Non-partisan Elections

[BE Mike]

I never was a political animal and have a hard time trying to understand the motives of politicians. Can someone shed light on the "real" reasons to suggest that elections for local political offices be "non-partisan"? The reason that the current office holders give is it would be "less divisive" where we have a citizenry that is very divided. I am skeptical.

Panel recommends nonpartisan races for Louisville mayor, Metro Council

The recommendation was one of at least eight set to be considered at a meeting Thursday of the Louisville Metro Comprehensive Review Commission.

To hide the communists they really are…

So you can vote for Communist or Communist light?

Obviously anyone wanting to radically change current glorious leadership is an insurrectionist and enemy of the state. Purple

To hide the communists they really are…

Quite simply, this.

I have noticed in my local contests that the Communists (a.k.a. Democrats) are functionally hiding their party affiliation.

Neither flyers Nor their websites make clear their party affiliation. The only way to be sure is their donation pages link to ActBlue, the DNC's fund raising backend.

I'm trying to figure out how to expose them to my wider community as the communists they are.
