I don't think "independent" or "unaffiliated" work, and not for political reasons (it doesn't work for them, either) but for cultural reasons.
You have to stand for something.
You have to stand for something.
The "unaffiliated" time stamp gives you wiggle room with your colleagues, so they can accept it as a kind of soft protest against the Dems (sort of an abstention, but they will assume you'll vote the right way in the general elections). It's kind of a cop-out.
Trust me, it's perfectly okay to say, "I'm a Republican. I'm not four-square with everything every Republican says or does, but that's okay. I'm for most of their program and ideas and against almost everything the Democrats dish up: endless war, medical tyranny, political tyranny, religious tyranny, grand theft climate change, destruction of children in their school days, mostly forced genital mutilation, and their general cult of death from conception to assisted suicide.
For decades the Democrats have been the party of the self-styled smarties, the self-identified cool kids, but really it's been the party of hate: hate rural America, hate traditional America and values, and now Two Minutes Hate for Donald Trump each and every morning. And now Two Minutes Hate for anyone who doesn't hate enough.
To be a Democrat in good standing you've got to really be able to hate.
Hate is corrosive and that's all the Democrats have now, so I can't stay, not even for a minute. If that means we can't be friends, then I'm good with that."
I agree in that since I registered as an Independent, I can't vote in the D primaries, which present voters with the worst options imaginable, such as MAMDANI in NYC.
