Apologies in advance for further inundating everybody's headspace with celebrity slop, but I wanted to blab about this:

I generally have no faith in public personalities to hold any convictions at all, so it has been refreshing for Hasan to adhere to his position against voting for Gruesome Newscum. I don't at all mean to imply that he's perfect, or that people should look to him as a leader in any respect, it's just nice to see something like that happening and getting broad exposure. Feels good.

Were the PSL candidates on the ballot in Cali?

Even if we just assume that the Dems were the leftmost party and not even the Greens were on the ballot and you couldn't write anyone in, it's a more reasonable calculus in that situation to not vote because it's the only way to communicate something compatible with left-opposition.

Absolutely. Turns out they were on the ballot though, and he still went with Kamala.

Yes, nominated by the Peace and Freedom Party (only explicitly socialist party with ballot access in CA, PSL candidates have run through PFP in CA for a while now)

they were under a different party name i think because of how ballot access works
