Not sure what the move is here in Michigan in a couple days. Bernie Sanders is my dream candidate. But not an option obviously, so what is the best use of my vote in terms of Game Theory here? Do I vote someone other than Trump on the Republican side of the ticket to make his efforts more difficult? Or vote Uncommitted or another Democrat to communicate my want for a younger / further left leaning president? Or do I just get in line and vote Biden. Someone who I think has done a good job, but not gone far enough. I want someone younger that can connect with my issues, and do even more for the working / middle class. Someone that is younger that will understand younger issues like internet privacy and data protection.

Whatcha think lemmy?

The GOP has declared war on us, and it's past time people realized it.

In a sane country, Trump would have been toast after he said he 'liked soldiers who didn't get captured.' This isn't the time for half measures and worrying about some pie in the sky Left candidate who will ride in at the last second.

Oh I completely agree with you. I don't expect a Left candidate to pop up and take the nomination at all. But I think the more votes candidates like that get, the more viability they have in the future. The more future donations they'll be able to pull in, etc.
