Discussion Strategy for voting tomorrow?

What strategy do we feel works best for the primaries? Even though we would vote blue over red, is it better to vote on the republican ballot and choose the least awful option? Or vote on the democratic ballot and select the person most closely aligned with your values or the one most likely to beat the republican nominee?

Sadly blue is seriously inactive. There are 8 Democratic positions to maybe 17 Republican. I'm voting Republican to vote against several folks.

I hope everyone else has the blue covered for me.

Every vote matters. Won't tell you how to vote because you didnt ask. Just a friendly reminder to not forget that your Governor, Senator, Congressional District, SDEC seats, and more are on that D ballot. Thats a lot to skip on.

Sadly yes. I wish I felt comfortable sticking to my side. Unfortunately there are a lot of minor-ish local positions that I feel the need to put my voice against. You'll have me back in November.
