23. Exactly right. I've only missed a primary in my 48 years of voting.

I've only voted for a Republican once because he was endorsed by my local union and the other guy was flaky. I have never voted in a Republican Primary or voted for a Republican in a primary when I could.

I am a older white male and find it disheartening that there aren't more older white males voting Democratic. But, the much older voters are being replaced by the next generation that tend to be more liberal. But at least the older Democratic voters tend to vote in a higher percentage than other groups.

Even though I don't agree with every position of a Democratic candidate I know they will be better than most any Republican. I will work to move that candidate's position in the right direction. And like everything else, I will not see eye to eye with most any candidate. Mainly because there are 300+ million in this country.
