So this non-serving ass clown wants OTHER people to sign up for a draft to protect his “unparalleled freedoms and opportunities” while he sits back and enjoys them. Says our freedoms are the envy of the world. My brother, have you ever even left the country? Because nothing says “unparalleled freedom” like going bankrupt from a hospital visit, watching your kids do active shooter drills, and needing a draft to staff a military that already has the biggest budget on the planet. But sure, the whole world is just green with envy. Absolutely seething. They’re over there with their universal healthcare and paid parental leave just WISHING they could be us.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    Aren’t votes supposed to be secret? Like, you won’t know who voted for what party?

      The actual votes are secret, but the fact that you voted is not. Party affiliation is not secret either; it is public record whether you participated in a party’s primary election.

        Not American so I don’t quite get how it works. Do you need to be affiliated with a party to vote? What does “…participated in a party’s primary election…” mean?
