  Sounds like it’s as easy as declaring a party. Are there some strange initiation rituals you need to go through to declare? Sacrifice a goat or something?

    What if I don’t want to declare a party and remain independent?

      Then you can watch as things don’t change because of your stubborn pride.

      You can declare a party to vote in an election and remain philosophically independent, that’s always been allowed.

        This right here is why people don’t vote in the primaries and instead of saying, “huh, you’re right, you shouldn’t have to register with a party” you’re doubling down on your horrid stance.

      Well I suppose you could always whine about it online instead?

      It costs you nothing to register as a Dem so you can vote against these fuckers in the primaries, except maybe some worthless sense of idealogical purity.

        I have 0 desire to be mercilessly spammed by the Dems or Repubs because I registered with their party.

        Plus no one but me should know / needs to know my party affiliation. In today’s day and age of wanting more privacy, this is part of it. I don’t want to be on the wrong side of history because I was registered with a party.
