In one fell swoop? We don’t have that choice, and even if we did, the numbers aren’t there. If it is a decision between a Republican and a centrist Democrat, I’ll take the centrist no contest. You have to vote for social democrats in the primaries first. In general elections, I just vote against Republicans.
The strategy you describe is concurrent, or as concurrent as it can be. If you’re a stickler for details it’s actually the reverse of the order of operations you laid out, since the primary comes before the general.
