Hey I have a question, I'm not an American so my knowledge of American civics is limited: Does a party approve every candidate who runs "for them", or can any random asshole put a R or D next to his name and that's it?
They don’t have to be approved per se, but every state has a branch of each party, and people have to register with said party in order to run.
Depends on the state, but usually any random asshole can run in a primary.
