Unaffiliated Voter in CO - Who to vote for in Primaries? (lemmy.world)

In Colorado this year (2024), unaffiliated voters were mailed out their ballots for both the Democratic and Republican Presidential Primaries and get the chance to vote in one or the other (NOT both).

I’m fairly centrist. I lean left on progressive ideals and right on economic (yeah, it’s fun /s).

The question is, who’s should I put my vote in for? Is it better to vote for Biden or another candidate in the Democratic, or another candidate that isn’t Trump in the Republican. Again, we can only vote in one of the primaries or our vote won’t count if we vote in both. It’s one or the other.

What is best?

I'm also in Colorado and unaffiliated. I ended up voting for Gabriel something on the democratic ballot. I'm probably more leftist than you are. I kinda wish that I had thought of what the other commenter said about voting for a Republican that's not Trump.

If you go the route of voting for a Republican that's not Trump, research the candidates and choose the lesser evil. Most of them should have websites for their campaigns. If they don't have one, don't vote for that person. They probably aren't serious about it.

Greatest evil (that's not Trump) probably has better odds.

Honestly, you're not wrong. I just want to have hope in humanity. 😭
