What difference does it make if you vote for someone on the WFP line vs the democratic line if it is in-fact the same candidate?

You're helping a third party stay on the ballot and keep their recognized third party status.

The WFP does sometimes run their own candidates and it's my hope that should we get ranked choice voting that they would become much more committed to progressive policies, although I don't think they'll ever get my first vote in that scenario considering their record and my desire to support parties with more bold plans for change.

So if no one used their line to vote for the democratic candidate they would get dropped from the last ballet? I DID think it was odd that they were on the ballet this year with zero of their own unique candidates …
