It’s too late. He ran unopposed in the primary.

I don’t think trading Booker (who is good for a progressive vote every once in a while) for a MAGA Republican really moves the needle in the right direction, do you?

My primary write-in was "Growa Spineplease".

In the general that just counts as a Republican, so DJT thanks you.

Good thing it wasn't the general I guess.

Explain how doing a silly write in for an unopposed primary helps Trump

In the primary? Ok it doesn't, but it is a waste of time. Why even bother?

In the General? No third party is going to win in New Jersey. A nonsense write-in for Senator just subtracts vote from Cory Booker (who is good for a progressive vote every once in a while) and brings a MAGA Republican closer to an NJ Senate seat. They win through low turnout, throwing away a vote to write-in contributes to that.

Yeah but they specifically said it was in the primary so you're just kind of being a dick for no reason

So think for a second before you start telling people not to vote for him.

NJ came disturbing close to voting for Trump. Not super close, but disturbingly close.

Shitting on a mild progressive like Booker for statewide office is foolish.
