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.

      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.

      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.
