    There is no course of action which is productive to our interests.

    If you honestly believe this, then the only rational move is to use your vote strategically to increase the chances of the viable candidate - who most closely aligns with your belief - getting elected. Effectively throwing your vote away on an unviable candidate increases the chances of the candidate less like you will win.

    Play the game you’re playing, not the one you wish you were.

    And to answer your question, definitely 2. Although I believe i’m missing something.

      I am. I hope to demonstrate the Democrat party is non-viable when it refuses to make material compromises with leftists and progressives.

        You admit it’s not a way forward, but then argue as if it is. I don’t follow.

                Chances are way higher that you get someone through the primaries on a major ticket and they win the election. Probably nearly infinitely so.

                  What are you basing this on?

                    You said earlier that even if progressives got someone through on the dem ticket, that they would still lose the general election because liberals would vote republican.

                    And you need it explained why writing someone in has even less of a shot?
