You can only know that with accurate polling, and accurate polling doesn't exist. As long as we have a two party system, the electoral college, and no ranked-choice voting, voting for the "lesser evil" is the only sane choice. It sucks, but the choice really is binary. A third party vote is a discarded vote, but if you insist on discarding that vote, at least take the time to vote pragmatically down the rest of the ticket...
lol, and I cannot stress this enough, lmao.
C'mon dude. You really think California is gonna go red this year? Grow up.
I mean, I'm represented by Ed Markey, Elizabeth Warren, and Ayanna Pressley, so...it's not not working. It's certainly better than voting for Democrats unconditionally while I whine about the electoral college and first-past-the-post polling.
*sigh …a genocide isn’t “slightly less evil.”
We have two parties supporting genocide and capitalism. But on cultural issues yes Democrats are better than Republicans. Thus they're slightly less evil.
Just like stabbing someone in a nonvital area is less evil than stabbing someone to death.
