Eh, I don’t vote in the primary because I don’t get a primary ballot (have to be registered to a major party). I occasionally change my vote to the majority party in my state if there’s a candidate I dislike enough. But that’s because I live in Utah, and the only primary that matters here is the GOP one (esp. in my district where the GOP gets like 80% of the vote). I remember switching when Mike Lee was up for re-election so I could vote against him twice, and maybe I’ll do it again when he’s up for reelection again, but I keep my registration w/ a third party because I think juicing their stats is more valuable than voting in either primary.

But if can’t handle voting for the president, just skip that vote and vote on all the down ballot stuff. It’s often more important. Also, if you’re in a state like mine where the general isn’t close, it makes no difference voting for the president. Everyone knows which way my state goes. Either way, make damn sure you vote in the primary. I’m so fucking tired of people who don’t vote in the primary bitching about the shitty choices when the general election comes around.

I used to change my registration every election based on what party was actually having a primary. I still try to, but sometimes I just never get around to it.

I only do it if I really like or dislike a candidate, most years I don’t bother.
One great part about not being registered to a major party is that I don’t get people asking me to sign stuff.

I always vote in the Primary. Proudly voted for Bernie in Primary, Hillary in General, in 2016.
Thing is Vance is merely incompetent, Newsom is straight up evil

Yeah, sorry. I didn’t mean you you, just a generalized you. Vance is a bootlicker, but the dude isn’t stupid.
