Re: Democratic Challengers 2020 - 12: The End of the Beginning
No it's not.
Let's assume a small town mayoral race with 4 voters. 2 people vote for X. 1 person votes for Y. You are the last vote. Your candidate rankings are Z>Y>X.
If you vote for Z, X wins.
If you vote for Y, you force a tie.
By voting Z even though he cannot win, you give X the win even though he is your least favorite candidate.
This is game theory 101. The moderate wing of the Democratic Party learned its lesson from the GOP in 2016 and consolidated before it was too late.
If you're too principled to see that, then we can't change your mind, but you're still wrong.
