In All Seriousness: PSL or Greens? (hexbear.net)

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!

Well, if they were running for local positions I think that it would be important to vote for them for those positions so that they can build power locally, and if they had already built popular support through local campaigns throughout the country and then ran the Presidential campaign then it would be important to vote for them for that to escalate their position and put them into direct conflict with the highest levels of the DNC/GOP.
