General Discussion

Anyone who really cares which of their party's candidates wins is unlikely to cast a vote for the candidate in the opposing party they think weakest.

Genuine independents who don't favor one party or the other would seem to be a rare breed, but I would imagine they would take the ballot that lets them help their GE choice.

If you think about it, they can show a progressive Democratic firebrand, a moderate centrist Democrat, a conservative long term Republican Senator preserving Texas's seniority, or a scandal plaqued far right Trumpet. Everyone should have someone they can at least unenthusiastically support.
