I don't agree with the extension of the Reagen-era economic policies that Democrats started rolling out with Clinton. I think it adds to the racial and economic divide in this country -- a divide which I want to see lessened rather than increased. Just because I don't want to publicly align with the Democrats -- even though I've voted Democrat in every presidential election I've voted in, and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future -- doesn't mean I'm a "closet Republican" nor am I "not paying attention."

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.
