Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

I don't know how normal it is to be registered in the US but I would assume the target were moderate voters, not party members

In many states you have to be registered if you want to vote in the primary. I would imagine most active voters are registered.

Thanks for the context. Makes sense. Do you register each time anew? In that case I would assume people stick with what they registered for. But on the other side, people might register for voting a more moderate candidate and don't want Trump and vote Democrats. I guess that's what the post is about. Now I get it.

Once you're registered you stay that way unless you want to switch parties or you move.
