The double-standard of voters

[RandomNumbers]

1. When the opponent was/is the party of Trump, "vote blue no matter who"

is the ONLY common sense thing to do.

Even if the "blue" is Fetterman, Casey, or Manchin.

In the primaries, strategically target the DINOs ** IF** there is a reasonable chance of success. But otherwise money is better spent on a potentially winnable R seat.

Getting the gavels of both houses should be Dem's #1 policy position - when the alternative is a catastrophe like we are seeing unfold today. (and to be clear, the current disaster was entirely predictable, at least as far as the intentions of the Evil One ... if not for the so-far implementation success)

Primaries should gate-keep the GE candidates to be at least moderately left of center, if not as progressive as we like - while still electable to the general electorate. This is why I support RCV with open primaries. BUT not open primaries without RCV - that is a recipe for disaster. (and we don't seem to need any recipe ... we do just fine baking our candidates from scratch, sigh...)
