Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said policy differences toward Israel between her and President Biden won’t stop her from supporting him in the November general election.
“Of course,” Omar said Tuesday, when asked by CNN’s Abby Phillip on “NewsNight” whether she would vote for Biden if the election were held that day, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “Democracy is on the line, we are facing down fascism.”
“And I personally know what my life felt like having Trump as the president of this country, and I know what it felt like for my constituents, and for people around this country and around the world,” Omar continued. “We have to do everything that we can to make sure that does not happen to our country again.”
Yeah, if they were leftists, they vote left on downballot and vote for realistic options that is closest to left on general. That means, third parties are out unless ranked choice is a thing.

In context of Biden, it’s to have him on the white house to get some benefits possible, and he is the most realistic option because of Duverger’s Law. Which goes back to my point of there is no good answer as to when was the last time third party has made a huge dent electorally.

Let’s see. Student debt cleared to some degree. Pay raise for low wage workers. Yes, there were some.
Also, love that you ignored the issue of Duverger’s Law.

One is observed, and the other is guess work. Nice try, anyway.

By what evidence do you have for that? We can look at vote records and note that Duverger’s Law matches electoral records, and it is based on real world observation of elections. The other one has zero predictive power because it’s not based on anything other than guess work.
