I’ve always been a Democrat, up until now.
This week my new voter registration card arrived in the mail, making it official that I’ve changed my party affiliation to Independent.
Now, I’m still going to vote for Democrats. If I volunteer or donate money to a candidate, he or she is going to be a Democrat. The only technical difference is I can’t vote in the primaries, which I will kind of miss because it’s nice to have a say in who your party’s nominee is in the general election. But my one vote won’t make a difference, anyway.
Over the years I’ve thought that maybe someday I’d switch my registration to Independent. I admit, it’s more a symbolic and personal move than anything else.
