(146,317 posts)Apparently, you have to be a registered Democrat to vote in the Primary, but you have to be an Independent to get Bernie on the ballot in November and the Independent party appears to be in danger of being taken off the list of major parties. So if I get this right, you have to register right away as a Democrat, vote in the Primary and then reregister as an Independent again by August to keep the IPO large enough to qualify for a line on the November ballot. Here's what this reminds me of:
You put your left foot in.
You put your left foot out.
You put your left foot in.
And shake it all about.
You do the hokey-pokey.
Then you turn your self around.
That's what it all about.
Man, I haven't done the Hokey-Pokey since I was a little kid. Sounds like fun!

(3,428 posts)Prez in 1992. His was the most successful third party run in history. How many electoral college votes did he get? ZERO! This is what third party or write-ins face in the general election.
Anyone who thinks that a Bernie independent or write-in run can be successful
is way beyond delusional.

(14,524 posts)You think people don't understand how the system works?
Or perhaps you don't quite grasp the depth of the utter dissatisfaction of many Americans at the shitty fucking candidates BOTH major parties are shoving down our throats?
Some have decided that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
Nominate the status quo establishment corporate crap candidate at your own peril.
You'll likely be insuring the next POTUS will be President Clowncar.
