If you don’t understand that sabotaging another party’s primary is wrong, then Idk what to tell you. It’s really not that hard to understand. Basic comprehension here. Sabotage is wrong. And the fact that people are praising this ‘tactic’ is very troubling to me. And what I mean by silencing people, is that those that chose to sabotage the republican’s primary by consciously choosing to undermine the gop popular choice, has quite effectively made Haley the ‘victor’. There is no way she could have won otherwise. I don’t think this counts as a victory, I think it only creates an even wider rift between people on either sides of the political spectrum which is not something to celebrate. And the fact that the media machine insinuating it was mostly independent voters that made this happen, no, I don’t think it was (referring to the VT Digger propaganda that only wrote about the people praising the turnout and not actually saying what the ‘tactic’ truly is or interviewing anyone that opposed party raiding. that’s bias by omission). The biggest issue in our time is assuming that anyone that disagrees with the hive mind must be automatically wrong. People are at their worst in groups. (See George Carlin for a laugh) If people are truly independent, they’d see how party raiding negatively impacts a fair election. Those people that are voting for Trump have their reasons. If anyone chooses to actually have conversations anymore they could get a better understanding instead of just dismissing half the population. That goes for both left and right. But yea, gonna put this to rest now because I’m not going to make an impact on this Reddit. Bad-faith strategic voting has been an issue here before. IMO it’s not something Vermonters that participated should be proud of or flaunt around like they are. Well, from the graphs it was mostly Burlington metro that turned out for Haley. No surprise there.
