I live in WA state, greater Seattle area. Hard “blue no matter who” country.

Today is the primary, most partisan races have a single republican while some don’t have any republican candisates. One has a third party I’ve never heard of and all have multiple democrats running. We are now a “jungle primary’ state where top two go to general.

So my dilemma… vote my true conscious as I did with Ross Perot (flush the vote), keep voting republican as usual, or knowing it will be a dem winner put my vote on the least loony dem.

Assuming a republican makes it to the general in Nov, they will get my vote. For the primary though I am kinda trying to help the least repulsive dem get there.

Thoughts?

Question:
Principal above all else or try to mitigate the level of disaster

Choices:
Principal! Bitch and complain freely how much better it would be if your guy one.
Accept dem dominion but try to mitigate the disaster and vote for least repugnant
WA is a lost cause, use the ballot for firestarter or TP
Other

 

I’m in much the same situation as you here in California.

I voted for the best Republican candidate in the primary. They came in a distant 5th.

Next week is the actual election vote. Two Democratic candidates are the only ones on the ballot.

I can’t vote for either. They both state in their platform that they will stand up to Trump etc.

Did I mention that this is to replace Swalwell. Yah, that’s my district and I have absolutely no representation…

It’s truly frustrating.

I voted other..wich would be pack up and move to a free state. I couldnt live under that rule!!

I live in upstate NY. I'll never vote for a Democrat. And that's all I've got to say about that.

With the Dem party the way it is, the only one in the country I would vote for is John Fetterman.
