In my county, no democrats run for local seats. So in a primary, I claim R. I get choices, as an R.
In the general, local seats are R and unopposed. I leave all unopposed blank in protest.

A smart kid. Science and all. But everyone gotta have fifty guns!?!? I never want to see political violence but words do matter and folk aren't always diagnosed and some refuse meds. And everyone gotta have fifty guns.
