I will back whoever is the best candidate in the primaries (if it's Bernie, so be it). I will then back the most practical choice to remove Trump from office in the general election (even if it ends up not being my 1st choice in the primaries). It's likely this person will share many, if not most of my political and personal moral values, but not all of them, making them a good, but imperfect choice. I recognize that I am but 1 of millions of registered voters which means it's not possible for everyone to have their dream candidate in office. Paraphrasing something I heard somewhere: The primaries are the time to vote ideologically, the general election is the time to vote pragmatically.
All of this being said I still think the electoral college is an outdated piece of crap and believe that ranked choice elections would go far to solve a lot of the issues we have with campaign ethics.
