are YOU a registered Dem?

I am curious how many registered dems we have here on the democratic underground as opposed to independents, greens, libertarians, etc etc

the only thing worse than the Democratic Party are the re:puke:s

Registered Dem here, though.

I am, and have been since I cast my first vote (we used stone tablets and a chisel back then!).

:P

...but we were stronger, back in the day, so even though we had to stike ten times to make that X, we were able to verify our ballots before we turned them in!!

But, I have voted Dem 100% since I turned 18.

indie

ahead in the count. :) Go figure, eh?

I also wonder what the average age is here on the DU

and 40-somethings reign there.

But it was hardly a scientific poll so who knows?

I forgot to mention that when I posted...

Toeing the party-line is for robots. I'll be voting Green for senator in '06 since my allegedly liberal (D) senator voted to back the war.

In Arkansas, this is done by voting in the primary. One can switch parties simply by asking for the other party's ballot at the primary. I would think that those who don't vote in primaries here would be termed independents or third party people (third parties here don't hold primaries).

I was told it was Big Two or no voting in the primaries. How exactly is that fair? And my, could that be why you never manage to get anywhere with any but one of the two pre-approved parties?

This "you have free choice--between these two choices and nothing else" bears no resemblance to my understanding of either a republic OR a democracy.

My sympathies lie with Green for the most part.

edit: was told, meaning, by the lady at the DMV when I first registered to vote. And to begin with when I told her I wanted "anarchist" she told me you could ONLY register Rep or Dem. I had to say "So why does that field you're in have SUCH a long drop-down menu?"

She registered me independent. I changed it for the 2004 presidential installation.

edit again, lol: anarchist, was because I firmly hated the entire government and I'm beginning to think I had it right the first time.

Executive Board Member on County Central Committee

otherwise I would be.

I wish they would quit sending me surveys addressed to MISTER Q. My first name can also be a boy's name. Nothing annoys me more than getting mail addressed to Mr. (especially all those free return address labels that are then garbage or I cross it off). I fix it and point it out when I return the survey but to no avail.

A suburban chicago tradition in my family. We only vote once in each election, but in the primary we vote for the guy our guy can beat.

since I was able to vote for Jimmy Carter.

"I'm indy, independent"

:)

Voted in every election, worked on many campaigns.

How do you "register"?

at least thats how it is in most states!

thanks for calling my question dumb right off the bat though!

glad to have you on the DU!

Calling MY question dumb.. Sorry if I worded that wrong.
I have always voted Dem, but have never been asked my leaning when registering.

everytime I have registered to vote there is a box to check for which party or independent etc etc...but this isn't the case in every state.

--which I didn't know until I posted this!

Looking at my Voter Identification Card right now. No provision for declaration of party. I would like to go on record as a Democrat.

I don't buy into the "all republicans are evil and scum" line

Admittedly in these times it is hard to find good republicans, but Hagel is one I think.

Most of the time I would vote for the Democrat, but if the republican seemed intelligent and a better candidate I would vote for them.

It's not required in Ohio.

even though I would consider myself more green or liberal progressive

I would write in any socialist that I thought had a decent chance to win an election here in OH

Indiana, which has open primaries, as far as I know there is no such thing as being a "registered" anything, except a "registered voter" which doesn't include any kind of party affiliation in the application. But since I volunteer my time and money to the party and have voted in nearly every democratic primary for the last 20 years, I think I can call myself a registered Democrat.

nt

Its not required in Illinois. I didnt know it was required in other states.

Im just registered, but not to any party.

I was an independent who always voted Democratic before the impeachment, but that witch hunt pissed me off so bad I changed my affiliation.

I'm a total democrat but when I registered last year on the forums it didn't have you list what party you wanted to be apart of. I've been thinking about joining. You don't have to pay anything do you? :shrug:

Been one since 18.
