Sounds about right for leftist “ethics”.


From the party that tried to overthrow a free and fair election because Papa Doc's fragile ego couldn't handle it. Please, spare us the lecture on ethics - you lost that moral high ground at least six years ago.

What would OP think of a mass movement of republicans, coordinated on social media, to change their affiliation and flood in and vote in the democrat primaries, to try to elect a dem who had no appeal to actual dem voters?

I’m guessing that would be different. That would be wrong!

There is nothing unethical about voting across party lines. One should not be locked in by the party system. You should be allowed to vote for whoever you like.

Primaries should be open. Shouldn't matter if you are Republican or Democrat when voting in a primary. However, not all states allow this.

Great idea.
So the republicans end up with universally popular moderate candidates
And the democrats ( because a large portion of the base can’t participate in the primary) end up with an unelectable further left candidate.
What a great idea for republicans: get the democrats to do all the work for them, and end up winning.
Sounds about right.

Sorry nice try but we remember the unified Republican campaign against the fair results of the last election. What a flimsy attempt to spread propaganda lol.

Joe Walsh says it here



and 35% or whatever have bought into it. The key - how do you deprogram what Stephanie Grisham has called "the crazies"?

Would you sign an affidavit that swore under penalty of perjury that you would vote for the republican nominee, if they were the same candidate you voted for in the primary, in the general election ?


In other words, if you changed parties to vote for a Mitt Romney in the primary, and he won, would you still vote for Romney in the general election against whoever the democrat nominee is?

And if you didn’t, why not? And would you accept being convicted of perjury if you didn’t?


No one is bound by party affiliation to vote for that party's candidate. WTF are you talking about?

This is America. Party affiliation is not legally binding. There’s no blood oath. There’s no minimum commitment, whatsoever. You can change your mind at any time. There’s nothing wrong with voting your conscience or voting according to your priorities. Anything legal goes. Voters are free to make their choices accordingly.

Not in states where they are a clear minority though.. There are several. There is no way they can rally their troops for a direct win in Alabama, Utah, SD, ND,... but they have enough votes to sabotage Republican primaries.

No. You don't have to go that far. Republicans are confident of winning in Utah. All Romney needs help with is making sure he's on the ticket. The general election would be an open fight. If he loses, well, anyone would have lost anyways.. A democrat can still participate in this 'scheme" without compromising his basic values (i.e. having to elect a Republican in the general election).

They don’t want to get rid of Trump. He is them. They are him. Treasonous, traitorous people who hate America.
