For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

In 34 out of 50 states if you do NOT register, you can vote for any candidate in the primaries.
But you can still only request a ballot with one primary: you cannot select the best candidate for your party and the worst for the other.
In those states, the request for a particular ballot is, effectively, registering as a member of that party.
The following is all regarding primaries:
California, Alaska, and Louisiana have Ranked choice voting, in a way.
Alaska you can vote for ranked choice for presidency. (Top 4)
Louisiana, you vote for anyone, the ballots are not separated, so whoever wins 50% supposedly goes on (Top 4)
California is Top 2.
Notable mentions: Nebraska and Washington both allow top 2 voting as well regardless of party officialiation, but NOT for the presidential election yet.
If someone sees part of this wrong, let me know so I can correct it, but last I knew that's how different some of our states are.
