In Colorado this year (2024), unaffiliated voters were mailed out their ballots for both the Democratic and Republican Presidential Primaries and get the chance to vote in one or the other (NOT both).
I’m fairly centrist. I lean left on progressive ideals and right on economic (yeah, it’s fun /s).
The question is, who’s should I put my vote in for? Is it better to vote for Biden or another candidate in the Democratic, or another candidate that isn’t Trump in the Republican. Again, we can only vote in one of the primaries or our vote won’t count if we vote in both. It’s one or the other.
What is best?
Vote for the candidate with the best chance of winning that you least don’t un-hate the most.
Imagine that this needs to be your thought process for an election. Fucking sad.
It’s a shame. But that’s what you get in a first past the post voting system. A two party system with high negative partisanship.
