Yup, prior to 2016 I was pretty middle of the political spectrum. As conservatives have gotten more and more extreme (I know some of them were extreme even before 2016), I have drifted further left. Between conservative family members spouting horrible shit, and the general conservative party ideals, there's no way I feel I could align with any part of the GOP. I registered simply so I could vote to not have republicans in office.

If there had been a more moderate candidate on the right, and they hadn't been becoming more and more extreme, I might not have become a voter

I was Republican till we invaded Iraq. Seems as time goes by I move further and further from their line of thought.
