      Yes, one of those registered independent Democrats you hear oh so much about.

      You going to bat for Hannity’s conspiracy bullshit is very telling.

        You going to bat for Hannity’s conspiracy bullshit is very telling.

        As is your seeming inability to understand basic reasoning.

        I’m curious why you think he isn’t being labelled as Independent right off the bat by news agencies if registering Independent solidifies you as such? What do you say about people that wear MAGA hats but registered Democratic to F with DNC nominations?

        I’m not going to bat for Hannity. I’m saying we shouldn’t be so smug as to assume he’s wrong about this guy. More importantly, that undecideds will agree and not be turned off by an obvious bias towards a belief of Democratic purity. That is how you lose votes.

          “Why aren’t the media being fair?” Really?

          I’m not going to bat for Hannity. I’m saying we shouldn’t be so smug as to assume he’s wrong about this guy.

          i.e. going to bat for him. The assassin was not a registered Democrat. That is what makes you a Democrat. He is not one. You are wrong and Hannity is wrong.

            You forgot to answer this one.

              Also, I “forgot” to answer that one, because you asked someone else.

              What a bizarre thing to be dishonest about.

              If you’re registered as a Democrat, you’re a Democrat. That’s literally what makes you a member of the Democratic Party. So they’re Democrats that vote for Trump. They may not care for that and you may not care for that, but that’s literally how it works.

              Just like Dick Cheney is a Republican that is voting for Harris. Dick Cheney is not a Democrat even if you really, really want him to be… or is this just your failure of understanding basic U.S. civics?

                You understand that by registering Independent he is eligible to vote in both party primaries in NC right? Talk about not understanding basic US civics. The dude that disavowed Trump and wanted Haley to beat him, and supported Sanders, Gabbard, Biden, and now Harris, is clearly voting 3rd party.

                If you’re registered as a Democrat, you’re a Democrat.

                BEHOLD! What Squid thinks is a Democrat!
