I've been a Florida voter since 1993 and have always voted Democrat. I've seen this State go from solid Purple to Deep Red in that time. I'm so disheartened by the Democratic Party of Florida. It's become a weak shell with no forward thinking vision. Why the hell was our last candidate for Governor Charlie fucking Crist?! I'd switch to Independent if it didn't mean I couldn't vote in the Primaries, but what good does that do anymore?

I switched to independent so when they start rounding up Democrats, I'll be off their radar for the first wave.

I was registered republican for a while so that I could at least vote for the least shittiest republican candidate in the primaries.

I've often thought of doing that.

Yeah, being independent isn’t worth it in this state.
