America has more independent voters than Democrats or Republicans. Are they changing American politics?
America has more independent voters than Democrats or Republicans. Are they changing American politics?
I’m a registered independent, I did it because neither party represents me. I almost always vote democrat but I really wish there were more options.
It’s a common misconception but if you registered you aren’t “independent” you are a member of your state’s Independent party, who has a platform and agenda you may or may not agree with.
You don’t need to register with any party to show you don’t like R or D. Go for “little i independent”.
I thought I saw something about that but didn’t remember where or look further into it. I just didn’t want to register as either of the big 2. How do we link up independent voters to a new party? We don’t have to play democrat/republican in the long game if we can get enough people on board to shift the board.
I recognize this will take time and considerable effort, but I think a new party with a clean history would do this country good. Who is the outside team that’s got some momentum that we can build on? (albeit not for this prez cycle, sadly)
I really hope you guys get ranked voting at some point so you have a chance at democracy.
That and algorithmic districting are my hopes.
I’d settle for viable candidates
Afraid the best I can do is one candidate running for the position, so your vote literally doesn’t matter.
