3. Made that decision decades ago...

at least for major national elections like pres and congresscritters. There have been a few local repubs I've voted for from time to time, but not many. Sadly, a lot of local elections have "non-partisan" elections where party isn't easy to discern.

12. "I have always been more moderate in my thinking, but now I know I'll be voting Democrat."

Well, bully for you.

If she thinks the Democratic party is radical, and she didn't vote for Democrats before, she probably voted to take her own rights away. Too bad that also meant the rights of every other person in the country with a uterus.

Thanks, Claudia! Glad you've shared this little journey of self discovery pwning.
