And how close are they to 1) winning any political office, 2) influencing the system in more subtle ways., or 3) launching effective protests, rallies, strikes, ro otehr extra-legal methods of advancing socialism.: Thanks for any information

I'm not actually an "activist" for P&F so I have no "inside" information. I do know from my own experience in various civil actions, that the P&F supporters seem more willing to risk arrest than the Greens but that's just a subjective impression. (the arrests were Earth First! type actions). They are also unapologetically up-front about their support of socialism - a word the Greens (in California) seem unable to utter.
The Party was formed largely in reaction to the Vietnam War. They garner no more than around 3% of the vote. They have become somewhat marginalized as the Greens came on the scene (and whose candidates and demos I sometimes support).
A lot of info can be found here
None.
