Not sure what the move is here in Michigan in a couple days. Bernie Sanders is my dream candidate. But not an option obviously, so what is the best use of my vote in terms of Game Theory here? Do I vote someone other than Trump on the Republican side of the ticket to make his efforts more difficult? Or vote Uncommitted or another Democrat to communicate my want for a younger / further left leaning president? Or do I just get in line and vote Biden. Someone who I think has done a good job, but not gone far enough. I want someone younger that can connect with my issues, and do even more for the working / middle class. Someone that is younger that will understand younger issues like internet privacy and data protection.

Whatcha think lemmy?

I definitely share your anger from the 2020 primary. Dems did Bernie dirty because he threatened their status quo. Shitty system all around. I think its still worth voting in though. At least to express dissatisfaction, or throw off opponents. It's something like only 15% of voters turn out for primaries, so technically your voice is like 6 times louder. Shouting into the void? I mean kinda, but eh might as well.
