      That they are a traitor to the nation and should be ashamed, but they are officially a Democrat because of their registration. That is why they get to vote in the primary, because registering makes it official no matter what the reason is.

      I am not registered for any party, and the fact that I end up always voting for candidates of one party does NOT make me an official member of that party.

        God damn, three hours later and they’re still insisting you’re a Democrat if you aren’t a registered Democrat and you aren’t if you are one.

        Nobody cares about whether the assassin was ‘officially a democrat’. They want to know who he supports: the democrats, or the republicans. In NC independents can participate in primaries btw and he likely did so intending to f with them.

        If someone accused you of being pro-Trump and you said “I’m registered independent” do you think they’d be like ‘oh, nm carry on then’?

          If they asked I would say ‘no’ instead of trying to dodge the question.

          You asked about something specific, whether someone was ‘officially’ something and I answered the question. You asked a question that is apparently different than the thing you want to argue about, which is who they (currently?) support.
