I vigorously object to the characterization that it’s meddling! It’s simply literally telling the electorate the truth about Republican candidates! How can that be considered meddling when Democrats do literally zero to force Republicans in their primaries to vote for the any specific candidate? Democrats do not manipulate the vote tallies or suppress the vote or anything. All they are doing is literally telling the truth about candidates and making sure everyone knows these truths through the press and through advertisements. Republicans in their own primaries, if they freely choose for themselves the furthest right wing candidates possible from those candidates running? That is their choice. Literally. And if those candidates lose every time in the general election, that is literally on Republicans. That Democratic candidates do better in that lineup is fortunate for small d democracy considering the state of the Republican Party, but Democrats do not meddle. Telling the truth is not meddling and that framing is very much trying to make this a “both sides are bad” thing. Nope nope nope nope.
There is a cliche, "Be careful what you wish for; you may get it." That is true here. National politics are not the same as local politics, and what works in a certain district in Michigan does not work for the nation as a whole.
I believe in laissez faire. The Republicans seem to be doing enough damage to themselves without any help. Besides which, I’d like to see the Dems able to maintain a clear conscience at the very least.
I’m back and forth on which evil is worse ... Trump will probably try to be a dictator, but he’s also generally inept and people around him can’t move the ball. I’m many ways, DeSantis is scarier

It might be an alluring strategy, but it is unethical. If my party turns into another Republican junk house, I quit.
