6. My NY Primary vote matters! My general election, not as much.

But I'll write in Bernie in the general if he's not the D candidate, just as I did with Zephyr Teachout.

I'm definitely voting for Bernie in the primary here in NY.

If he wins, I'll vote for him in the general.
If he doesn't, I'll vote for him as a write-in in the general.

In NY, my general election vote doesn't matter, because NY is a strong blue state. The D candidate will take it, whether I vote or not. So why not vote for Bernie there, too?

I voted for Teachout in the NY Governor primary, but she didn't win. I wrote in Teachout in the general election instead of Cuomo, because he was going to win regardless. So fuck Cuomo.

10. This is only a safe civil disobedience act in strongly blue states.

Anyone in a swing state needs to pull the actual D lever in the general.
