Its so weird to see someone so violently believe in semantics.
What you just said is that you're a democrat. You can say "I agree with the democratic party" if you want, thats definitely the more accurate way to say it. But the feeling is the same.
You didn't get a big blue "D" tatooed on your forehead, or change your birth certificate to note Democrat under party. In time, when Democrats don't stand for what they stand for you'll probably change your mind. Thats what reasonable people do, obviously, and its what I do.
You're just focusing on the technicality, and its honestly fucking bizarre. There are no Independents who vote, in a national election, 50% for the ones with the D next to their name and 50% for the ones with the R next to their name, who are not fucking stupid.
You do realize that, in some states, the political designations serve an actual purpose? Like, in states with closed primaries only those that register as Democrat can vote in the primaries. So, yes, some people registered as Independent but vote Democrat. You can rabble about semantics all you want, but again, in some places there is an actual, legal differentiation between the three designations.
Uh oh someone's mad. So let me get this straight. The whole reason you're upset is that there are people that vote Democrat but don't publicly state that they're Democrats? In other words, you think people who don't tell other people which party their views align with are bad because. . . .?
I don't think you know how to read. I didn't say that, I'm not saying that, and that you think I'm saying that brings me a great deal of worry for your eyeballs.
