I'll never register Dem again unless there's a progressive primary candidate. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kornblumenratte@feddit.org 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) You have to register which party you are going to vote?! Really? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] enbyecho@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago You have to register which party you are going to vote?! Really? You must live in a civilized country. You can say no preference or independent. One purpose of party affiliation is to determine which primaries you get to vote in. So if you are a Democrat you can't vote in a Republican primary. But of course you can switch any time. The entire system is designed to ensure that only the two establishment parties can win elections. permalink fedilink source parent
