It is something we can do NOW , since there is no voting or elections until 2 more years.
Let's make this a national movement
Changed mine in 2010. Never changing it back.
Rus, we should do this in all of NY State.
There is NO REASON to be registerd as (R) in NY.
The NY GOP decides everything for us, even picking the worst cnadidates and telling us “here’s who we are running this year” AND I think they are just in cahoots with the NY dem party anyway.
Elections, and by extension party registration, are not going to change the direction of this country.
We do not have representative government any more.
Registering Independent in Pennsylvania entitles you to vote only for those primary offices which do not run candidates with a party affiliation of any kind. Essentially nothing.
Not all States register with parties.
When you register as an independent in Ohio, you can only vote on the issues in the primaries, and not the candidates! Such a maneuver limits my choices, it does not expand them.
Changed mine in 2010. Never will I align with a political party again.
Way ahead of you, sport. Changed mine to non-affiliated two years ago after being a registered Republican for thirty-eight years. I was tired of being associated with self-destructive losers.
You have other races in 2015. Some include governors, State legislators
and various cities have elections in the upcoming off year. Thus independent
registration may impact some voters.
POLITICAL PARTY AFFILIATION
Democrat
Republican
Libertarian
Unaffiliated
Other
If you indicate a political party that is not currently qualified, or you do not indicate a choice, you will be listed as “Unaffiliated.”
These are my options. Am I to assume Unaffiliated is Independent?
changed mine in 2008
Been an indy since the late 1990s. I have never voted for a ‘rat in all of those years but I don’t want to be associated with the “Republican Party” either (in NC, voter reg is public info). Too many RINOs, crony-capitalists and country-clubbers for me ...yet I still vote for them.
hate to tell you but that will have NO effect what so ever
What really needs to happen is for all of us to burn up the phone, email, and snail mail to those who think that compromise is the order of the day. We can push them to do the right thing but WE have to act
No.
I’ve never been registered as an “R” and certainly never as a “D.”
The United States is organized into a two party political system and has been ever since the political party first appeared on the scene. The Federalists and the Whigs are no longer with us, their remnants having merged with the new Republican Party. Third parties have gone no where in our system and Independents are no party at all, the two Independents in the U.S. Senate are socialists who caucus with the Democrats.
If you want to form a new party, fine. But, it has do be done in a way that kills off one of the two dominant parties, that’s how it works in this country and your anger at the current state of affairs is not going to change that dynamic.
This morning, I'm watching Faux News
some jackwad Republican Congersperson
describes this Constitutional Republic,a Democracy
All I can draw from his words are that
there is no Republican Party
Pragmatically speaking... if you live in a dem state... switch your registration to dem. That way you have a say in who they put forth in the general, and can vote the crazier ones out. If you’re living in a repub state... the only way you can attempt getting rid of Rino’s is by voting them out during the primary.... unless your state has open voting. Then go for it... switch to indy.
