      I think you misunderstand. The majority of politicians in both parties fully support MAGA and Israel, though the Democrats perform a lot of theater about not liking MAGA while they vote in favor of MAGA every chance they get. The point is, before I would even consider joining the Democratic party, the party would have to abandon MAGA and AIPAC as a part of their platform. They would have to kick people out of the party for voting with Trump or taking money from AIPAC. Then I might join them.

        We kick those people out, in the primaries. Congressional primaries get less than 20% attendance, most of whom are retirees. That’s why nothing changes.

            You don’t join anything by registering to vote. You gain access to their primaries. I’ve changed my registration to Republican to vote in their primary before. It’s not a blood oath. It’s a tick box you can change as often as you’d like.
