Welp, I'll make sure to get myself in front of a camera and proudly state that as a registered Republican, I gladly choose to vote straight Democratic ticket because of the unAmerican, unPatriotic, rather "commie pinko" intimidation tactics of the GOP.
Let's go REAL old school on the political shit-flinging and see how under that gross pigs skin we can get.
Oh wow you’re going to show them when they dump your ballots somewhere and your principled vote is irrelevant!
With a R by my name?
Ain't gonna happen easily.
Real old school is voting with your brain instead of down party lines?
NGL, that's kinda why I registered Republican. At our local city level, there were some really decent Republican candidates, so to make sure they got on the ballots in the primaries, I chose that.. but at the state and federal, I generally just vote Democratic. Best to try and maintain a balance of candidates so you don't pitch too far one way or the other. It also helps mitigate the damage done by the sheer number of Libertarians that fuck so many policy results up. Our state's infested with those morons.
LOL at thinking your vote will get counted.
Oh, It'll get counted. If not, I just don't file taxes at the end of the year!
