NY State Dems don't want Independents to vote in party primary

https://nypost.com/2018/05/14/state-dems-dont-want-independents-to-vote-in-party-primary/


New York Democratic leaders say they want more people to vote — except they won’t allow anyone but registered Democrats to vote in party primaries.

The New York State Democratic Party plans on blocking a proposed resolution at its May 23-24 convention that would allow independent or “unaffiliated” voters to vote in this year’s Democratic primary for governor.


Now if only CA can get rid of their ridiculous open primaries which always ONLY help everybody but mainstream democrats.

Do we have a Gaza Strip and overall Israel/Palestinian map, conditions, etc expert here?

I think it would be interesting, to me at least, to know the exact situation on the ground and what about this prison like environment where these Palestinians live?

Did anyone else catch Richard Engel telling Joy I think it was, last night during Rachel's show, that Rump's Israel ambassador and rump speakers and Kushner etc do not understand the geography of this situation and the conditions?

Ya know what I will bet $10,000 cash on right now? That Obama's ambassador and people knew and understood these things in great detail.



edit

I see we have one response from someone who obviously has ZERO objectivity. I will patiently await an actual response.

Here is why we might be in real big trouble.

I chat on a youtube chat of a progressive talk show, I say progressive because sadly the host defines themself that way.

I say sadly because the host is too smart to do that, but has yet to figure out that anything other than Democrat or Democratic or Liberal is the problem.

Anyway on this show's youtube chat there is a chatter who non stop attacks the D party and the mainstream candidates of the party and I non stop support liberal causes and the party.

Guess which one of us got a stern warning from the moderator who is a big fan of the host, yep.

If it is common out there and "hip" STILL to attack the party, to support candidates who probably cant win OR worse to NOT support the Democratic candidate that is running in November because they are not "pure" enough, well, do I have to go on?

edit: I say VOTE for any democrat and the more likely to win Democrat! I know, I am nuts.

Levi Sanders: Bernie Sanders' son carries his father's passion to fight for the disenfranchised into

Levis Sanders: Bernie Sanders' son carries his father's passion to fight for the disenfranchised into bid for congress


And SLAMS Hillary and the Democratic party in the process

“The Democratic Party has done a very poor job of bolstering people’s confidence and self-esteem, and that has significant consequences when it comes to reaching out to low-income and working-class people,” he says.

“When Hillary Clinton used the word ‘deplorable’ that had a significant effect on so many people. They basically said ‘We understand that Donald Trump is not a nice guy, but he is one of us’. He said ‘Yes, I know I’m a billionaire, but I’m like your weird uncle. I’m not politically correct and I’m not judging you and that’s the key’.”

This WONT be a Happy Mothers day for the Mothers and children separated by our fascist

government.

A government we did NOT have to have if only NOSE HOLDING whiny assholes had not made sure everybody around them knew just how bad you know who was, even though she wasnt.



And once again, this has NOTHING to do with the primary, I heard that SHIT right up to election day and after!

Can we do a go fund me to fund body guards for Michael Avenatti?

I think he has entered the zone where putin and team, rump and so on, will see him as a real problem.

I wonder if we could start that? I guess I could.

The Clinton's via their foundation, the Clinton's via their service to the nation

both in the WH and Senate, have accomplished more than ANY body I can think of at the moment.

Their foundation alone does more for people in need in ONE day than any 100 armchair knowitalls will do combined in their lifetimes.

Who do I complain to about ABUSING the GD forum?

I thought there was a way to talk to forum moderators about abuses?
