Unaffiliated Voter in CO - Who to vote for in Primaries? - eviltoast

In Colorado this year (2024), unaffiliated voters were mailed out their ballots for both the Democratic and Republican Presidential Primaries and get the chance to vote in one or the other (NOT both).

I’m fairly centrist. I lean left on progressive ideals and right on economic (yeah, it’s fun /s).

The question is, who’s should I put my vote in for? Is it better to vote for Biden or another candidate in the Democratic, or another candidate that isn’t Trump in the Republican. Again, we can only vote in one of the primaries or our vote won’t count if we vote in both. It’s one or the other.

What is best?

    From a risk mitigation perspective, I would vote for Republican not Trump.

    There is no scenario where a sitting president that’s eligible for re-election does not end up as the candidate for their party.

      That’s kind of where I was leaning. I’m more interested in keeping Trump off the ballot than anything else. It’s real doubtful that it won’t happen but I don’t want to contribute to it either. Obviously the main idea is that he doesn’t become President again.
