If you want to participate in the various primaries and sow discord amongst the 'Rats, perhaps the best way to do it is not to vote for Bernie and Butthead, but rather to register as a Democrat (if required) and write in Donald Trump. Get all your friends to do it, get all the Trump Democrats to do it, spread the word on social media.
If Donald Trump can get more votes in the Dem primary than some of the actual Dem candidates, even in just a state or two, the Dems will totally lose it. They'll be so busy freaking out that it will throw their party into complete turmoil and the chaos will be delectable.
Have at it. I am a registered Republican in California and voted for Donald J. Trump in the primary.
The result would probably be nothing more than steering votes away from Sanders.
I voted for Bernie...but looks like Plugs won.
After seeing the numbers Biden is getting in SC, Bloomberg might be the best subject of Operation Chaos efforts.
Not enough people would write in Trump in a Demonrat primary to make a difference. If you want to vote for Trump, vote in the Republican primary.
I think the object of an operation chaos is to deceive the party about the actual level of support their candidate has, not just make them mad. It is intended to cause over-confidence in the candidate himself (or herself) and thus set the party up for a big November surprise.
No. I WANT a battle between Trump and Sanders. This will be cathartic for the republic. Two non uni-party nationalists battling it out. Love it!!!!!
I will feel the Bern on Tuesday.
Wrong.
Marianne Williamson is still on the ballot in my state. I’ll cast my ballot for her in the Dem primary since my state allows a crossover vote.
“No. I WANT a battle between Trump and Sanders. This will be cathartic for the republic. “
^^^ THIS ^^^
totally agree with you ... I wanted that matchup in 2016, but maybe it’s better that it happens now ... maybe Hildebeast served a good purpose after all ...
Well, that was a convincing argument. Thank you for your cogent, well thought out and thoroughly explained response.
SC might be a one-off for Biden. We’ll see.
Overconfidence, or perhaps division and pandemonium.
I did consider that making them mad might backfire, but so might promoting Sanders. As likely is that it further, perhaps fatally, fractures the ‘Rat party by intensifying the infighting over who is best to face Trump.
What this does is increase the chance of moving some candidates below 15%
I believe that, historically-speaking, many candidates who win SC win with the highest percentage of the vote compared to other state wins, at least while the race is still competitive. I’m sure candidates get the higher percentages later when they are the only candidate left standing.
NC, VA, TN, and Arkansas do not have the 30% black population that SC does. Theirs is closer to 20. Alabama has 30%.
I live in Kalifornia and was just doing a search on how to best F up the primary election. Surprise no search engine help after many iterations of search key words.
May register “No party” for primaries.
Then I guess re-register back to vote for Trump in main election?
Looking for group think on what may be most effective.
In the mean time trying to keep the gun out of my mouth (kidding)
I don’t think you have to reregister to vote for a particular candidate in the general.
Nah, if not for operation chaos bernie might not have gotten over 15% to take a few ddelegates away from creepy Joe. See the results by county on NYT. on tuesday - - Feel the Bern!
