It’s sometimes said that if some people didn’t have double standards, they’d have no standards at all. That applies to the Freedom Socialist Party.

In 2012, their official website was pushing for a drastic increase in the minimum wage. In fact, they pushed for a full $20 per hour minimum wage, even for the most basic jobs:

Their ad, posted on both indeed.com and craigslist.org, can be seen here:



This is what their Craigslist ad looks like:



And next to the ad on indeed is the Freedom Socialist Party’s symbol, so there is no doubt that it is them:



Even further confirming that this is the Socialist Party’s ad, VoterGuide.gov has their address listed as 4710 University Way NE, Suite 100, Seattle, WA 98105, the same as in the ad.
