I’m doing the same thing. Going Independent and told the GOP to remove my name from their membership roll. If enough people did that, they would take notice.

Agree totally. Suicide voting is bit extreme for my taste, but I definitely want to send a message and have a clear conscience in terms of the groups to which I belong and am therefore associated with and labeled by. I have no intention of giving any money to a party that would nominate a liberal to represent it, although I still plan to vote in the general to support candidates that ARE conservative in congressional and local races - most of which will probably be Republicans of course (for now anyway).
I no longer want an "(R)" next to my name. As I said before, it's now an embarrassing designation. Once I'm an "(I)" I feel like I'll be able to more objectively look at the candidates in the general election, knowing that neither one is "mine", and then hold my nose and vote for one or the other without feeling any kind of pressure. No more "for the good of the party BS". Screw "the party" on principle, whether it's the Marxist Democrats or the Socialist Republicans. Come election time it'll be, let's see... will it be Satan (D) or Beelzebub (R) or Other.
