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."

I've been registered independent/non partisan for years. I don't consider it sandbagging as I'm not trying to deceive anybody. I have been liberal leaning and more recently voted democratic. This time around will be voting republican to support the president and the takedown of the deep state and corruption!

I'm still pissed about the Obama vs. McCain election. IF there was ever an election where there were no good choices at all, that was it. I still think Obama probably was the better man, and that really hurts to say that. Two traitors, but at least one was an obvious traitor.

I remember back then, that McCain was doing fairly well in his campaign at some point. Then suddenly he started behaving a little bit erratic in some of his speeches. From that point on, it went a bit downhill. It was clear to me that he was not the one chosen to win.

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!!!

Looking back I realize most of my negative feelings about Carter came from (((neocons.)))
Carter Probably less militant globalist then a bush.

I had always thought Carter was just a nice guy, but the older I get the more I see why he was such a failure. Should have stuck with peanut farming.

Carter is a very decent man. He has never been a Communist. He wasn't a great president, but he was an outsider, and he didn't have the clout Trump did to rein people in. He was not given a fair shake.
