I just read this. Being registered as a Democrat, Republican, Independent, etc. doesn’t amount to a hill of beans. All of my family were registered as Democrats, big Love That Union bit. Yellow dog Democrats. When I reached the age to vote, 21 back then, I didn’t know a thing about politics so I registered as a Democrat. My first vote was for a Democrat who didn’t win. I didn’t vote in primaries, I wasn’t aware of the “platforms” espoused to by each party.
Four years later I was a bit more savvy to the workings of each party. Still a registered Democrat I voted Republican. I continued to not vote in primaries. Ignorant me! By the next four years I changed my party affiliation and voted a straight Republican ballot.
”When Crooks was 17 he made a $15 donation to ActBlue, a political action committee that raises money for left-leaning and Democratic politicians, according to a 2021 Federal Election Commission filing. The donation was earmarked for the Progressive Turnout Project, a national group that rallies Democrats to vote. The groups did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.”
