Right. I don't believe it either.
Btw, I have a very different view of how democracy works. I thought constituents were supposed to be able to elect people to represent them in government. You may not like the existence of the half of our nation that is conservative (I'm not crazy about that either), but our nation was founded on the belief that they have a right to exist and to be represented.
And if some choose to register Democrat because that's what people in their area do, oh well. Again their right.
What these people need is good conservative-progressive Democrats to vote for, not left-wing zealots swarming in to hijack their elections. Because that's what it would be.
