(9) This leads me to wonder: What if ALL Dems are registered as Independents? Then NO POLITICIAN can be sure which way we’ll vote and maybe they will FINALLY fucking LISTEN to us? BTW . . .

(8) BUT, IF I am an Independent, they cannot be sure which way I’ll vote, and especially if I’m on record as having switched back and forth from a middle position.

(7) . . . they are rubbing their hands together and clapping with glee, if not jumping up and down on their toes, at my unhappiness, because they know I have never and would never vote for them and their agendas.

(6) When I write to, or when I phone, my so-called “Representatives” at the state and federal level (of which, in reality, I have none), I feel as though. . .

(5) Now, though, I wonder whether I should register again as an Independent! Despite my respected activist’s opinion on power in numbers (for Dems), I wonder whether we should ALL register as Independents. Here’s why:

(4) After he lost, I could no longer stomach the horrendous “Republican” emails and texts (which I’m STILL assaulted with, no matter how many times I type “stop”) and I registered again as a Democrat.

(3) Several years ago, I took an anti-nausea pill and registered as a Republican because I wanted to vote for Jon Huntsman for governor in the Utah primary.

(2) A seasoned activist whom I respected and admired convinced me not to pretend to sit on the fence while I always, ALWAYS, voted Democrat, so in the 21st century, while living in very red Utah, I registered as a Democrat.

The news helicopter came to photograph the crowd after 2:00, when it had started thinning, and the published estimate seems low by thousands. I think there were at least 10K people there. Did it look like that many from the Capitol steps?

What else is new.

Good luck with that.

Good luck with that.

Looks more like a "truck" than the adult size.
