      That’s what I do.

      Not surprisingly, the Republicans are always the worst and the only local opposition that has a slim chance of winning are Dems so I end up voting a straight Dem ticket despite refusing to register for the party. If there was an independent with a chance of winning I would consider them, but haven’t seen any on the local positions.

      You still have to commit to an actual decision when the times come. Adjusting each cycle is what everyone should be doing, knowing that each person will likely stay where they’re at because why wouldn’t they?

      Yeah sure that works, unless one team is the Republican party.

      If you like being ineffective at driving change, then yes this is an option. Otherwise, you’ll have to work through one of the gate keepers.

        You do have to take the context of power structures around you into account, but you do not have to assimilate into tribalism to be an effective voter.

          Oh, absolutely true. Never call yourself a Democrat. Don’t join them, use them.
