What age do I need to hit before I can decide in my mind if I am a Democrat or republican?? Or do I need to read information online from biased sources to define if I am a Democrat or republican?? Do I need to be unemployed, "protesting" blm or do I need to be unemployed, "protesting" breaking into sacred cultural icons of the USA to define myself?? I am confused because I think people who claim they are on either sides do it because they read it online or hear it on the news... not like what they did back in the day with sweat and tears to define yourself.
