Great video. That was actually a really interesting and seemingly straight-forward way to compare the different modelers.

When I switched from Tusky to Fedilab it was largely driven by Fedilab's superior support for multi-level nesting of long comment threads.

It does give historical context that "they" use in the "likely " polling forecasts, but the affiliation itself expires at the end of the calendar year of the primary. Not saying that the data can't be used maliciously, but it's legally different then what people mean when they talk about their voter registration having that information. States that have that on your voter registration are also likely to have closed primaries, which Texas does not.

The affiliation is automatic when you tell the election official which primary you want to vote in, it's not a separate action you have to take ahead of time like voter registration is. And it expires at the end of the same calendar year. It's so you can only vote in a primary runoff if you voted in the original primary.
