That's what an independent is. When I registered to vote 50 years ago this year, I declined to register with a party, and I still haven't. I despise both parties, I think they are both anti-Democracy, but I'll never vote MAGA, and probably not even Republican, until they sincerely reform, and apologize.

That doesn't mean I'm a Democrat, I hate them nearly as much. I support individual people whom I trust, like AOC and Max Frost. Sometimes it goes awry - I was a supporter of Eric Swallwell, until it turned out he was serial rapist, but at least I'm not blindly following an entire party of people like him.
