It's weird that they aren't doing it in Colorado. We were a Bernie state in 2016 and 2020 and there's a very active PSL chapter in Denver. The swing state strategy makes sense but I'm voting for my dog if I can't vote for them.
Nationals has been looking at payoff for the work collecting signatures vs other activities of chapters and is only really encouraging a push for officially getting on the ballot if it seems like an easy time getting the necessary signatures. Even though it feels good to see PSL on the ballot we can all agree it's purely symbolic and they will never be elected in the current climate. This does a good job tamping down the criticism that we're too focused on electoralism too
