My DINO card is on the way so I have some voice in choosing these candidates.
It Was Torture, but I did it

That’s one of the things I’m so looking forward to when I leave in four years: registering Republican!

One of the few call backs I've received from a delegate was C.T. Wilson back in 2018. I forget which bills we went over, he seemed agreeable to most things and stuck to his stance on one. Very respectable discussion.
But it seems the reason he called was because I put in the email that I was a registered Dem and he said "No one that is a Democrat would put that in an email..." Told him to check the rolls and how I did switch just to be able to vote in the primaries.
For a politician seemed a decent fellow, still a politician though...

Happens to the best/worst of us. Only way to have any kind of say beyond neighborhood level.

Correct. Only useful if you’re in a district without solid R representation (ie most of MD). In the general you vote however you want. I vote straight D against the incumbent in HoCo except for my councilman who’s R. Then I vote straight R in the general (can’t imagine there will ever be a D I’d vote FOR).
I love writing polite, but stern emails demanding my gun rights and then signing my name and -->Democrat. Bet it makes their head hurt.

So has this DINO idea ever worked? Has an incumbent lost in the primaries that wasn’t outed because of some scandal? Sounds nice in theory, but has it worked or is it just a feel good measure?
I’m not opposed to it, if it really helps.

Not sure the "movement" has ever ousted in incumbent. I'd like to think that when an incumbent Leftist sees a more centrist opponent begin to pickup more votes, it might make that Leftist start to look in their rear-view mirror and consider shifting their ideology.

To put it into perspective , DINO is the most effect possible strategy in Maryland .
For most of the state , the Dem Primary is THE Election . If you don't vote in it , you 90% don't effectively vote at all .
Even in areas that actually have GOP candidates , how often do they have Two viable candidates ?

You're new at this, aren't you? You think you have a voice... That's rich!
You get to choose among the pre-selected crooks the D Machine has decided to promote.

My track record is mixed. My vote for Jealous goes in the W column, offset though by my vote for Johnny 0.
