I'm a registered Democrat, but I think I'm done with supporting the Democrat party. I can't do it anymore. And no I'm not going to no damn Republican party neither.
Americans: Have you abandoned or are seriously considering abandoning your political party you currently support?
I been gave up on Dems. It was nothing but family pressure to vote with them. I don't know if the fam even realizes who/what theyre voting for. I've been trying to tell them about Biden forever and they just started regretting their decision when they saw the old remarks he made… when i literally had mentioned this stuff the day before the big vote. But they ignored me cause they were so set on not voting for a Rep. I wouldn't vote for Trump either despite having a lot of conservative views. I’ll continue voting for one of the 3rd party candidates that i feel have the closest mix of liberal/conservative beliefs thats suits mine. But i honestly don't wanna vote at all. I just get tired of that bullshit letter fussing at me for not voting 🤣 They always talking about “Why didn't you vote? if you dont vote, you dont count” but like does the vote even count when the electoral college exists… does the vote count when you rep a 3rd party instead of the main two parties… yea, uh huh, thought so
tribalism sucks doesn't it? Going through the same thing here with the opposite side if you know what i mean. i'm only interested in voting for people with actual loyalty to this nation and it's people. Can you point them out? I know of like 5 out of all branches of gov combined and both parties! It's pathetic!
I did I don't like Donald Trump whatsoever but when I heard about what the Democrats have been doing to get Trump removed from office in all the other bullshit whatever happened to all the guns they got caught with the Democrats that they were going to sell to the Taliban so when we left there they would have weapons Democrats are you evil and they shouldn't even be in office black lives matter they started that crap all lives matter that's the most stupidest name they could have came up with a much better name but if one thing did I have read is true did none of those people should be in officer even have any part of running our country they have sold out 2 China Japan over and over and over again so they could make their bankroll to get reelected if any of the things that I have read is true that they did with two Trump they should all be put in jail and I hate Trump but right is right and wrong is wrong and I don't want somebody running my country who starts bulshit who's is not a part of the solution they're part of the problem I was so pissed off I almost voted for Trump I hate him like I said he is no good either how to 580 something elected offices in America and not one of them will dare to stand up and be great they're all a part of the good old boy system
Welcome to the club. I was never much of one for party loyalty, but most of those I voted for were Democrats, simply because their views better aligned with mine. Or did, up until... well, I'm not sure when, exactly. It wasn't an instantaneous thing. But when Obama, voted in largely on promises to end Dubya's atrocities, started exceeding them, and people cheered it on because he had a (D) after his name, I starting dropping away. By the time of the Kavanaugh debacle, I was out completely. I've no delusions that the Republicans are, overall, better, but the current Democratic Party has simply lost its mind.
This isn't the first time there's been a major realignment of these particular two parties- but the last one took us a World War to get out of. Here's hoping that doesn't happen again.
@Lillie_xo. This occurs when you register to vote. On the form you fill out, they ask you to state your party affiliation. So when you submit the form, you are therefore registered as a member of that party. This allows you to vote in the party's internal elections (primaries).
@lillie_xo That's a great question! I think it is, in most cases (if not all). I think if you don't select a party, it just means that you won't be able to vote in their primaries.
However, the rules are somewhat complicated For example, in California, if you choose "No Party Preference" as your party registration, then you can't vote in the Republican primary. (The Republican Party chose to have their primaries be closed, meaning that you can only vote in them if you are a registered Republican. I think this is because Republicans are a small minority in California, so they didn't want their elections to be manipulated by outside groups.) You CAN, however, vote in the Democratic primary, but there are extra hoops that you have to jump through. You have to specifically request a Democratic primary ballot.
I worked for Dukakis. Voted Clinton in 92 but abandoned him in 96 when Gergen convinced him to start acting like a republican. In 2000 I did not like Gore but worked for him because I knew after Panama and Iraq that the Bushes were Authoritarian Nazis. Didn’t vote in 2004. Fell for the Obama con in 08. Watched black people’s wealth get incinerated. Didn't vote in 12. Votes Sanders in the primary in 16 but sat out the general. Same in 2020. Biden is just as disgusting to me as Trump. The fact that Sanders got screwed twice, especially after the corrupt Bush selection in 2000 sealed the deal for me.
I’m out now. If it’s Biden v Trump or Harris v Trump in 2024, I’ll probably go deep sea diving or something
I never registered to vote and do not plan on doing so. Both the Democrats and Republicans are too dirty for me to support. I would vote independent. Put due to the sheer amount of dirty money, influence and groupthink in politics a independent campaign is doomed from the start.
I have been an independent voter most of my life, I lean more towards republican, conservative. But now I am disillusioned by both parties. I voted for Trump the first time, never again. I'm not sure at this time, if I will vote or not in the next presidential election.
Anyway, I was a registered Republican. And I was done as soon as Trump won the nomination. I will never belong to another political party again in life.
im a nationalist. i feel as though we have succesfully taken over the republican party. i don't need to leave it. i conquered the republican party
the new republican party stands for: * improving wages for the working class by banning immigration * removing American military forces from foreign wars * tariffs to protect america if needed * hardline policies against china and working in greater cooperation with russia * anti far left social "justice" and critical neo marxist theories * lowering the cost of healthcare by forcing hospitals to show prices online which increases competition * lowering the cost of college by cutting funding to student loans which forces colleges to compete to lower prices * gun rights * and breaking up and regulating big tech
I've abandoned the party system entirely. It's a scam. Votes don't actually get counted by the way, not that it matters, every president does the same thing.
Americans should have torched their capital long ago, the parties don't represent what the people need but at the same time, the people do not know what they need, they instead know what they want.
I have thought for the longest time that American politics have been broken. They need to have legitimate viable alternatives to these two monolithic behemoths!
Nope. I will only go back to the Democrat party if they go back to being the traditional Democrat party. Currently I'm done with supporting U. S. politics. Both parties just aren't good and too unbalanced.
