C'mon schuylaar, wake up & smell the coffee & put the pipe down.
If Sanders, or shall I say when, loses Michigan he might as well just pack his bag and go back & grow tomatoes/herb in VT :)

Oh, I see what you are saying. I can request a Democratic ballot in the primary and a Republican one in the general.

That's ok then.

Depends on the state. Florida primary only allows for registered dem to vote dem..nit even 3rd party can vote only in the general.

It's a form of voter suppression by requiring registration well in advance of contest and then you're locked in to that.

Good God. Just accept the blame for your own ignorance. Have you ever once done that in your whole life?

When we get the ballot, how will we know who to vote for?

I just got done voting, basically you check a box when you sign in if you want to vote as a Democrat or a Republican. I am pretty sure anyone could just check the Democrat box and vote for Dear Leader.

I got the Democrat ballot and it had the entire list of candidates and a millage tax question. Took about 4 minutes in total including parking.

That's what happened in SC when the Pukes went in droves to the polls & voted for Sanders hoping he would be the nominee against Trump.

Republicans urging GOP voters to vote for Sanders in South Carolina primary: report

State Republican leaders in South Carolina are urging GOP voters to vote for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the state’s Feb. 29 Democratic primary.

And you know what?
Even with the Republican's support, with all their bull shit votes for Sanders, he still got his ass kicked by Biden.

Trump’s push for South Carolina Republicans to vote for Sanders went unheeded

There are limits to what Trump can convince his Republican supporters to do.

In that article, it says 5% of Republicans voted in the Democratic primary. It said the number is too small to break down into which candidate got those votes. In other words, that article does not back your assertion about "no Republican" votes went to Sanders. We can believe what we want. I don't think Republicans voted for Biden. Just saying, without those Republican voters, Bernie would have done even worse. At least they showed up to vote.

I said "little to no Republicans", but nice try to again misrepresent my statement. 5% is very little and we don't know how that 5% was divided, so it could certainly be nothing, aka "little to no".

I didn't misrepresent your statement. I didn't even refer to your statement. I don't know why I should. In the article you posted, it says this:

Despite Trump’s urging, an exit poll from the Washington Post showed just 5 percent of registered Republicans actually voted in the primary, a number too small for pollsters to give details on which Democratic candidate received the most votes from that group.

What you claimed in your post is a distortion:

The phrase, "little to no", is, I suppose up to debate. What can definitely be said is that 5% of Republicans voted in the Democratic Primary with Trump's admonition to vote for Sanders in the background. Given their nearly uniform loyalty to their maximum leader, I simply don't believe that a Republican would vote for Biden in light of what Trump said and instead they voted for Sanders according to their leader's instructions. You may believe what you want. You don't even need to explain yourself, as I just did.

As it is, Biden walloped Sanders in that primary. So, if you want to continue to argue about nothing important, go for it.

The guy quoted below disagrees with your statement that a republican wouldn't vote for Biden. Where does that leave us?

The difference is republicans voting for bernie will not be there in the general, but those voting for joe will be.

That's significant.
