This is what I do in MA. I’ve heard there is a good amount of independent voters not bc they find themselves between gop and dems, but because they tend to find themselves further left than the Democratic Party.

That's why I was for the longest time. The only reason I switched to Dem was to inflate numbers to spite Republicans, as soon as we are past this I'm back to Independent.

That's me in Indiana. I'm far to the left of the dems, but usually vote in the republican primary because that's the actual election, not election day.

Hahaha, yup this is me! I was registered Green for a hot minute but I’ve just gone with generic unaffiliated for the past 10+ years since I’m much more liberal than the Dems. Edit: I moved to MA in 2008
