    to vote for the guy that they think is less electable when they know their own guy already is going to get it.

    I can’t even compute why anyone would want to do that, much less imagine ‘a lot of people’ doing it. Is that, like, throwing a pity bone to the less-electable guy? Could this be how the US got Trump?

    Yall’s political shenanigans are fun, but you need ranked voting yesterday.
