I am a political junkie, I follow politics and have no problem voicing my opinion. I do my due diligence on the issues and then look at which candidate aligns closest to my beliefs and ideology. My views may change from time to time, depending on what I have learned, experienced, and have for needs. I consider my self wizen, and I also have an understanding of cause and effect, and follow history. With this, I have become astute to the political climate.
I am also a believer that the party system is antiquated and needs to be done away with, or that more parties need to join the mix. I am not a sheeple and usually do not the herd.
With the current boondoggle that is our upcoming election, I have had no choice but to move my affiliation from independent to a recognized political party. Not in the necessity to get a certain candidate elected, but more in desperation to keep other candidates from gaining the nomination.
I have always had liberal and centrist leanings, but have my conservatives stances, too. Because of that, I have thought of myself as a free thinker without need of a party platform. I have been a registered voter since I was 18, and after 34 years of voting in all major elections, and most of the local ones, I have chosen a political party, although after the primary I may switch back to being an independent. I enjoy my free thinking ways.
Get out the vote.
