politics @lemmy.world•Texas candidate files as Republican after raising Democrat funds
18·1 month agoThe ‘democratic party [DNC]’ and the ‘republican party [RNC]’ are two private companies that have hijacked the electoral system. They (sometimes, but not always) hold ‘primary’ elections to choose which candidate they will run in the actual election. If you are registered with the party, then you can vote in the primary elections to choose their candidate. If, for instance, I were to register republican (me, a dirty commie) then I would vote for the primary candidate that I was most certain would lose in the actual election. Anyone can vote in the real election, so i could stay registered as republican and vote for their worst candidate in the primary, then I could go to the real election and waste my vote on a third-party socialist candidate. (I put a lot of irony in my description here, but I hope its still clear why someone would register for the opposite party). [EDIT: I have just learned that each state has a different setup for who is allowed to vote in primaries, so this scenario is not universal. Thanks to Baron Von J comment below]

Two unions are mentioned: ‘International Union of Painters & Allied Trades’ and ‘National Nurses United’. I understand that the term ‘uinon’ in the states has been heavily associated with construction , and there tends to be a conservative lean in construction, but not all unions are like that. For instance, I’m in the UAW branch for scientific researchers. Just writing this to put out there that unions can, and should, be in every industry and that the political leanings of unions is case by case.
