Primary voters aren't necessarily representative of party voters in general, but most people in the US have very strong party identification. There are always some holdouts who will stay home or protest vote if their candidate doesn't win (PUMA being the most high profile example that a lot of people will probably point at), but the vast majority will vote for the person who takes the nomination rather than for the other team.

So is there a pattern of primary candidates who just squeaked in going on to do badly or marginally in the national election? I know I could probably get this answer through Google but I'd rather ask people who just know.

Gun to my head, would I vote for Zuck (which is basically what a Trump v Zuck election would be)? Yes. Would I vote for him in the primary? If the rest of the Dem candidates were the usual neoliberal spineless trash... yes. Would I canvas for Zuck? ...I'd have to do a few weeks of soul searching on that one, but I'd at least be willing to try and talk my family and friends into going out to the polls for him. I didn't like having to vote for Hillary in the 2016 General either, but I still loving turned out and voted for her. Yeah, I would absolutely elect Mark Zuckerberg President of the United States of America, if that's what it took to get Donald John Trump out of the Oval Office. I really would be that loving desperate, and I'd probably melt down when he lost to Trump's reelection with you guys then, too.

He could, at any moment, decide that deploying nuclear weapons would not be so bad. And even if he never does that, he is still supporting the most stupid, spiteful, and self-serving GOP policies there are. For me, this makes him an existential threat.

I'm not a member of Labour for example, but I work in the public sector, I'm in a union and I don't have a major head injury so I always vote that way even though where I live is fairy safely red, ie a city. I think it's safe to say most of us do, even if it's not our first choice. Especially now, with what we're up against. That said, in very safe races, I might occasionally consider voting for a third party. My city is solidly Democrat, with whoever their nomination is basically being a shoo-in for mayor. This can lead to fairly establishment candidates who may not be completely evil (even the woman who resigned after getting caught stealing gift cards from poor children did good things for the city here and there), but may be a bit out of touch or more focused on tourism dollars than on the people who actually live here Believe it or not, the Green candidate for mayor was actually solid this past year. He wasn't a Jill Stein level shithead, had a very solid platform, did a ton of grass roots stuff, and was charismatic as hell. I didn't think he had a chance of actually defeating the Dem (who I voted for in the Dem primary because she was up against the aforementioned resigned gift card thief, who'd decided to run again, because she was the better of those two. She's just kinda blah, and I had no strong opinion on her until she vetoed the city council's motion for a $15 min wage as one of her first acts as mayor once elected), but I cast my vote for him anyway just because he was the more leftist of the two, and there was never a chance of the Republican getting more than like, 5% of the vote at best. He may not have won, but he got a lot of people motivated, and they're still going strong. I'm hoping it moves the needle a bit leftward. The fact that he even got a percentage in the double digits is encouraging, and I really hope the Dems absorb him somehow

Just that somethingawful has way stronger opinions about tech ceos than most people and zuckerberg is largely a blank slate to most people that hasn't really made that many announcements of his opinions on many political topics or made all that many big appearances so most people don't have the same burning hate towards him, or even much of any thought about him at all

Zuck can't jump the line like Trump did. If he ran to replace Feinstein and served at least 1 term as a senator and had a good track record, then he'd have a shot. Like, no one is going to vote for a cipher with no proven track record. He can say whatever he wants, but unless he can point to votes, then it means nothing.
