You knew it was coming: Ivanka Trump blasts New York's registration rules

Posted by ty97 Apr 13 '16, 06:22

This part is a lie:

"New York has one of the most onerous rules in terms of registration and it required us to register a long time ago, almost close to a year ago," she added. "And, we didn't do that."

Trump announced in June. She had to October to switch from independent to Republican

*shrug* I don't care what someone who admits to not being political thinks about our voting system. - Krusty Apr 13, 06:27 19
- I think 3 months prior to the first vote anywhere being cast is a bit long of a wait...but the rules are the rules - Will Hunting Apr 13, 06:30 18

    - So that people that aren't actually behind the party platform jump on board and mess with the elections. - Krusty Apr 13, 06:43 4

        I am 100% behind it because it's not a general election. It's for the people that are behind the party platform to choose its representative. - Krusty Apr 13, 06:48 2

        I doubt it. I don't really think enough people will switch to have a real effect on the primary for president. - Krusty Apr 13, 06:54
    - I could see setting it January 1st as presumably that's prior to any votes being taken - Will Hunting Apr 13, 06:42
    - Cronyism? In NY politics? Surely you can't be serious... -- nm - znufrii Apr 13, 06:42
    - I'm on the same page as you on it being too early, but Krusty does offer a decent defense of it. - ty97 Apr 13, 06:41 8
      - Right. If you want to pick who represents a party then you should actually care about the party and its platform. If you're independent that's fine - Krusty Apr 13, 06:45

        I guess it depends on how one views the purpose of parties and what rights they should have - ty97 Apr 13, 06:46 5

        I've been wondering this question actually. - ty97 Apr 13, 06:51 1
        
        What does LV mean? -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 06:55
        
        LV? I wouldn't be surprised by that at all and I'm fine with it because if they truly cared about the Dem primary in NY - Krusty Apr 13, 06:50 1

  - New registrants in NY had up until March 25 to register. - ty97 Apr 13, 06:33
Someone should teach the billion-dollar princess what a close to a year means. - Will Hunting Apr 13, 06:27 6
- To your IM: I'm guessing they just didn't know the rules (kinda like how Trump's campaign didn't know how to work Colorado) - ty97 Apr 13, 06:29 5
  - There were things out there telling us about the deadline because it's what got my attention to get my gf to join a party. - Krusty Apr 13, 06:32 4
    - You're more observant, or got lucky! I don't recall seeing anything about it. -- (edited) - ty97 Apr 13, 06:34 3
      - Yup. I've been a Dem since I registered at 18. And your IM is the reason I gave to my gf to join the party. She's a liberal but didn't feel any need - Krusty Apr 13, 06:39 2
        
        The party certainly isn't perfect and I resisted identifying as any party for years - ty97 Apr 13, 06:49

How dare they have rules that are inconvenient to the princess -- nm - decline Apr 13, 06:24
