My state allows unenrolled status and you do not need to declare a party in general elections. The only time you do is during primaries but that is only for ballot selection, you don't need to change your status to either party then unenroll later. I like this system as it keeps politicians off-balance. None should ever think they have your vote due to your party status.
So I am unenrolled/independent. The number of times I've voted for democrats is in the distant past and those guys would have been purged out by now. Not progressive enough by the new party standards. I don't answer polls and keep my political leanings off the books. Good luck capturing me in any poll extrapolation.

It used to be that if one identified more with their party and less with their country they should not be trusted. Current libtards exemplify this. When it devolved into the Uni-Party at warp speed during W, party no longer mattered to me but getting out of view did. Keep the bastards guessing, always. From Thomas Jefferson: "When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."

When I first registered to vote when I was 18, I never gave an affiliation to any party, as I thought I would vote for the best candidate regardless of party. I'm sorry to say I have never found a Democrat candidate I could in good conscience vote for in 50yrs. I guess I am a closet Republican after all!. MAGA!!!

Depends on where you live, in many states you can't vote in primaries if you aren't registered to that party.
A faction of Hardcore Democrats have always registered Republican to sabotage our primaries. My theory is that they did this with Trump beleiving they could easily beat him.
2010 was first year I voted. Straight R. Never thought I'd do that but Democrats were just principle concern trolling about deficits, outsourcing, and military adventurism issues I agreed with during Reagan and both bushes. One year of Obama showed me their true colors that blue collar dems are as powerless as they are extinct. Clinton sucked but at least he wasn't a social justice berserker

I was registered as Repub for most of my adult life (I'm in my early sixties). Prior to Trump's candidacy announcement I registered as Libertarian. I was fed up with the repubs and the dimms; could see the corruption since 1992 and was never going to vote for either party. So when I voted for Trump in 2016 I voted as Libertarian and I have early voted in my state (all repubs got my vote) for the 2018 mid-terms. By the way, I met a former dimm standing outside the location where I was voting. He was handing out voting guides for all the repub candidates. He had been a lifelong dimm and was older than me by ten years; he converted to repub after Trump's 2016 victory. Hard-core Trump supporter now. Major awake. Bless his heart.

I was a registered independent for a long time. Switched to Republican so I could have a say on MAGA candidates at primary time. Didn't see a big reason to switch back. This year it's all about electorally exterminating the anti-american democrats. VOTE RED.

The Democrats haven't fielded a decent candidate in a hundred years, don't think they will start now.
