This is my repost of my previous post here. My question WASN'T actually clear enough, so I had to add "United States presidential" to the title. That said, I'll start by saying I'd vote for Governor of Kentucky Andy Beshear.

You could register Republican, then vote in the Republican primary for the less evil candidate.

Then in the general election vote for the Democratic nominee.

Although I don't think many people are doing that, so maybe there's a flaw in that strategy

    I simply don’t believe the GOP is possible to save at this point. So I’d never do that.

    This wouldn't be about saving the GOP. They aren't going to collapse any time soon, and I don't think they are morally saveable either.

    It's just about getting two chances at avoiding the greatest possible evil.

    Conservatives are bad. But MAGA-progressives are downright evil.

    Yes. But how is that relevant?

    Either the Democrats win the general election, then it's irrelevant who the Republican candidate is, or they lose. Then the moderate Republican would be much better than the maga extremist.

    I guess there could be some concerns about a moderate Republican swaying more independent voters?
