It is fair to expect the pundits to do it though.  A good pundit will tell you something like, "Yes I usually agree with Democrats but I disagree with this one position or this one candidate".  That is their job, to have informed and consistent opinions and uphold them.  There aren't as many good pundits anymore.

I agree that both Democrats and Republicans are all equally garbage.. I will agree to that.

As of right now, Trump will be the last person I vote for as a Republican. Don't know if I'm going Independent or Libertarian.. Not sure yet, still researching.

And thank you for finally showing up.. You play Dolly's part in this new Netflix version of Steel Magnolias..

Show us your bewbs.

You can't vote in primaries in Florida unless you are registered with that party.  I changed my registration to independent once a long time ago, but that's worthless in being able to cast your vote for who you would prefer to represent the party at large in the general election and the two party system isn't going anywhere.  So, all that said, you can be independent and libertarian as I consider myself as well, but don't change your official registration with the state as you're only giving up your ability to vote in the primary in doing so.
