Are you considering pulling a dem ballot? I live in Georgia and there is nothing worth voting for in the GOP primary (Loeffler will beat Doug Collins in the Senate primary) so i am going to pull a Dem ballot and cast a vote for one of their candidates. I am between Bernie and Buttigieg and am looking to help the most beatable candidate in November, who should I vote for?

Bernie is obviously more radical and will not appeal to many if any centrists but he has a string base. Buttigieg appeals to centrists much better but being gay is a big drawback when it comes to nonwhite voters. So who would I be best off voting for?

No. Too many important contested GOP races down-ballot.

The Texas Board of Education is especially important, and there are multiple contested races there.

I want Bernie to be their nominee for two reasons. One, I don't see him winning a single swing state once Trump starts hammering the fact that he's a proud socialist. Second, it would be a solid vote on where America stands on socialism, and if Trump wins in a landslide, it hopefully will force the dem majority to swing back to the middle instead of catering to the far left.

But with that said, there's no way that I won't vote in the Republican primary in Alabama. I'm still holding out hope that we can keep Sessions from the nomination (and thus getting back into the Senate).

Colorado - Open primary state and only thing on the GOP ticket is POTUS. So for primary I'm voting Bernie. Then MAGA in November.

You should probably research that in the near future.

I'll be voting on the Libertarian ballot. Nothing I do on the dem ballot will make any difference and there isn't a candidate that stands out anymore.

you must be new to politics.

the dims don't swing. everything is driven to reach one goal.
all roads lead to one place. absolutely no such thing as a right turn at any intersection.
each intersection has only the one sign that reads "left turns only."

you get the picture?

How old are you?

Do you remember Billy Jeff?

He was a marked “turn right,” as compared to his Dem prdecesors.
