I forgot about that but happy to see it merged. Who's the mod to suggest that to?

I changed my voter registration to Independent. Reasons:

1) I find myself unable to agree with either party on what I would describe as at least half their platform.

2) I am fiscally conservative and think the Dem party is out of touch with the need to reform spending. Not that the GOP has been a whole lot better, but at least they have a willingness to address it.

3) I am socially liberal and think the GOP is extremely out of touch with reality on this. On the flip side, seems to me the Dem party apparatus is largely using those society might view as outcast or lesser, to virtue signal and its insincere.

4) I have not voted FOR a Presidential candidate in many cycles.

5) I have not voted FOR a gubernatorial candidate in I can't remember how long.

6) Party politics is exacting too great a toll on the country. Too much identity politics, too much us vs. them. Not enough us and we.

7) I grew up in a Dem household but even in their later years my parents were getting fed up with the same things I was.

8) Florida is a closed primary state and so this takes me out of voting in the primaries. But that has not mattered in a long time.


So that's it. The electronic paperwork is in. Don't get me wrong, I can't stand Trump, that has not changed. But I can't abide Harris much, either.

Good luck to all on your own decisions, and follow your conscience, be it middle, left, extreme left, right, or extreme right.

How does this actually affect the party of the POTUS candidate you cast your vote for in November?

155 million people voted for the two main candidates in the election but very few of partisans here admit to voting for their side....

I should have been clearer. This does not change anything for my voting this November as to POTUS as, regardless of party affiliation, Trump in my view is completely unacceptable. Others disagree. My point is that whether you intend to vote for him, or against him, it should not be because of an R or a D next to your name on a card.

Its more symbolic than anything as to my disdain for party politics now at every level.

So close. But you admit in your last sentence it’s a meaningless gesture.

If you had conviction you wouldn’t vote for either one. Conversely to you I view Harris as an even more dangerous candidate than puddinhead. One might consider to rationalize to hold my nose and vote Trump. But in the end they are both still dog **** candidates and I don’t want vote for either one still
