    We are in a first past the post voting system. Your actions only make sense in a ranked choice voting system. We don’t have that.

      I can still vote in general elections for whoever I want.

      Heck, maybe they’ll listen to me more because I’m an independent voter in a swing state and not someone who they can take for granted as a party member.

          There’s almost four million Democrats in my state. My influence is so dilute that it’s practically homeopathic. I’m fine giving that up.

          If anything, being an independent voter in a swing state gives me more influence than being a loyal Democrat.
