Your actual party affiliations

[Mr. Illini]

Similar to the thread about past party affiliations, except this time what you have identified as throughout your actual life (it can often be radically different).

Republican 1999-2011
Independent 2011-2013
Democrat 2013-present

You were a Republican?

----------------------------

Before 2007: not interested by politics
2007-2011: UMP
2012-present: PS (although I'm not a member)

Indeed, although that was before I joined here.

[Mr. Illini]

I was referring to identification. Illinois does this thing where you are registered depending on the last primary you voted in, so it's meaningless to me.

Identification is a lot more important, IMO.

Democratic | 2010-

Haven't registered to vote in Illinois yet, but will be unaffiliated when I do get around to it.

You don't have a choice. Party registration is not involved in the registration process here.

That said, make sure you register before early October when the deadlines are. And also make sure to at least vote for a couple Democrats such as Mike Frerichs for Treasurer, even if you don't like Quinn.

I can't vote for any Democrats in good conscience, given that I don't have much of anything  in common with them from an ideological standpoint.

The foundations are the same, but whatever. You might as well not vote, as the deadline for getting on the ballot was the other day and I am pretty sure the only one's who got on were the Dems, Pubs, and Libertarians.
