We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Happy to say that I was in the 6% and 5%.

I don't know how normal it is to be registered in the US but I would assume the target were moderate voters, not party members

In many states you have to be registered if you want to vote in the primary. I would imagine most active voters are registered.

Thanks for the context. Makes sense. Do you register each time anew? In that case I would assume people stick with what they registered for. But on the other side, people might register for voting a more moderate candidate and don't want Trump and vote Democrats. I guess that's what the post is about. Now I get it.

Once you're registered you stay that way unless you want to switch parties or you move.

How does anyone know who voted for what?

Why did they even have to work so hard for your young left vote? You saw the alternative, and you knew the consequences to staying home. You will suffer it not their party. I thought you guys were the smart ones and would know to take the lesser of two evils, instead of standing to the side to let the worst one in. And again you will suffer, no matter how much you say "that's what Democrats get I hope they learn", while you burn.

Anyways I just don't get it guys. Sometimes in life you have to eat shit and like it. But instead you decided to cut off your nose to spite your face.
