For some reason people need to register with their government what their political affiliation is. Not sure if any other country in the world does this but it’s stupid as fuck for every reason.
You don’t need to register your political affiliation in the us. You can register as independent. As far as i know it just dictates what ballot you’ll get (which is silly)
State of Michigan gives primary ballots with both major parties and tells you to only fill out one of the sides. Meaning your affiliation is not registered with the state.
Not all states collect political affiliations, but in any case, you don’t have to register a party. I have been an Unaffiliated Independent since I first registered to vote in 1977. I can’t vote in primaries, but neither party can count on my vote, and they have to earn it every election.
Isn’t it pretty easy in the US?

Yea it never made any sense to me

You have to be registered with a party to take place in that party’s rigged primaries.
It varies based on state. In Ohio, I select the ballot I want for primaries when I go to vote despite not being registered for any political party.
That’s still registering your political affiliation with the government.
Which is still fucked up.
It’s unaffiliated. Independent is a party. Unaffiliated is no party.

Only some states do that. Mine doesn’t
