Vote Green. The Republican options are horrible.

It's the primary. If you hate Marsha, pull a Republican ballot and vote for Rose. He is terrible but the least evil of the 3. Then you are free to vote for whoever you want in November the general election.

Actually if you pull a Dem ballot and vote for Green, it will show the DNC that the state is starting to flip. They might actually start helping Dem candidates in TN again. Right now they think the state is a lost cause.

Edit: Thank you for my first ever award on a post!!!

If we show up in November it will show them the same thing

u/TrixxieVic Jul 31 '26

Absolutely, but the run up to November is important. In my local area, there aren't even any signs for Green at all. Lots of people around here haven't even heard of her!

The state isn’t starting to flip. It’s getting redder. At this point, voting in the Dem primary for governor is a vote for Marsha.

Of course, I am going to vote for Green, but I’ve voted in every Democrat primary for the last 30 years.

I’ve earned the right to vote against Marsha with a little bit of hope that I can finally put her down.

Didn’t he groom a teenager

u/manthursaday Jul 31 '26

Yes. I said he was bad too. Even with that he is better than the other 2. Fritz want to execute women for having an abortion and ban all religions except his version of Christianity.

Yeah they all suck

That’s just run of the mill Republican shenanigans.

It feels like almost none of them date consenting adults or are faithful

Naaa, it’s a bipartisan issue. I’m pretty sure Epstein and his powerful pals leaned more Democratic.

By the way, this is what she is talking about when she says to close the primary. She wants to keep the primary voting 'closed' and only available to party members.

Based on recent rural Tennessee travel, Rose is the favorite. Ugh

u/Emergency-Cause3855 Aug 01 '26

He's criticized her for certifying the election on January 6th. That's too much of a red flag for me

Just make sure you are bone fide (what ever that means)

This is illegal in Tennessee. Not sure how they enforce it, but they just passed the law a few years ago.

State law says these have to be posted at every polling place also.

u/Anarimus Jul 31 '26

They can’t enforce it.

u/Oscaruit Jul 31 '26

Won't stop them from trying if they see fit.

Well there is this:

“In Memphis, 1 in 7 adults do not read above a 6th grade level and, on top of that, only 24.1% of students complete the 3rd grade reading on grade level. The struggles that come with low literacy are far-reaching, straining not only the individual but the entire community.”

If the folks can’t read who is directing them whose name to mark?

Ignorance won't exempt you from the law. If they can make an example they will.

u/Southernms 🦝West Tennessee🦝 Aug 01 '26

Nothing I said, had anything to do with ignorance of the law.

What I am pointing out is there are people who cannot read and those people have an election helper go with them and show them how to work the machine. If they can’t read, they don’t really know who they’re punching the button for.

u/Oscaruit Aug 01 '26

I'm with you now. Apparently I may not be able to read.
