I was speaking with someone who had an interaction with the local constabulary.....(fwiw, he was the victim)
Small talk while filling out paperwork came to the riots out west went like this.

victim: Good thing we havent had any riots here.
Cop: yea. Keeping the population from rising up & stopping them would be keeping us real busy.

Read that again. Maybe twice.

That uprising, IMHO, is right around the corner.

November 3, 2020

Whose side are members of this forum on?

Kicking the hornet's nest is not my intention.

I just thought it was an interesting reply.

I'm going to quote myself, I don't know if that is proper English/grammar.

The uprising: just this past week the NYC police department advised their officers they would be at full force on 3 November because of the possibility of "unrest" resulting from the election.

November 3, 2020: IS just around the corner.

Whose side are members of this forum on? Well, there are only two political parties, Democrats & Republicans.

It would be ludicrous to think that every member of the NJ forum is a Republican, I suspect that quite a few are Democrats even though they would likely not fess up to it. Even some that criticize the state's gun laws.
I posted an article recently stating the large increase in numbers of first time gun buyers throughout the country as well as in NJ. What could possibly be the reason for such an increase, if not fear of tumult?

For the first time since I pledged/swore allegiance to the United States of America and it's Constitution, I am more concerned about the violent possibilities of a Presidential election than I am of Mischief Night.

WTF? How did we get here?

I hope this clarifies what I previously wrote as well as where I thought the post was going.

No harm. No foul.

Trump! and not even close.

I agree brother, lets keep our powder dry.

I actually have NO political party affiliation.
I can thank Murry Sabrin for that.

So, does that mean you can not vote in the Primaries?

I'm a registered Democrat!

(Somehow that happened automatically when I voted for Bernie in the primaries in '16 to help stir the "he was ROBBED!" hornets nest. Maybe that (D) registration will prove useful and they won't toss my ballot as soon as it arrives .)

No.

'No"?

No, you in fact can vote in primaries
or
"No", you are not allowed to vote in primaries?

Clarify.

Only people registered with the political party conducting primary elections can vote in primaries.  if one is unaffiliated, they acnnot vote in primaries, unless they choose to declare a party prior to casting their vote. it's not exactly rocket science.

You are absolutely correct.

But the OP failed to clarify with his responce.

Can you decipher the OP's "No" reply?

Remember the dude who said, "It depends on what the meaning of the word  'is' is."

Lol, sorry, I dont get much time anymore.

I vaguely remember voting in some of the primaries, but I cant say with 100% certainty.
Make no mistake, I vote (at least since Sabrin) 100% republican only because I seldom see anything like a Constitutional libertarian on the ticket.

Vote Bernie!  Last primary, this primary, all future primaries!

Yes.
No.
Be right back......
