I'm voting rn and I need validation for who I choose

are the greens worth voting for in any strategic way or should I just go with psl

    PSL seems to have a level of momentum that the Greens have lacked for decades. I voted for PSL because I believe as a nominally revolutionary party they are closer to the truth than the Greens are as an explicitly electoral party. This not to shit on the Greens. Hawkins is the best candidate they put up in a long time. Arguably better than Nader. I used to be a registered Green. Went to meetings and shit even. They organized a few bus rides for anti-war protests against Bush and Obama. PSL just seems to be free of a lot of the stagnant inertia that the Greens seem to be encumbered by.

    At the end of the day though, it's a "fuck you" vote. Any practical analysis of the 2020 electoral outcome will lump Green, PSL, and a lot of write ins together in one basket. What is more important is the work they are doing outside of electioneering, which is where I think PSL wins handily.
