[Please read the entire article - it is very thoughtful and informative. With her record on Gaza and Lebanon, voting for Harris will be difficult for millions in the US. --PL]

yes they tried, but they didn't succeed everywhere; why not put that vote to good use instead letting it go?

if you're in one of the places were the democrats succeeded; you can write them into your ballot yourself. the democrats have also made write-ins unusable; but they had less success with that than they did with banning the the green party so you have a good chance that your write in will be counted and the democrats haven't yet started banning the other other parties so you could write-in/vote for them too.

I am in Pennsylvania, and I am going to write-in Jill Stein as it looks like I can't for Claudia De la Cruze. Though all the ads about my voting record being public makes me think that even staying home sends the message to the Democrats.

they won't care if you're not part of the group they need so they won't notice.

i've learned recently that the dnc has a track record of not bothering in such environments and leaving the local democrats to fend for themselves while giving symbolic support at best; if anything at all. But you're in a battle ground state so maybe it'll be different this time.
