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

          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.
