    If you want nudge your government to the left you certainly won’t achieve it by letting the candidate from the right win.

      The problem’s voting for the candidate doesn’t work either. Or Voting 3rd party. Or Voting Republican. Or primarying in a more leftist candidate (because they often fight and lose to the DNC).

      Apparently, neither does going on record as not voting for him as a protest. Hmmmm… what was the way to move the Democrats left?

        Election reform. When third parties are viable options (they are absolutely not now and just create a spoiler effect that works against your side), politics will need to shift to accommodate those interests. Push for Ranked Choice Voting and more!
