Under normal circumstances, it is outrageous to support a third party against a Dem nominee in any race where the Dem nominee has a plausible path to victory against the Republican. That covers voting for Jill Stein for President or Betsy Johnson for Governor.David Schraubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946653376744012423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321349.post-82814948287895889292022-07-24T21:20:44.215-07:002022-07-24T21:20:44.215-07:00Does this apply to the Democratic Governor and Sta...Does this apply to the Democratic Governor and State Democratic Party of Kentucky, <a href="https://wfpl.org/kentucky-democratic-party-beshear-wont-back-congressional-nominee-geoff-young/" rel="nofollow">who have refused to support Geoff Young</a> who won the primary?<br /><br />Yeah, he's a bit of a nut, but he's running against Andy Barr, who is a miserable excuse for a human being.<br /><br />It does seem to be a one way street.<br /><br />I would also give the very old example of George P. Mahoney, an open segregationist whose nomination led to Spiro Agnew winning the race for Maryland Governor in 1966.
