I used to be a Democrat, for much of my life.
Although I voted for him twice, my schism with the Democratic Party began with Clinton.
I had high hopes when I voted for Obama the first time, but I became jaded very early on, beginning with his cabinet picks. I voted green for his second term.
Biden was the last straw. I was done with the Democrats. I voted Green for Biden's first term and left the Presidents box unchecked for his second term.
Now I'm a nomad, noncommittal to any party or politician, drifting with the sands of true independence.
