First off, who said anything about just primaries? I’ve been deadass told that if I leave the line for president blank, it’s the same as voting for Trump, which is literally this argument (that the moral imperative in voting is to minimize the damage of another candidate, not to say who best represents your political beliefs).
But secondly, all the people in the party who pushed for Democrats not to run against Biden were saying exactly that, but taking it even a step further, by saying that we shouldn’t even have the choice to vote for other candidates in the primaries. So no, not a bad faith interpretation at all.
