The best way to handle this is to let the Dems get their way on this, but then be sued later-on over it. I see major 1st and 14th Amendment problems for this measure. One learns to pick their fights. OH, and in politics, timing is the best instrument of power.
But I do have to admit, this resolution reminds me of the loyalty oaths that Republicans require of their candidates at times as well as those who wish to attend a GOP political rally.
( and Woodstock adds: “Actually, the SDDP commits ’emotional distress’ upon me often due to their inability to win elections, run effective GOTVs, and keep their finances in check”…. 🙂 )
It is no wonder registered independents outnumber Democrats in South Dakota when SDDP fell to 3rd place. Registering as an Independent is beginning to look more attractive.
Try NPA (no political affiliation). Then you can vote for a candidate from any political party who’s less criminally deceptive. The Trump Republican cult is controlling, Democrats ruin one another, and Independents are unrecognized. With a choice of party or an unaffiliated candidate, NPA could give back individual sentiment and just might some day disrupt autocratic Republican control. Vote for Pedro!

I hope they ran this by a lawyer. A lot of projection going on here.
Calling the occasional “Code Red” for the good order of the group.

Maybe registering as a Democrat is another scene of nostalgic stagnation.

“Causing emotional distress to others.”
Do these people expect to compete in electoral battles … ‘cuz there gonna’ be some emotional distress that comes with that territory.
