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?

    DNC already made it clear you don’t matter. Your vote doesn’t matter. Bernie was cheated. They claimed in court that is all a joke, they chose any candidate by law.

    So don’t bother voting in a primary.

      I definitely share your anger from the 2020 primary. Dems did Bernie dirty because he threatened their status quo. Shitty system all around. I think its still worth voting in though. At least to express dissatisfaction, or throw off opponents. It’s something like only 15% of voters turn out for primaries, so technically your voice is like 6 times louder. Shouting into the void? I mean kinda, but eh might as well.
