Stage 1: The Primaries
Between now and the Democratic National Convention in August, the Democratic Party and the mainstream media would like everyone to think that the only Democrat running for President is Joe Biden. But that is not the case! Most states between now and then will hold primaries, and this is your chance to vote for a candidate other than Joe Biden without in any way risking the election of Donald Trump!
Democratic Primary Candidates:
Dean Phillips
If you are concerned about Biden remaining President because you care about humanity’s survival, this is your opportunity to say so, loud and clear and with no risk whatsoever of giving support or comfort to the “other guy.” You may not like either of these other candidates, or the thought of supporting someone who has virtually no chance of winning the nomination. But you can still vote to survive and the more attention – and the more votes – these other Democratic primary candidates get, the more powerful the message we send to Biden and his team that we are not happy with what he is doing right now!
There is also the possibility that at the Democratic Convention, anything could happen. If we really want to survive and don’t want Biden or Trump, we should be doing all we can to push Biden off the Democratic ticket. And the best way to do that is to start supporting his primary opponents and taking them more seriously. It’s not too late!
And if the Democratic Convention goes on to “anoint” Biden as the Democratic candidate, there are still opportunities to register our displeasure and vote to survive without actually risking a Trump victory. But that is stage two, which does not begin until August 2024…
Stage 2: The General Election
Third Party Candidates
Jill Stein
Cornel West
Robert Kennedy
Even if Biden is “anointed” as the Democratic candidate at the party convention in August, it is still possible for voters to cast a vote to survive without risking the election of Donald Trump. But how you vote in state 2 depends on where you live.
If you live in (A.) a “safe” (Red or Blue) state, which is virtually guaranteed to vote Democrat or Republican no matter how many people vote for another party, you can vote for a third party candidate with relatively little risk of changing the outcome of the vote in your state.
And if you live in (B.) a “battleground (Purple) state,” you still have to opportunity to vote for a third party candidate so long as you are willing to swap your vote with someone in a solid red or blue state. That means you would cast your ballot for Biden, but on the condition that someone else in a “safe state” votes for the candidate of your choice.
