    But what if by campaigning for the one I like I undercut support for the other one in the general, and therefore cause the greater of two evils to be elected?

      If you’re really worried about this, then vote in the primaries the same way you would in the general, so you don’t have any doubts.

                  Nope.

                  Three months ago all of you said I supported terrorism because I was standing up for the Palestinian civilians, now because I don’t attribute a 70-year-old mutual defense agreement solely to the sitting president of 3 years who’s asking that ally to be less aggressive, all of you say I support genocide.

                  OP asked who they can vote for. That is a choice. They have a choice who they cast their vote for.

                    I said no such thing.

                    OP asked who they can vote for. That is a choice. They have a choice who they cast their vote for.

                    As long as they don’t want Trump and the fascism he promises, they have to vote for Biden and the genocide he enables. You may think voting for genocide under threat of fascism is a choice, but the threat is what makes it coercion.

                    As far as I’m concerned, calling it a choice just indicates that you would choose to vote for genocide in the absence of such a threat.
