The only reason not to do so is the vanishingly rare chance that democrats turn a red state, which is basically the exact same argument they use to tell people to vote blue no matter who, but more compelling because it's not typical genocidal am*rican politicians they're voting for.

What are they going to do? Tell you they want to vote for a war criminal on principle? The positive political pressure of having a somewhat popular socialist party far outweighs the small chance democrats could have won (and this is even from their perspective, that the democrats winning would fix everything somehow)

I wrote above, afaik they should still count as valid write ins bc there's automatic write-in access in the state, unlike Georgia where they were fought off the ballot by the (anti-)Democratic bourgeois party's high-finance lawyers, which requires specific write-in registration (for which the deadline has passed). They're just not valid as ballot choices in the state anymore. But it should allow write-ins as far as I can tell because it's an automatic write-in access state per the Election Assistance Commission source I linked

just can't choose them directly on ballot (even if they are still listed bc it's too close to election to reprint. That would probably spoil ballot).

Pennsylvania: "Hey, we aren't Georgia!... yet"

Georgia: "Hey, we aren't Florida!"

Florida: "Hey, we... uh..."

I do hope they get properly counted though. It would be funny to hear the libs melting down if like 1000 PA voters write in PSL and the news channels show it at the very bottom. Then Harris loses by like 900 votes.
