I sat there biting my tongue, imagining blood running down my face and shirt from biting so hard, but I kept my cool.But now I'm home and can speak my mind freely so, excuse me, but I really need to say what I wanted to say to those two dudes;
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING!!!
I think they lasted about a year....probably long enough to wait out their lease, then they closed. It's an antique store now.hippiemom = goodness0 -

“The 49 Senators who voted ‘No’ on Kavanaugh represent 181.8 million Americans,” he continued. “The 51 Senators who voted ‘Yes’ represent 143.2 million.”

mickeyrat said:josevolution said:Had to register for either Rep or Dem to be eligible to vote in November here in NY ...You do not need to enroll in a political party to vote in general elections. However, registering as a member of a political party allows you to vote in that party’s primary elections, to help decide who will be that party’s candidates for the general election.

When Nixon ran for president, I registered Republican so I could vote against him in the primaries. I never thought Trump had a chance or I would have done that in 2016.

Why should someone not in the party get to vote who is that party's representative?
Everyone gets to vote in the final election.0 -

Why should someone who is not affiliated with any group have a say who their nominee is?
You can still vote, no one is saying if you aren't part of a party you can't vote. But why should a democrat help decide who the republicans put forward as a nominee?
Most people who do just vote for the worse candidate just to make their look better anyway.0 -
I think you should be registered to a party to vote in that primary. Perhaps in days past there was a gentlecarbonbasedlifeform's agreement that you would not interfere with a party you don't plan on voting for, but those days are long gone.Be Excellent To Each OtherParty On, Dudes!0

If that's so bad, then why is it ok to donate money to a party then run against that party at a later date? Certainly big money has more impact than a single vote?
Trump gave tons of money to the dems and Clintons when he believed it could help him out when they were in power. Then he switched to GOP when he realized he could con them to vote for him by attacking Obama's citizenship
Seems to me if I am an independent and want to cast a single vote in either of the primaries, that would be far less damaging to our country0 -

Those who vote in the primaries in another party usually have no intent on voting for that person again. It is to sabotage the other party's nominee, so they put forth a less qualified one.
And that is the purpose of such voting laws, to prevent that. So that registered repubs don;t go vote Bernie Sanders in believe they have a better chance beating him, they should be allowed to vote on who they think is best, not who the other party thinks is worse.
Why shouldn't the dems and repubs have their own say in who they nominate?Post edited by mace1229 on0 -

I really like having the option as an Independent. Especially in a Presidential primary - by the time Massachusetts' was held in 2016 several candidates had dropped out. I took the D ballot but probably would have taken the R if it was a couple months earlier.

Its like all the senior class voting for the ugly girl for prom nominee for the jr class, so their senior girl can easily win in the final vote.0
