last election I just wrote in stalin and lenin repeatedly for any race that didn't have a radical enough candidate, so you could try that
I live in a state that will likely never come close to voting anything other than republican within my lifetime. I personally show up to vote for local elections and vote for whatever socialist presidential nominee out of spite.
While my politics are ML I would consider voting for someone like Bernie again because I still find it favorable to the alternative.
Vote for Democrats in the general because it's better for the seat to be warned than occupied.
Vote progressive in primaries to get better Democrats in place.
Well said. Half the country is already exercising option 1, and that's not creating positive change. ACTUAL change is local, and slow. You need ground-swell to affect national elections.
You hold your nose and vote for the D.
Then you go out and work for good candidates in the D primaries.
Third party candidates only help the GOP. Anderson in 1980, and Nader in 2000. The GOP was pouring money to the Greens and Libertarians in 2016.
Nader in 2000
lol, imagine still whining about Nader and not realizing 2000 was a stolen election.
You need to still vote Democrat. Even if they aren't perfect, they're still better than letting a Republican in. Republicans always vote.
