New primary system..

[def90]

So.. I’m an unafilliated voter so I get to vote in the primary now. I got two ballots in the mail, one republican, one democrat, I get to pick one or.the other. What should be my stratagy? Pick the person I think is the worst person available on the side that I would prefer to lose or pick the best person available on the side that I would prefer to win?

Thank you for reminding me why this new "unaffiliated voters get to monkey-wrench the primaries" thing is complete and utter bullshit.

LOL.. I totally get where you're coming from. And this post may be more in jest than serious.

On the other hand.. based on who is in the D camp and the current 2A climate and platforms they are running on I can be 100% sure I'm not voting D.. so, who has the stronger candidate right now? It doesn't seem like there is a strong R front runner, so do I muddy the D camp or pick one of the R's not really knowing at the moment who would be the best R?

I might vote as a D in the primary this year just so I can vote against Polis for Governor. The sleazeball MF has invested almost $8 million of his own money in the campaign so far, and still is behind the other D in the race. It would be sweet justice if he lost.

Figure out which Democrat is the weakest candidate and vote for them (as ethically distasteful as I find all this )

Hmm. Why hadn’t I thought about this before?

I might just straight up register as a D so I can try and get the worst candidates on the ballot then just cast my vote for the R when it’s election time.

Could be a viable strategy if we could get millions of people to follow suit.

Vote the most batshit insane leftist for the dems, vote the most right leaning GOP person in the areas of gun rights/immigration.

Yeah, because leaving 1/3 of the voters out of the primary is a good idea... I was "unaffiliated" before I left, because I couldn't bear to be affiliated with the idiocy that was the Colorado GOP.

I've seen this being done already.. I'm just about the hardest (R) leaning county in the state... and there are (D) voters going to the polls calling over the walls about what is this biggest Demtard they can vote for... I couldn't keep a straight face. but in reality, it's the only way to make a vote count here... it's obviously going to go (R) in the end.

Same thing here. Probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 to 30 percent of state and local offices don't even get a D candidate because they know it's a waste of time and money. The down side is you may have 8 or 9 R candidates running for a seat and it's hard to wade thru the BS to pick the best one.
