If there are no local races in which democrats can win, I suggest you vote in the republican primaries and vote for the least crazy of them, then vote in the general for the democrat.
Although I'm in a blue city and therefore can at least vote for some local officials who can win, I voted in the republican primary, specifically just to vote for "my" congressman who, despite being a republican, has been anti big-lie. I'd rather the republican candidate be him than a big-lie person.
Biden.
My actual choice would‘ve been Warren, but by the time the primaries came to Oklahoma uncle Joe looked like the strongest candidate.
You see, I went with the “smart” option other than following my heart bc at the end of the day I would’ve voted Chupacabra over tRump.
Warren wasn't on our docket at primary time either. Mr. Monster admitted his vote for Bernie was a "protest vote" because he knew Biden would get the nod in AZ, but I argued that I don't believe in protest votes!
Yeah I made that mistake in 2016.
Never ever again will I ever do that.
I will be sure to educate myself prior to our primaries as to which candidate has the best chance to beat the evil side.
I will vote for that person.
Although TBH any vote I cast in my state (Oklahoma) is a “protest vote” but I will stay and fight.
Bernie, but only because it seemed like Biden was done by the point my state primary came around, and I did not want Warren. Then folk in South Carolina were like "not so fast Bern", and Biden won it all in short order.
Biden was actually my first choice. Especially after the shit show of Trump, I figured we'd need someone who knew where the pieces all went after they were knocked off the board. I was right.

At the time, Nebraska didn't have a primary; we had caucuses; I caucused in my county for Sen. Sanders, who won my state. Since the last election, the GOP-controlled Unicameral changed the state from the caucus system to primaries, so they didn't have to pay for caucuses (state governments pay for primaries).
In the election, my vote went to Joe Biden. I have never voted knowingly voted for a Republican since my first vote in 1980 for Jimmy Carter.
State, county, and local elections in Nebraska are non-partisan (though it usually isn't hard to tell which party a candidate associates with). Currently, the Unicameral's power is held by its committees, not political parties, though state senator Julie Slama wants a constitutional amendment to allow party affiliations on ballots and in the Unicameral. (This has been tried before and lost every time since our unicameral system was adopted in 1934.)
Bernie, but I would have voted for Warren if she'd still been in it by the time California had its primary. I thought (and think) that Biden is too concerned with bipartisanship and didn't learn anything from Obama's

Are there any non-voters on this site, or those who don't vote Dem?

Agree Worry. I felt like we needed a collective hug, and Uncle Joe telling us everything was going to be alright
