    I understand the motivation for this, but it’s a terrible plan when the other option is Trump. After this election, when Trump will prove too senile to run again, maybe we can revolt against our lackluster vanilla options.

    I’m so confused by all these comments. Does nobody know what a primary is? That’s precisely the time to vote your conscience or register a protest vote; all the (valid) arguments about helping Trump only apply in the general election.

      Right, because things that happen now won’t have consequences later. Surely a primary result where “uncommitted” or other non-Biden choice gains traction wouldn’t be used by the GOP to trash the only viable Democrat running for president.

        That makes no sense. The GOP will trash any Democratic candidate regardless, even if they have to make up shit to do so. If you want a candidate that will appeal to GOP voters, you’ll be best off with a Republican.
