My impression is that contrary to the headline, this isn't a young vs old thing, but a follows-the-news vs doesn't-follow-news thing

Then you can watch as things don't change because of your stubborn pride.

You can declare a party to vote in an election and remain philosophically independent, that's always been allowed.

This right here is why people don’t vote in the primaries and instead of saying, “huh, you’re right, you shouldn’t have to register with a party” you’re doubling down on your horrid stance.

You're right! The system sucks!

The problem is, if you don't do anything but complain about it, at best it stays the same. More likely it gets worse.

But sure, fine, you're mildly inconvenienced. That's totally an intelligent and rational reason to sit on your ass and complain rather than doing something about it.
