BLUE WAVE CLEANING POWER REMOVES STUBBORN ORANGE STAINS
Funny, that’s the exact opposite of what I’d like to see in Canada.
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.
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?
You can switch who you campaign for after the nominee is selected.
Why even have a primary if everyone is going to be too afraid to vote for anyone but the most popular candidate? The primaries also serve to inform the nominees and party leadership what policy positions matter to the members. The votes for less popular candidates represent voters who the nominees have to win over before the general election. That can lead to policy changes. For example, I doubt Biden would have championed student loan forgiveness if Sanders hadn’t gotten so many primary votes. If you don’t vote according to your actual preferences it just reinforces the status quo.
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.
Assuming the DNC even honors the vote lmao.
Wake up people.
You are picking a fascist to stop a fascist.
I think you’re supposed to stay home for the primary, then loudly complain about the nominees.
