I think that, after the events that transcended today in the House, there is no way I could find myself voting for a party that even symbolically supports such cruel and inhuman legislation (and I wish it were just symbolic). I'll send in my official registration to the Democratic party sometime later this month.

I'll rethink this if Republicans ever come back to their senses.

Yes, yes. Excellent.

I wouldn't hold your breath. I don't see any hints that things will substantially change within the GOP any time in the near future.

Did today's events give you a different PM score?

I just retook it since 2014. It's now:

E: -5.94
S: -6.09

Basically, E and S flipped, but nothing too big. I just think today's events just solidified my opinions of what the GOP is.

I'm still not sure why you ever were an Independent, tbh.

Currently I find calling my self either a republican or democrat is funny. I think it is better to look at each of the individual candidate and choose who is better.

DNC level. The state itself doesn't, yeah.

I've been open minded since I moved to the mainland, hoping that the Republican party wouldn't be as bad as it was painted to be in PR. After years of observation, I came to the conclusion that it's probably worse.

No offense, but based on your views you were basically a Democrat anyway. So is my boy RINO Tom.

You ought to add trigger warnings to posts like these. Tongue

Anyway, I already saw you as being a Democrat (for the most part), but I'm pretty sure you already explained why you wanted to stick with an Independent avatar beforehand.

Forgive my ignorance, but what does registering with the DNC do?  I've never heard of someone doing that.

You're in their database, receive updated information on events and electoral activities, participate in surveys, etc. It's nothing major, but it's the best that can be done in WI.

I like Orange even though I'm a Dem because it makes me look special and therefore boosts my self esteem.

Congrats!

I'm actually technically an "independent" but I identify as a Democrat. I'm fine with that setup personally, but I can see why others wouldn't be.

It'll take him time to figure out that the GOP really isn't the party of fiscal responsibility that it duped people like me and him into believing. The Charlie Bakers of the party really have no place in the party in any meaningful way. You'll never see one like him go to Washington.

We'd agree on that, you're just delusional to think Democrats offer a better alternative; they're worse.

If Charlie Baker were in the US Senate, he would have been the first to vote with the establishment and expand the government again. That is the person you hold up as an example of fiscal responsibility? If fiscal responsibility means corporate welfare, maybe.

Congrats, I guess. It's good that you can identify with the party, but yeah... I also always saw you as Democrat.

     Same here. I was confused at first what this thread was supposed to be announcing.

I'm surprised this didn't happen earlier, you already sounded like a Democrat anyways.
