They believe the Greens are a Republican+Russian psyop and have put a lot of effort into getting them off the ballot and even running ads against them.
They probably don't even know what PSL is.๐

Both are the exact same thing: a vote for Trump, so how could there be a difference between how mad they'll make libs? 
If voting PSL or Greens is the same as voting Trump, why does that make the libs mad? I thought they wanted to reach across the aisle to a strong republican party?
Green feels like a powerful pick in the short-run, but PSL really feels like the ideal party for much later in terms of election cycles.
I'm PSL on all downballot but Jill for Prez cause she's gonna get all the lib hate when Kamala loses. Because genocide.
What the hell does this mean. PSL downballot??
During us elections you often have house, state, and local elections at the same time. These are traditionally below the presidential vote if on a single ballot.
I know, but PSL generally does not run in these races.
It means if we're not in a revolution, and we are focusing on electoralism, then PSL needs down ballot candidates. City council, dog catcher, I don't care. Something other than president because president isn't going to happen. We need activism on the local level.
PSL is not running because of electoralism. They're running as a tactic to expand their organization. It's for propaganda and outreach, not for making change by winning elections.
the Greens for sure, in lemmy world most of their posts are about the evil putin-controlled greens trying to get trump to win
I mean, it is Pumpkin Spice Latte season
Greens. Libs actually are aware of their existence
PSL
Vote for the only true American heroes, spider-man and spongebob
write ins aren't tallied unless there are more votes for write-ins than any listed candidate
Depends on the state
I feel like telling people you did a write in candidate is more akin to "throwing your vote away" to libs then the Greens. They'll say "I've never even heard of PSL why would you vote for them!?"
Stein would make them madder but PSL has two nonwhite names so that'll make them more scared, your call
