I keep getting texts from Democrats to vote for Biden and apparently the great state of Texas is a battleground state or something. Should I vote PSL or will fascists kick in my door a couple years from now? Howie Hawkins seems good, can the Greens hit 5% and does that actually matter?

I haven't followed any of this since Bernie lost on Super Tuesday.

    Call me weird but I would vote Green before writing in PSL. But if both are on the ballot I would vote PSL.

      I've heard that write ins can get thrown out easily.

        So should I avoid write ins? My state has thrown the Green party off the ballot but I don't really want to vote Democrat.

          Look at histories of how write in ballots are handled in your state. If it is bad, just ignore the president slot or any ones you don't like

      Probably being on the ballot would get them more votes than a write in, and having a third party have a larger voter share would force one of the two parties to start adopting those polices to secure those votes, right? At least that is what I remember from my high school us politics class and something about Roosevelts progressive party.
