There’s been a lot of memes going around, but I genuinely have a question. If PSL were on the ballot, I would obviously vote for them. However, they’re write-in only in my state. Would writing in PSL have the same effect, or could the vote more easily be invalid or ignored.

In other words, is it better to vote for Greens if PSL is write-in only?

EDIT: THANKS FOR INPUT! I’ve decided to write in Hilary Clinton, have a wonderful day!

But really probably writing in PSL. Elections don’t matter too much though, so I’m ever in an area where PSL is active, I’ll make sure to join (which has been the plan for a while). Thanks again!

    I say vote PSL if you want a socialist revolution in this country. While your vote won’t, you know, create it or mean that Claudia and Karina will win, what it will mean is yet one more person out of tens or hundreds of thousands who says “I support a socialist option in this country”.

    A vote for the PSL, especially in a write-in state, is an indicator for desire for a socialist option, and a way to record this for the historical record and for existing socialist parties who are trying to decide where their potential base may be.
