Taking my oath in the next few days, after 10+ years as a Green Card holding Lawful Permanent Resident of the United States of America ... I LOVE this country.
Wondering though, if there is any value to register myself as a democrat to see what their approach is in my city, which is in a swing state? (FYI: I WILL vote every 2 years and WILL vote for either Trump or Republican as a 2nd option)
A friend is an ex-LEO and his wife is still registered as a dem, the rubbish she gets about their party is ridiculous (she votes RED), I feel like adding to their waste of time and resources is part of my patriotic duty to my new country.
Any thoughts?
I agree with you. We can use some more people on the inside. Buy a body camera.
Congrats! Figured I'd get in before the shills and bots do.
The precint captain strategy thats floating around here is good to check out. Emailing and calling both sides of the aisle is also a strategy. There are even a few sites where you can send an e-mail to all your reps in one go.
I'm sure others have some better ideas as well.
The Democrats are the party of the deranged and globalist lefties and the Republicans are the party of the backstabbers and RINO globalist lefties.
Good luck with that choice !
But congratulations on your imminent citizenship anyway.
Normally one should register to the political party that they feel reflects their own political views the closest. The benefit to this is that you get to participate in the primary election of the party you are registered to.
You are, of course, free to vote for anyone you choose to in the general elections.
The bottom line is that, at least today, you are free to register however you want. Take pride in that freedom and make sure you vote every chance you can.
Congratulations on becoming a U.S. citizens. It is people like you, who follow the proper channels to do so, that help to make America great. God bless.
Depends whether you’re behind enemy lines. If you’re in a Dem city that will never elect a Republican then yes, join the Democrat Party and fuck with them from the inside. But if you’re anywhere where a Republican has a chance then register as a Republican so you can influence the Republican Party.
It depends partially on what state you are in...you can register as "no party affiliation" and somtimes vote for either party...or some states...you wouldnt be able to vote in certain contests...ie dems dont allow an voter not registered as a dem to vote in primaries.. while republican party does...
basically..you can change your party whenever you want up until about 90 days before an election, so it doesnt matter so much right now what you register as.
