    Isn’t it pretty easy in the US?

    For some reason people need to register with their government what their political affiliation is. Not sure if any other country in the world does this but it’s stupid as fuck for every reason.

      You don’t need to register your political affiliation in the us. You can register as independent. As far as i know it just dictates what ballot you’ll get (which is silly)

        That’s still registering your political affiliation with the government.

        Which is still fucked up.

        It varies based on state. In Ohio, I select the ballot I want for primaries when I go to vote despite not being registered for any political party.
