I don't know how normal it is to be registered in the US but I would assume the target were moderate voters, not party members
Leftism
Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!
Rules:
- Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
- Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
- Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
- No brocialism/sexism
- No ableism
- No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
- No racism
- No trolling
- No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
- No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
- Mods have final say
Posting Expectations:
- Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
- Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
- Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
- Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
- Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
- Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
- Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

In many states you have to be registered if you want to vote in the primary. I would imagine most active voters are registered.
Thanks for the context. Makes sense. Do you register each time anew? In that case I would assume people stick with what they registered for. But on the other side, people might register for voting a more moderate candidate and don't want Trump and vote Democrats. I guess that's what the post is about. Now I get it.
Once you're registered you stay that way unless you want to switch parties or you move.
After everything that's happened with trump, you guys elect him the 2nd time.
You guys suck.
They will never court the left, never.
meanwhile im already seeing "moderate" "pundits" saying the reason Harris lost is because she was too woke and Democrats need to move further right 🙃
The problem, the worlld is now confirmed as knowing already, is that Americans are, for want of a better word, scum.
How's that "Schumer Strategy" working out for ya?
The DNC knew it would fail. That was the plan. Perhaps not this spectacularly, but they knew it wouldn't work. They did their job. They defended the interests of Capital.
It's almost as though -maybe, just maybe- the people who are registered Republicans like the Republican Party.
For this groundbreaking insight, I'll take my $20k/month consulting fee from the DNC now.
America's far left is just normal shit.
"Hey how about everybody gets food and can see the doctor"
"How about suck my dick and be my slave"
"Whoa whoa you two, let's be civil. Especially you, first guy 😠"
Happy to say that I was in the 6% and 5%.
Maybe if they got a couple more celebrities to endorse Harris she would have won. Or maybe all the celebrities could have sung Imagine like what they did during COVID.
Maybe they could have been endorsed by colin powell and oliver north.
No, you ignorant fool... they needed more scorned establishment Republican figures to support her. Liz Cheney wasn't powerful enough, that much is clear now. The absolute genius of having our vehemently pro-choice candidate on stage accepting the endorsement of rabidly anti-abortion figures almost payed off. It's the voters who were wrong!
