No, I’m registered as no party because I’m more progressive than Democrats but do follow politics and vote. I think almost 1/3 of my state don’t belong to a political party.
Apolitical people probably don’t even register to vote.
Identifying as “apolitical” is a choice to ignore politics, which typically means the person is privledged and benefits from the status quo (but not always). Being “independent” can mean different things, from organizing with a non-dominant party to having a weird, ill-defined set of beliefs not covered by any party.
Lot of good information, but I have a clarification. Independent actually means you’re a Republican in hiding.

Does nobody understand sarcasm? Twinklebreeze said all independents are secret republicans. Godric says if that’s the case, Sanders is playing a very long game.

And a Democrat in hiding. They are a triple quadruple agent who votes based on their beliefs rather than a party name. It’s some crazy shit.
If there is a chance that you share beliefs with a Republican then I’ve got some bad news for you.

If you like cheese does that make you a Packers football fan? What if you also like purple? Does that make you a Vikings fan instead?
I’m confused, you say you can’t be both and also say you have to be one, so which is true for this example? Is this person a Vikings fan or Packers fan? (U.S. football analogy)
We’re not talking about football, we’re talking about Nazis and fascists. Fuck you for your false equivalence.
