Feel like I'm gonna be posting this a lot today. Pennsylvania uses a closed party primary voting system. If you're a liberal voting in the primaries, it made the most sense to register Republican in Pennsylvania to vote for someone like Nikki Haley if you despise Trump. Don't want to say this is what happened, just that we shouldn't jump to false flag conspiracy conclusions right now.
I remember canvassing for Bernie back in 2016 and I knocked on a few doors of people who said “oh sorry, I switched to Republican to try to block Trump”. This is completely anecdotal evidence but it does happen. It’s rare though.
Edit: did a touch of cyber stalking… dad is a registered libertarian, mom is a democrat
Yeah, just one of those stupid games we have to play until we get with the times and implement a ranked choice voting system...
He was registered back in 2021. Not sure this has much bearing on the 2024 primaries. He could have been a right leaning person who didn't like Trump. Those people exist. Basically, most libertarians.
can confirm; am a small government fiscal conservative who thinks gays are people.
Hey you. I like you.
This is important to know, but at the same time, the majority of registered members in both parties in Pennsylvania voted for the front-runner, and given his youth (20), the primary was his first election involving presidential candidates.
We need to wait until the facts about him come out. Very little is currently known beyond the party registration and the YouTube gun channel.
This is the right answer. It is entirely possible and feasible to register as a party you don't agree with for strategic reasons such as voting in primaries for important state offices etc. Millions of people do this across various states.
And just because he was registered as Republican, doesn't mean he was necessarily a Trump supporter. After all, those Lincoln Project guys had to come from somewhere.
He appears to be more of a libertarian.
Sauce?
He was wearing a t-shirt of a far-right militia group and owned an AR rifle. Does that sound like a Democrat?
Demolition Ranch doesn't really mention their politics. And there are plenty of Democrats that like guns.
LMFAO! Somehow every word in that phrase is wrong.
I vote straight D, and among a shitload of other guns, I have an AR-15. Now what?
Source?
Last I heard it was a completely apolitical YouTube channel merch
