political strategy

[Spongebob]

I don't post here much but got to thinking about something and thought it worth popping in to see what kind of reaction I'd get. 

I'm politically center left which means I tend feel forced to vote democrat in our screwed up binary election system. lesser of two evils so to speak. 

but given the gerrymandering and the fact that the republicans have a growing MAGA base, means we could find ourselves with them in the governing majority with speaker Marjory Taylor Greene, a scary thought if ever there was one.  

but what if democrats in solid red districts in places with closed primaries switched parties to register as republican? I wonder if them forming an alliance with moderate GOP voters would reduce the power of the maga wing? if a district is heavily red anyway at least it would be a Liz Cheney or Mitt Romney instead of a crazy moonbat.

the system we have ain't going anywhere any time soon so may as well adapt strategies to take this into account. 

I recently decided to register as a republican for this very reason. (I'm in a very red state, in a very red district where democrats have zero chance. the republican primary is the only election that actually matters here) Bare in mind that in the general election, the party you are registered with doesn't matter, so you aren't forced to vote republican in the general election just because that's who you're registered with. but it does matter in giving you access in primary elections, at least in places with closed primaries. 

what do you think?

That would require a lot of planning, coordination and agreement.  Sadly, Democrats don't do very well with that.
