No. I do not associate with either party, but vote strictly D because I’m not fucking insane. 20 years ago I could have considered voting for an exceptional R, but fuck all that. I think I’ve always been centrist, nowadays center left, but everything has shifted so far right that I couldn’t possibly associate with the republican traitor filth.

I voted Bernie in the 2020 primary.

I don't mean to offend. But I see you as a Democrat because the values you hold most-important land you in one party over another. In your case, 100% of the time. It doesn't mean that you have allegiance to the party or that your views match the party 100%.

Some people are single issue voters who ONLY care about 1 issue and identify politically from that. In the most extreme, a lot of religious folks literally don't care how evil their candidate is as long as they oppose abortion.

BTW, I voted for Bernie in the 2016 and 2020 primaries.

I take no offense. I just do not ally myself with the party of Biden, who supports Israeli tyranny. I’m Jewish, BTW.
