporate capitalist duopoly and a series on non-party one-shot protest candidates. (I'm not including RFK who was always just trying to slip into one or the other of them.)
No section of the ruling class supports Stein or West or any of spectrum of socialist candidates. My argument about the irrelevance of having Republican or Democratic operatives messing around with independent candidates is that it just happens when an independent campaign gets big enough. Given their management, it doesn't seem that any socialist groups will have to worry about in the near future.
