I love my mother, and she is a very intelligent woman, but sometimes the :brainworms: really do go that far
in Bad Communist Country the people are forced to vote for the same party every election.
I'm really excited for when the dems nominate Christine Pelosi for her late mother's seat and she wins on name recognition alone
In a real political party, that'd probably be a requirement made by the party, not a legal requirement tho
Sort of a moot point in a secret ballot.
Like, if you're a sitting member of Congress and you vote against your party's nominee to leadership, that's a problem. And, I guess, if you're a sitting member of Party A who routinely votes in the Party B primary, that looks fucking weird.
But if your Joe Shitkicker, you're not really involved in the party operations. The party you caucus with in the primary is incidental to its operation. Your general election vote even more so.
The idea that someone somehow convinced citizens in the US that they have should have to fill out a registration form in order to vote is completely wild to me
The one time Americans love bureaucracy and paperwork - when it gatekeeps minorities
I'm pretty sure she was confusing the rules of closed primaries with all elections, but in her mind that was perfectly reasonable. She's a Marianne Williamson lib whose politics mostly focus on self help books and the democratic party line.
Looking under the hood of my car, trying to figure out how it all works, and an amateur car hobbyist who mostly just posts on car blogs nugs you on the shoulder to tell you that you're a fucking moron.
We know nothing about this woman beyond
A. She has a child B. She asked a dumb question once
It is EXTREMELY presumptuous to call someone "unintelligent" when that's all we know. Like any of us here haven't asked something stupid at one point in our lives?
why are you saying this after hearing 1 silly question, god damn people are hostile
How would they even find out if you did or not...? The ballot is secret.
