>>> What would the alternative be in districts that are strongly Democrat or minority? Just run nobody?
In our neck of the woods, Republicans, more often than not, don’t have opposing candidates running against the Dems.
The “alternative” has to come from the black community itself. You’d hope some (and more will) finally wake up to the decades long progressive agenda sending their community back to the plantation as seen in most of the strongly Democrat and/or minority area.
Here in CA if the top two vote getters in the primary are in the same party, they run against each other in the general. If a district is overwhelmingly one party you get a moderate vs. a conservative or leftist. It was done to help supposed moderates get elected, but the districts are so lopsided it seems to not work that way so much in reality.
