<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

I've read several articles, and have been told by many teachers that most individuals will vote for the same political party that their parents voted for. While I don't doubt the validity of saying 'most people'...whenever I discuss this with others they seem to assert that by 'most' they mean '99%'. 

I remember having my high school Poly-Sci teacher laugh at me when I told him I probably wasn't going to be voting Republican in the '04 election. "I'm pretty sure you will", he said. I didn't. 

I'm just curious how many redditors have steered away from the political party of their parents. After completing undergrad, I looked back and realized that 'most' is definitely true. I feel kind of alone in this regard. Anyone else?
<bot>: I was raised Republican. I'm now a pseudo-libertarian, but 'Pluralist' is probably a more appropriate term.
