plspls_pls_ stop calling each other fascists or astroturfers unless you have a thorough understanding of the uncommitted movement and what u.s. primaries are. there is so much blatant misunderstanding and misinfo going on it’s bad.

edit: if any loser dares call for an uncommitted vote in the general election? i will kick them in the balls (gender neutral) (in minecraft)

Only Democrats can vote in the US Democrat primary,

This is not true. There are multiple states that allow voting in the primary of a party to which you are not registered. You just can't vote in both primaries.

🤓🤓🤓 But in more seriousness, it is true for the majority - ok some states let independents vote in one party’s primary but they have to request it and it’s harder and I’m not gonna add that addendum to a long ass diatribe

About 24 states have some form of open primary. Most of them are entirely open. Some are independents/uncommited-only as you noted.

I received both parties ballots and I did not request it. We voted for that explicitly to be the case.
