God I love this thread. As a euro goon I make myself a cup of coffee, grab a cigarette and sit in the garden 30 minutes before I start work. I try to inhale the thousands of lols and pick a few fights with chuds on twitter courtesy of the amazing tweets that are linked. This insane president and his mush brain antics are well and truly a part of my routine now. God speed, tiny handed emperor, god speed. *cue the mother ship from Independence Day appearing above the White House and firing a focused beam of my balls*

Strong Sauce posted:for those worrying about GOP registration drives Also worth noting that "no party affiliation" increased more than either Democrats or Republicans--not sure who that helps, but Biden does have an edge among independents, at least nationwide. But also as I've said before, I think people should be careful about reading too much into Biden's edge in early voting, too, since I suspect Republicans are more likely to vote in person on election day (because Dear Leader said they shouldn't be afraid of a virus). Basically, keep voting as though it will be a very close election. Sir John Falstaff fucked around with this message at 08:01 on Oct 16, 2020 |

Yeah, this thread has given me more lols than any other on SA. I can still remember the day he tweeted "Scottish people love me!" As a Scot, reading the level of venom that my countrymen put forth brought a year to the eye. He's so fundamentally loathed here, and has been owned so hard over and over by basically everyone that he tries to litigate that it's becoming embarrassing now.

# of registrations definitely means something but it's not everything. My local federal riding had a guy sign up hundreds of new people in order to scam the party nomination process and reject a "patsy of ottawa" (an experienced candidate with local support) and I swear, based on records, at least half of them must've not bothered voting.

Is being a registered democrat, (or republican) like being a party member? Do you have to pay party dues/fees? Can you be a registered democrat and a member of the republican party at the same time? Coz that would be a good way top gently caress with polls. Register as a Rep. but vote Dem. so afterwards they wonder why their polling was so wrong. Sorry again for the simple/naive questions about the US party system. It just seems so weird and different to me.

Can you be a registered democrat and a member of the republican party at the same time? No. It only determines who you can vote for in Primary elections. You can only be registered as a member of one party. There are no dues/fees and in a general election, you may vote for whomever you like regardless of party affiliation.

It doesn't really have any direct effect on elections in a way because you're not required to pay any kind of dues, or vote for those party candidates either EFB

Switching your party registration isn't so difficult though. I temporarily changed mine to Democrat in order to vote for Bernie Sanders. Edit: In 2016

You have nothing to prove/say/do differently to "belong" to one party or another. It can affect your ability to participate in the primaries but in no way commits you in the general election. You can only be registered to one party at a time. You don't have to be registered with any party if you don't want to. You can direct donate to either, both, or any combination of parties up to the contribution limit.

He uses his Republican party registration to vote in primaries for the candidate he feels is the weakest locally. I don't get it, either. EDIT: I was registered as an Independent for a long time, and until a decade ago it meant I wasn't allowed to vote in either primary or some local elections.

If this were done in large numbers, it could be used to sabotage the opposite party.

I tried to edit a post to include that I used to be registered as an Independent and it locked me out of either primary in my state until about 10 years ago, and I wasn't allowed to vote in some locel elections either, but I dunno where that went, sorry.

The only single circumstance I can think of where that might've had an effect is, like... in the Alabama Senate race with Roy Moore. Where literally any single other Republican, even a random citizen, would've been more electable and they lost a race that should not have been losable.

He does it in Senate races where the non-incumbent has no hope of winning (against Snowball Inhofe, as it were) as some kind of 'protest vote'. I see the motive, but feel like he's throwing himself into a wall. He tried to get a chud to start a fight with us at Ihop tonight, and it almost worked, so he might be more politically savvy than I give him credit for.

AHH F/UGH posted:Pennsylvania is more important than Florida I think Florida is more important but harder to win. Florida is run by a GOP government that basically is heavily suppressing the vote. There are 5 tossup states and ME-2 [1 EC] is a tossup . Trump cannot lose any of these tossup states which includes Florida. Even if Trump wins PA/FL Biden will still eek out a victory given the other polling. But if he loses PA/FL then there is a likelihood of polling issues and then who knows which States that lean D are actual tossups. Best case scenario is if Trump loses Texas (longshot still) but if that happens... none of the toss-up states will matter. They can't gently caress up PA/WI/MI again though. If they lose those 3 States again... yikes.

Absolutely marveling at how dumb everything is.

Jesus Christ there is not one loving adult in charge.

Maggie Fletcher posted:Is that his actual voice? I've never heard him speak. He's as mush-mouthed as his dad. It sounds like he's speaking through a mouthful of saliva after not swallowing for several minutes. Does he have a speech impediment? If so, he and his repulsive family have no business teasing Mr. Biden for his stutter. Not that they do either way, but even less so if so. I've heard it explained as an affectation, like he's purposely trying to deepen his voice to sound more manly or whatever, but I've never heard him speak any other way so he might just sound like that
