Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Biden ran unopposed because he's already been crowned. There wasn't even an "undecided" on the ballot.
So lots of Dems voted in the Republican primary because that was the only one with a presidential choice.
If you a Dem in Indiana or other primary states only 4 months before the primary is over, you're one of the states that the DNC doesn't give a fuck about its voters or their stances.
That's why Indiana only goes Dem for candidates like Obama they believe will help them.
Biden ain't that.
Hey, you and the Trump campaign have something in common!
Do you have a reputable source you can cite to bolster your claim? It isn't that i don't trust you, i don't trust the Internet at large.
With a secret ballot there is no way to know who voted for who. when talking about your vote the ethical thing is to lie.
Indiana it's public record which ballot you take.
So someone could theoretically compare that to the party registration, but this misses all the people who are Independent but typically vote Dem.
In any case, it's not something I can just grab two days after the election and do myself for a social media comment.
Hate to link to Reddit but:
https://old.reddit.com/r/indianapolis/comments/1cnh9bf/dems_voting_rep_in_the_primary/
It's incredibly common, has been for decades.
But I said a couple things. And you weren't specific on what part you wanted a source for, so I just had to guess, and I got it wrong this is very inefficient
I appreciate the reply, but a reddit post doesn't qualify as a reputable source for anything. I'd be happy to read a news article or research paper if you have one.
I don't live in Indiana anymore but, I voted republican for the primaries because as a citizen I am concerned as to who will be on the 2 sides we currently have in November. I wanted to take my small stance in voting in that upcoming decision.
I think we should totally move to ranked choice and ditch the electoral college. This current, you don't get a say in half of the choice till the end, and then could be over-ruled with a rogue electorate, is absolute garbage in this day and age.
Lol.
