Honest question, please dont yell at me, is there any point in voting in my primary?>
@NiveusLepus Sure. It'll give you the moral high ground to bitch about the candidate you didn't vote for if/when they're in office! 😆 I'm mostly kidding. I vote at every opportunity that I'm given. I don't follow politics (esp local) as closely as I should, but voting the ballot for every election is a prod for me to do the bare minimum and read up a bit on who will hold the offices and where they say they stand on issues.
@Ironworker229 All good points, but this is specifically the primary. So its just whos going to be on the ballot, but we already know whos going to be on the ballot.
@Ironworker229 I think what irks me is that it wants me to declare myself a democrat or a republican, and to be honest, I'm neither.
I identify as a mountain hare, personally. ^_^
@Ironworker229 @NiveusLepus as a British Cosonaut, I am a floating voter, and have done tick box exercises about what is important to me, so the way i vote changes some times I vote Labour, other times lib dem, occasionally green party and a few times I've Spoilt my voting slip as a protest.
I've never voted Tory.
@Mauve_matelot It seems like all we can do here to even get off the couch and choose 1 out of 2, with pretty clear lines between them, especially lately. @NiveusLepus
@NiveusLepus @Ironworker229 That tick box doesn't mean you identify as Dem or Rep. It just says which primary you chose to vote in.
@NiveusLepus Oh yeah. I totes get that. I'm in CA. Biden will win the primary here. I'd still like to convey my support by upping the numbers. I think more votes means easier fundraising for the not-fascist, so I'm happy to do my part.
