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 think the biggest impact a third party vote could have is to have a third party turnout high enough that news casters have to actually mention it, which the Greens are much more likely to achieve.

    Also Jill Stein got arrested at an anti-genocide protest this year, which is pretty cool.

    My heart still says PSL though.

      Same goes for Claudia though

      I'll up that to the biggest impact is taking the state away from a dem or a rep candidate so you'd actually matter politically
