Tulsi Becomes an Independent

[ll74]

Where I live, I have to pull a ballot that’s party specific. But each primary I can pull a different one according to who is most important to back.

For primaries, certainly...for general election, they aren't party specific.

In Ohio, to vote in a primary, you must pick a party and that is reflected in your registration until you change it. But I could easily pull a Republican primary ticket in primary voting and then vote straight Democrat in the general.

So they don’t let you choose the day of the primary which ballot you want!?

I think you can do that if you're registered independent, but as soon as you vote, it changes your party in registration. That may have changed in the last few years. I didn't vote in this year's primary.

I voted in both of them (thank you, Ohio Republican Party). They always ask me right at the polling place. The state has a record of which party ballot I've requested in previous elections, but nothing about that carries over from year to year.

The last time I voted in a primary, my registration status switched from independent to democratic.

If the people of Hawaii supports her...why does it bother you what Party she calls herself? A politician should be true to their constituents...not a party.

First of all, she's out of office, so it's not clear the people of Hawai'i support her anymore.
Secondly, a politician can be true to her constituents without routinely bashing her own party and regurgitating the other side's propaganda.
Third, most voters are low-information voters, so it's entirely possible most voters in Hawai'i never even knew about some of her opinions before she ran for president.

My understanding was that she didn't run because she knew she didn't have enough support to get re-elected.

Jebuz, the hand wringing on Gabbard is ridiculous. Why do any of you feckless reprobates care what party she represents?

 

[KeithD]

Doubt many of us care as much as you do by your needing to post to it.

Well, mark, this is the Political board and she's in politics and switching sides to become a mouthpiece for the "other" team.
And if you were paying attention, you would have noticed that this thread has morphed away from the OP's topic.
Good post, tho. /s

Political news is a topic we discuss

Jebuz, the hand wringing on Mark_J is ridiculous. Why does anyone care what a feckless reprobate like Mark_J gets superior about?

Fun response take from Newsweek
Tulsi Gabbard's Dem Decision Fuels Speculation She's Trump's VP Choice

Gabbard is a Russian Republican. Full Stop.

When you have nothing, simply accuse of being Russian something or another.

I don't know. It seemed descriptive of her actual actions. What is your sensitivity to this characterization of her, based on what she actually does?

This entire thread is about her dumbfuckery. The Russian thing is just another problem for her. Fauxnüz has eagerly embraced the asset.

wasn't that whole litter-box thing an idea by not-stupid kids to see which idiots would actually believe and spread it when there was never any grain of truth to it?

I wouldn't doubt it. Rogan has been a joke so long now that it's hard to remember when he had awesome interviews with interesting people.

Your posting history suggests the word "Russian" is a bit of a trigger for you.
It was not my intent to make you hyperventilate, camerade.

 

[Dribble]

I'm not pretending anything. What you consider to be "working" is not the same thing as what I consider to be working.

Your nihilistic view is great....enjoy it.

Eat shit.

Millions of us are sick of people like you. You need us. You deny us...the worst that happens is Republicans gain power and destroy the country...speeding the process of states leaving along

Either participate or don't. I certainly don't give a shit. And I certainly don't need a nihilistic asshole who whines all the time for any reason.

Two thoughts about this.
1-The hatred she now gets from the left and all of them calling her a Republican shows the truth about those tolerant libs and how they have no desire to ever work with anyone not drinking their kool aid.

2- Is the best thing that could happen out of this is it setting a trend. Imagine a house or senate that had even 15% independents in it. Not Bernie I say I'm indy but vote dem every time, but people who will actually vote based on the idea not the party. It would mean parties couldn't sit back and say, no matter what I have these X votes because you won't have them and the result will be having to come up with laws that have more partisan benefit in order to get through

Like its supposed to be.

Bonus point. Back to the first. Dems "we love strong diverse females!" Except a strong diverse woman who has the never to think for herself. The second women, LGBT or any marginalized people learn to think for themselves you see just how full of shit they are. Pick cotton on our plantation or you're a Nazi.
