Oh, sorry, I assumed you were talking about presidential stuff due to the context of the meme.
Yeah, sure. They also ratfuck leftists in the other ones. The party is incapable of change.
A primary election is how the two options are selected. By having the general be a choice between two parties it reduces noise from splitting the vote. The primary election is how the candidates from each party are chosen.
Each state and party runs their own, so I guess it depends. In Washington State we made the primary election run the same as the general: there’s a list of candidates with party affiliations, and the two with the most votes progress to the general in November.
There’s 50 states, and they don’t all do it the same way. Each state has 2 senators, 1-52 representatives, etc. Then there’s national elections where a small pool of candidates is voted on by the entire country, but which names appear on which ballots and how depends on the county you’re voting in.
No matter what choices or actions are made your next king will be either a Democrat or a republican. You never had a choice, you will never have a choice, for as long as you accept this one.
I’d like to politely point out here that there uhh usually isn’t just 2 options. That’s what primaries are
I’d like to rudely point out that the last three primaries were either rigged or not held at all.
So you believe that non presidential elections don’t exist? And that midterms don’t?

No, no, they are right. Democrats changed from “pro”-LGBTQ+ to anti-LGBTQ+ as soon as they saw trans as a detriment to their election.
lmao, good point
What are “primaries” and how do they supposedly change the options?

Are they rigged in any way?

So you have 102 candidates, 2 from each state?

Damn, that’s a lot of layers of obfuscation.
No, you were just very confused and it’s a lot of assumptions to rethink.
Each county runs their own elections. It’s not obfuscated, it’s federated.
