then Biden's only choice for a Republican VP who isn't outright fash is Bill Weld, and I have no idea who Bill Weld is apart from the fact that he's probably an ancap, with all the creepy poo poo that implies.

i've had time to digest this. If Butt is the candidate I will write in Bernie Sanders Depending on circumstances, I will reluctantly vote for Warren, Klob or Biden If Bloomberg gets the nomination, I will vote Trump 4 more years of a incompetent fascist with transparent corrupt motives is far superior to a polished and competent fascist

Luckily I don't have to worry about what to do with my vote if Bloomberg is the nominee because he'll never win Texas so I can just write in Bernard Sanders

This keeps coming up in the primary thread but I'm generally curious to see what people in this forum would do in a Bloomberg/Trump general. I would vote Trump and (reluctantly) all Dem down ballot Would you pick Bloomberg as a "lesser" evil? Write in Bernie Sanders? Not vote at all?

Bloomberg is the greater evil. If he wins (which he won't, but for the sake of argument) it means that both major parties are now in the hands of fascist oligarchs and then we're completely hosed.

twodot posted:I don't know about your state, but in my state PSL is routinely on the ballot and I'd probably vote for their candidate. (Which is what I did last election) hell yeah. I think people who don't have these options should write in candidates, instead of not voting at all. if only in the hope that the numbers of people doing so would be reported.

Destroying Bloomberg has become the greatest priority ATM, not gonna lie. We cannot afford attempts to buy the opposition to Trump, and if he gets the nom, the democratic party has to be destroyed, no if ands or buts, from both practical (we cannot have both parties in the hands of the fash oligarchs) and moral (a political party allowing itself to be brought in such a fashion must be made an example of).

We’re completely hosed anyway if Bernie doesn’t win. Like, asking leftists and socialists to vote for fascist oligarchs, fake Indians, and centrists after they stole the nomination TWICE is hilarious. oxsnard posted:i've had time to digest this. If Bloomberg is the nominee, don’t vote - just work on trying to move out of the country before a synthesis of Mad Max and Blade Runner becomes a reality.

It may well be the lesser evil, as allowing the theft of the democrats by the other fash oligarch may be more damaging than 4 more years of Trump.

I will vote for any democratic nominee other than Bloomberg. Even Pete, I think. But I'm not voting Bloomberg and I can't bring myself to vote Trump so if Bloomberg is the nominee I'll vote 3rd party or write in Bernie Sanders, depending on the 3rd party options.

To contribute: there's not a chance in hell I'd vote for Bloomberg if he wins the nomination. I'd at least vote for any of the other nominees. I'd throw Warren a few bucks and might do some door knocking in November. For Bernie, I'll very likely be selling a bunch of stuff that I don't need so I can max out my donations and would volunteer hundreds of hours to his campaign.

So, I'm going to pose a question that I think the majority of us will need to ponder in the next 8 or so months. Does it make sense to vote for Biden, thinking Trump must be replaced over anything else, even if Biden is not much better (and likely going senile)? Or do we choose Trump, with the risk that it will accelerate Democrats even further left as back to back establishment nominations and rallying against Bernie caused eight years of Trump? With Biden you're validating the establishment and you may not ever have another chance. I'd probably write in Sanders if that's the case, but a write-in vote is basically a Trump vote so have to think in that mindset. I know even thinking about voting for Trump in these parts is treading on thin ice, but I think it's going to get brought up more and more.

I'm definitely grappling with that myself. At the moment I'm leaning toward leaving the Presidential choice blank and just voting down ticket. I think for me it may depend on who the VP is and how likely they could take over in 2024 if needed. I just really loving hate the establishment right now and can't believe so many people didn't learn poo poo from 2016.
