plspls_pls_ stop calling each other fascists or astroturfers unless you have a thorough understanding of the uncommitted movement and what u.s. primaries are. there is so much blatant misunderstanding and misinfo going on it’s bad.
edit: if any loser dares call for an uncommitted vote in the general election? i will kick them in the balls (gender neutral) (in minecraft)
Fine for people to voted uncommitted but jot sure why we don't see more people voting in the republican primary to throw trump off balance.
Because they genuinely love him. He's their god emperor.
Because I refuse to register as a Republican for any reason.
Assuming I'm understanding correctly, only a few states allow people to vote in a primary for a party that they're not registered as. Honestly, I'm not sure why any states still allow that, because I wouldn't want any registered Republicans voting in the Democratic primary any more than the other way around.
its not exactly as easy as it sounds, as if youre in a different party (e.g no party preference) you have to make a follow up request for another ballot of another party. the ballot doesnt get mailed in with the initial ballot. its effectively block anyone wanting the easy way to do it, over the mail at the least.
His mind is capable of speaking up to a third grade level. The people in favor of Trump understand him clearly.
You see that on occasion. My dad was registered Republican for many years in Florida just to vote in the primary for the less batshit option, and you have to be registered for a party to vote in their primary in Florida. In Minnesota, where I currently live, it's an open-ish primary where I could have theoretically chosen to vote in the Republican primary but you have to sign something saying you generally agree with that party's platform - and I can't honestly say I agree at all with the Republicans, so it wouldn't have been legal for me to vote in the Republican primary.
They ain't gonna check though. So you can jist lie.
For one, I read last time that some places requie you to be a registered republican to vote in the primaries.
The democratic party in my state puts money and campaign assistance behind smaller local races (congressional, state legislature, and small local races) based on primary numbers. My county has about 0.7x dem primary voters vs. our rep primary voters. As we're finally turning blue enough that we might win a race here and there, we're getting a lot more assistance from the larger dem strongholds in the state. My congressional rep is doing more events in my county instead of focusing on the bigger cities in their district. It's all a snowball effect. More engagement by dems in the primaries means more focus on campaigns in my area means bigger dem voter turnout in my area, and the cycle builds upon itself. If I vote republican in the primaries to be a spoiler, the dem party just sees my county shifting further right. Plus, my primary vote actually helps decide on my dem candidates in my region. It's a whole lot more than just one office.
Because that shit doesn't work. It got trump elected in the first place
