re: #103 A hollow voice says, Covfefe.
What do you suggest they do instead?
I don’t suggest they do anything I have no problem with someone joining the party just to run. We have a 2 party system largely perpetuated by rules put in place by those 2 parties so if someone wants to acknowledge reality and “use” a party for their run, it is up to the voters to decide how they feel about that.
But if the party really wanted to discourage it they could put a rule in place saying you can only run as Democrat if you have been a registered democrat for a certain amount of time, 6 months … a year.
