Questions about what to do Super Tuesday [View all]
I'm in one of those states. I am in a quandary about what to do with my primary vote.
As you can see below, Warren is my candidate of choice. I think she is the smartest and most capable of those running. I would prefer her to any of the other Democratic candidates. But, of course, I would prefer any of the other Democratic candidates to trump.
That said, I believe that nominating Sanders is a guaranteed trump win in November. So on Super Tuesday how do I cast my ballot. As it stands the moderate wing of the party holds a majority of support, but when you divide that by four or five, with only two progressives splitting the other side, Sanders benefits.
Polls show Biden leading by the most in the states that will matter electorally in November. But even if I ignore my sentiments and progressive wishes and vote for Biden in the primary, Sanders just gets more of the progressive vote, and with the moderates split by four or five, stands to move to an invincible number even if he doesn't really have the majority of the party supporting him.
So do I vote Warren or not? I am 50 years into voting progressive, but this year is different. My problem is the the Democratic candidates are not working to defeat trump, but to attack each other which only helps trump.
