I’ve been independent most of my life. Voted for H- Ross Perot twice, just because. I forgot to vote in 2k. Voted for Bush because I liked his cabinet and we were stuck in a war and then he fires them so last time I did that. Obama in 2008 +2012, then Clinton 2016 + Biden 2020.
I changed to Democrat in 2018 ONLY BECAUSE in Florida I wanted to vote in the primaries and Florida’s a closed primary.
That was the one and only time I decided to get enthusiastic about a politician. It was Andrew Gillum. I liked him overall. I decided I could stomach the ” Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida ” which is a wing under the Florida Democratic party but usually spends more of its time complaining how Democrats are doing everything wrong, which is fine.
I don’t get too deep into it beyond that.
But I’d say my own politics are far more radical than the progressives. I just stay quiet much of the time unless something is important to me or I feel like yapping about.
