    I literally changed my voter registration because this election made me remember my address and party affiliation are public record in my state.

      Same. I’ll never register Dem again unless there’s a progressive primary candidate.

          You have to register which party you are going to vote?! Really?

          You must live in a civilized country.

          You can say no preference or independent. One purpose of party affiliation is to determine which primaries you get to vote in. So if you are a Democrat you can’t vote in a Republican primary. But of course you can switch any time.

          The entire system is designed to ensure that only the two establishment parties can win elections.
