Article created 1 day ago, new enough, long enough (14,000s bytes), hook short and interesting, QPQ done (on my DYK :), no image used. Main hook preferred due to ALT1 beingWP:SYNTH a bit (US presidential electionsde jure has more than two candidates) Regards,Jeromi Mikhael(marhata)07:37, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Jeromi Mikhael: could you review ALT2? Thanks,Yoninah (talk)17:17, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have read the above message. I will reply when I have a moment. Regards,Jeromi Mikhael(marhata)00:14, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply] We need a review of ALT2, which seems the least complex in terms of wording. Pingingevrik andKingsif for help here.Yoninah (talk)20:45, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply] Sourced and in article. The "went for" wording is probably clear enough, but any improvements on this by prep/queue builders would be appreciated.Kingsif (talk)12:04, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I came by to promote ALT2 but I wonder if it could be made clearer that the Sanders voters voted for him in the primaries and for Trump in the general election? Otherwise it seems logical to change the termBernie Sanders votersto
Bernie Sanders supportersto avoid the "voters...voted" run-on.
REviewer needed for ALT2a. feminist(talk) | Americans, unite04:25, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]ALT2b: ... that an estimated 12% of those who voted forBernie Sanders in the2016 presidential primariesvoted for Donald Trump in thegeneral election?Kingsif (talk)07:05, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]ALT 2A is more preferable. Restoring tick.Regards,Jeromi Mikhael(marhata)15:10, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply] It's unclear to me why ALT2a is more preferable, aswent forisn't really encyclopedic. AsJeromi Mikhael says he has retired from Wikipedia, we need another opinion here.evrik orMaile, are you available?Yoninah (talk)21:37, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
went for" is encyclopedic language. I guess I'm looking for an approval tick for ALT2b so I can promote it, as I did not write the original hook suggestion.Yoninah (talk)22:06, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Given the number of Sanders voters who switched to Trump in the general election is unremarkable compared to previous elections, (eg, 15 percent of Clinton primary voters in 2008 voted for McCain in the general), why is this something that would require its own page when the pertinent details could easily be incorporated into the pages for the 2016 and 2020 election pages?209.122.210.129 (talk)06:09, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This seems to be targeting Sanders->Trump defectors because mainstream democrats particularly dislike Trump, but it’s not important enough to warrant its own article and should be merged with the general articles about the elections.
Points:
People switch their votes. People get mad. People make both rational and irrational decisions when deciding who to vote for. That’s just how elections work.Andythechef (talk)02:03, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
