(68,586 posts)I live in a state that has open primaries...and GOP types will screw with our primaries which really hurts at the state level. You don't want to join with Democrats...then stay out in the cold and live with the GOP policy...I hope you are over 55 because otherwise...no more medicare for you. Democrats are the only ones who can get progressive policy through...Drumpt will get what Ryan says he gets through...no more and no less. We have a two party system...and that is not a bad thing. If you look at multiple parties...the minority party often ends up running the show...thus millions have no voice...so as far as I am concerned if your independence leads you to vote GOP or loser third party then do so...but don't kid yourself as to what you are. You are not left.
