Dallas mayor switches parties to join GOP
(www.cnn.com)
Why are we not running as fake conservatives in every race? Conservative voters are profoundly unintelligent and are bound to occassionally vote for us.
We could make running as a republicant a trendy hobby. We could "take the challenge" to see who can can fuck the GOP the hardest.
Conservatives are already running as fake conservatives.
Honestly it's probably not happening because spending that much time with that moronic cult would be torture.
It only works the other way around because the money supports the right wing. Nobody’s gonna fund a secret lefty on the republican ticket.
There’s a standard playbook. Just say the same things as Don or Ron. Talk about woke pineapple slices or something and you’re in. Just commit. Like Chris Rock said, Republicans don’t let “sense” fuck up their argument.
Please tell me more about these woke pineapple slices.
When you the eat the pineapple, it also eats you.

How is this allowed?

Since it's allowed, why aren't Dems taking advantage of the old switcheroo and packing every race with temporary conservatives only for switching back once elected? That would be the funniest thing.
I mean if democracy is a joke may as well get some good out of playing it.
Dems don't play dirty... but should.
I mean if the other team plays dirty and you do the same, that's just called playing even at that point.

I think 2 is the only way to get Republican law makers to do anything about it.
I can guarentee you that if #2 happened, conservatives would be in absolute uproar

I'm the mayor of this town and there's too much crime. So I'm switching parties. That'll fix things.
In a state that has a Republican legislature and governor. So how do the Democrats get blamed for a town that has too much crime?
Know how you prevent that? Run actual progressives with progressive pedigrees.
poll-driven commitment of many Democrats
You mean the will of the people? You would subvert the will of the people for your own agenda?
Hmm... sounds like a tyrant to me.
I guess he'll fit right in with the Republicans
I think what he is trying to say is that democrats make promises to appear good at the polls and get elected and then do nothing about the promises or whatever.
It’s stupid as fuck. Especially since, as a Democrat, he made a poll driven commitment to be a Democrat to get elected and then did nothing about that promise.
I accidentally voted for one of these people in the last election. In a local race, only two candidates so I voted for the one with a D next to his name. After I mailed in my ballot I got curious and went to his website, he was full on pro-Trump MAGA. Not even hiding the fact that he was running as a D to get dumbasses like me to vote for him. He got me good. Touché. Won't be voting blind again. Stay vigilant!
That's kinda on you for not doing your research.

Democrats that donated to his campaign should sue him for fraud.
Unemployment declines under democratic leadership.
Fiscal conservatism isn’t going to house people.
And the size of governments never reduces under republican governments either. They're just hypocrits.
Maybe the Democratic party needs to vet their nominees better. Otherwise it's not going to be a political party anymore, just a name to exploit.
Stop complaining. This country has the best politicians money can buy!
I'm not saying its ok to assinate people. But I can understand why it would happen.
Meh. This really isn't what it looks like. I'd guess he's planning to run for a much higher office, specifically one where you do NOT get elected for such a position in Texas unless you have an R next to your name.
