Dan Rather: JUDGE - 'All who abetted, normalized, & rationalized his actions share responsibility'

54. This proud Independent is an underground Democrat

Who has always been an independent, for 40 years, since I registered at age 18. Pleased to meet you!

I joke that I am from a mixed marriage; Mom was a Democrat and immigrant while Dad was a republican and racist. They both voted in primaries and general elections, and took me with them. I know many independents who lean and vote for Democratic party candidates. As a child, prior to elections, mom would get a visit from the Democratic canvasser, and dad would get one from the repuglican. I considered joining the socialist party at 18, opted to remain independent.

I vote in primaries...but as an independent I have sometimes voted in the repug primary, to vote against a candidate. In 2016 I voted democratic in general election, but voted in the repug primary, against Trump, against Meadows, and against the authoritarian incumbent sheriff who had a repug challenger but no democratic challenger. That sheriff did lose the primary, which ensured his Challenger would be the new sheriff since he ran unopposed.

I may vote in the repug primary next year, to vote against frump, meadows and tilis, and screw with their numbers. I lean towards Warren, hope she will have enough support by then. That's still TBD.

And I WILL vote for any Democratic candidate for president. I always have!
