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.
