In reply to the discussion: Anxiety of a Bernie Sanders Democrat ticket begins to spread down the ballot in Miami [View all]bunny planet
(10,886 posts)I still think if people are actually serious about defeating trump, from whatever political grouping they fall under...only Republicans crossing the aisle and Independents who usually lean right will not vote for a straight Dem ticket....because....even if Bernie doesn't make it at the top, we will still need the Senate to stop McConnell....and of course retain the House. This is an existential election, and most people know it, not just Dems on DU. I don't think any past election even comes close in comparison to what's at stake here. There might even be people in non swing states who vote down ballot Dem and leave the Presidential choice off. My Republican mother does this all the time. She left off trump, and voted down ballot Rs in Florida. Swing state voters shouldn't do that of course, but in NJ, NY etc. if people can't stomach voting for the Socialist, I just don't see them not voting for the Senate and House candidates of the party. People are scared of trump of course, but without McConnell to aid and abet him, he'll be curtailed in what he can do regardless if he is still in the Presidency. If we have the House and the Senate we can also impeach Barr and Pompeo....that'll cut trump off at the knees. He still needs McConnell and Barr to complete his plans for MAGAtting America. So my original point....get the word out Vote Blue No Matter Who is even more important in down ballot races.....or not more important but just as important.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
