MODERATORS
it had its heyday, at least in my experience, during the 2020 Democratic primary, when the idea was that you'd vote for whichever Democrat was nominated, regardless of who you had supported in the primary.
I've heard it used since then, but usually in the context of state/local elections other than the President. in 2024 "no matter who" didn't make sense because there was no primary and it was obvious who the Democratic nominee would be (except when it wasn't, but that didn't involve an open primary with a clown car of candidates like 2020 had)
