Eat the Vote pods
In a primary, should I vote for the person I want to win who couldn’t possibly win the general election because I’m a weirdo, or the one that everyone says has the best chances to beat the evil fascists? Oh, and what if everyone says I want the fascists to win if I vote for the weirdo?
The primary is when you should vote for candidates you can think about liking. The general is the time for lesser of two evils nonsense.
Yep, I voted for Bernie in the 2016 and 2020 primaries. In the general, I voted for the candidate he endorsed. In November, I’ll be voting for his endorsed candidate again.
I feel like that endorsement practically came at gunpoint. Biden is a staunch republican compared to bernie. I’ll be voting green on principle unless by some miracle a actual decent candidate enters into this one.
But what if by campaigning for the one I like I undercut support for the other one in the general, and therefore cause the greater of two evils to be elected?
If you’re really worried about this, then vote in the primaries the same way you would in the general, so you don’t have any doubts.
Or any choice.
Voting is a choice. What do you mean?
When you have only one barely acceptable option, there is no choice. Only coercion.
You must live a privileged life to think that the right to vote is coercion.

I think you’re supposed to stay home for the primary, then loudly complain about the nominees.
So democrats are having actual primaries? No? This it’s just gloating that we’re stuck with Biden?
Ide register republican just to vote in their primaries, but their fundraising is insufferable.
They occasionally have real people text you instead of a robot and those conversations can be fun
IIRC due to the Can SPAM Act they can’t use robo-txting. There has to be another person on the other end.
It doesn’t stop the ones that are already doing illegal shit, but it stops the legit PACs that don’t want millions in fines.
There are DNC candidates like Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson. Maybe Cenk Uygur who was born in Turkey so…not actually a valid candidate. He was a Republican 20 years or so ago, so it makes sense that he wouldn’t think that the Constitution applies to him.
I had to look it up because I had no idea because the DNC (as in the organization itself) has been asleep at the wheel as usual favoring one candidate.

Funny, that’s the exact opposite of what I’d like to see in Canada.
