Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying Lauren Bobert is a libertarian, she is FAR from it. What I meant was when the options are:
Moderate democrat Whackadoodle republican (Bobert) Libertarian My 1st choice would be libertarian, 2nd choice would be moderate democrat (they do exist) 3rd choice is NOT the whackadoodle In CO 35-40% of voters are republican, 35-40% democrat and 20-30% independent If I don’t vote for the democrat and vote for the libertarian there’s enough republicans that my vote becomes a “throwaway” vote and i instead inadvertently help the whackadoodle get elected. Which is the WORST possible outcome. Ranked choice voting would solve this but that’s a discussion and a can of worms for another thread/day lol. -Sean On Thu, May 19, 2022 at 4:47 PM Jason McKemie < j.mcke...@veloxinetbroadband.com> wrote: > Yeah, the nutjobs ruined that designation.
