Alright. Those are the people I want to hear from in this thread. Vote in the poll, please, for no other reason than to be counted and acknowledged. It is not intended for debate, though, civil debate is always encouraged.

Now. Trends. For all of the numbers we hear, the one thing we never see discussed on mainstream cable news entertainment programming platforms are trends. And there's good reason for that. After all, they don't call it programming fier nothing.

Here's why. 50%.

Using the 2014 Mid-Term results as a model, 50% of American voters were no longer affiliated with either the Republican or Democrat parties. 50%.

Support for the two-party system has been falling every year. Every year people are becoming more and more fed up with this fake two-party system. It's why Congress can have such a miserable approval rating that it does.

2014 was an unprecedented year because third party candidates had the highest polling numbers in modern history. Debate rules were changed as a consequence so that independents were blocked from debate, even after winning the opportunity, and they were illegally removed from ballots.

Rule 40b, the Ron Paul rule, for example, was enlisted after he already won the opportunity to debate. This, of course, was said to be a means of showing unity in the GOP.

Now, that gave us Trump in 2016. And of similar notion, Bernie was also blocked from the DNC nomination as well. The GOP hated Trump. But, they later realized that he was a factor in repopularizing the GOP, so they nominated him. As well, the DNC did not want Bernie wrecking the status quo, even after he earned the right to be heard. Both those groups, like em or not, won the delegate game to the extent that they needed and they earned the right to speak.

Here's the point. Do not think for one second that the establishment bosses in the fake two-party system haven't noticed the recent trend in Independents, third parties, greens, socialists, constitutionalists, etc, and do not think for one second they won't continue doing something about it. It's rigged!


That's really all I have to say about it.

Independents, third party, libertarians, greens, socialists, constitutionalists, I don't care what your worldview is, just vote "No" if you do not affiliate with either the Democrat or Republican Party in the poll please.

I wanna see what we're working with.

Thanks!

Scott and Nelson calling each other sleazebags in the race for senator.
both candidates for the governor doing likewise and I agree with all of them
 
The board doesn't really represent how American vote. Very few Americans are really interested in politics. A national Presidential Election might get them interested enough to go vote but, for most Americans, voting is like Easter or Xmas ... it's one time a year (or four years) that they even think about it.

About 15% of Americans would vote for an empty suit if it had a Democrat label, and an equal number of American would vote for the same if it claimed to be Republican. Within than mix is a single percent that are equally dedicated to a third party. The other 70% of Americans have to actually get sufficiently excited about a candidate to get their collective butts off the couch and go and vote. They aren't really concerned about party, they're voting for the person that peaks their interest.

This is why campaigning still really matters.

I was only interested in the board presence.Mainly because I see so much Democrat/Republican political football. Thus the poll to see who is actually Independent.

Gallup said 43% were Independents after their leanings were calculated, but it turned out to be 50% at the 2014 Mid-Term prior to their leanings. It's historic.

I admire your effort. That said, I have been leaning toward the yet to be created Democratic Feudalist Party of America. Who's with me? DFPA, for life!

But seriously, the enemy of French Revolution era radical progressivism is not, never has been, Fascism, rather that ideology's ancient archenemy was Feudalism. Accordingly, in order to further give the American radical Left what it so desires, my proposal stands humbly extended for a democratic, constitutionally governed, modern age American Feudalism created to stand in worthy, historically speaking, opposition to postmodernism derived from Marx who derived from neighborhood friends such as Voltaire and Moore. So we Democratic Feudalists of America shall, after our officially mandated creation, set about electing Lords Palatine to govern demesnes around the nation, under which the citizens of their respective palatinates may directly vote for their own chosen form of state economy, militia organization and judicial system.

A council of Feudal Lords (who come from the land of the ice and snow where the midnight sun . . . thanks to Jimmy and Robert and the rest of Led Zeppelin) will then replace the executive branch, implement mandatory military service in exchange for full citizenship and an education, and play national referee between all the Lords Palatines and their demesne states, oh, and yeah, eat lots of popcorn. Fishing will be a national pastime, along with reloading ammo, water balloon slingshot making and basket weaving for those so inclined (yeah, I got that merit badge, right after the snake handling reptile one). Everyone will be welcome from everywhere, after completing a three month vetting process in quarantine, on an island like the one with all the other snakes on it way down south, way, way down south.

Heh heh. You're right about Feudalism.

To your latter points, I suppose it's true that the Amish and the Mennonites get to opt out and do their own thing. So, that's something to think about.
 
Consider myself Independent.
Fiscally conservative, believe in strong military, Constitutional rights.
I part ways with conservatives on the social issues.
As much as I lean Libertarian, I feel that the party is too focused on the national rather than local races and found Gary to be a bit of a moron.

My vote for Trump was essentially a middle finger to both parties that openly despised him.
I despise them more.

I don't seem to fit in your little labels.

I'm a dependent independent who is a libertarian fascist.
 

Once I registered as Independent, and since my state has closed primaries, it just means there were less people I can vote for in primaries. I'll campaign for Libertarians and Independents, but they rarely are challenged in their party during the primaries, and rarely qualify as the second most popular vote in the run-off.

We have petitioned for the ability to switch back to open primaries, in order to allow more people to vote for Independent or Libertarian choices. We went from open to closed primaries when folks made a stink about people from opposing parties voting for who they wanted their candidate to run against, instead of their candidate of choice in the primaries.
 
The board doesn't really represent how American vote. Very few Americans are really interested in politics. A national Presidential Election might get them interested enough to go vote but, for most Americans, voting is like Easter or Xmas ... it's one time a year (or four years) that they even think about it.

About 15% of Americans would vote for an empty suit if it had a Democrat label, and an equal number of American would vote for the same if it claimed to be Republican. Within than mix is a single percent that are equally dedicated to a third party. The other 70% of Americans have to actually get sufficiently excited about a candidate to get their collective butts off the couch and go and vote. They aren't really concerned about party, they're voting for the person that peaks their interest.

This is why campaigning still really matters.
F,your two party system only breeds corruption and graft,in Ausland we have Greens and Independents as well as the Big Two in Parliment...It keeps the Big Two Bastards Honest...steve...This is so lacking in the States in my opinion...
 
The Practical Eclectical Party. Motto: "If it works, use it, if it doesn't work, lose it".
It isn't far right.
It isn't far left
It is far out.
Also called the majority party, being composed of all not part of the duopoly and those tired to death of it, though still identifying with it.

People are so clever; they go spoiling it for all of us.
It seems as if with that many people now unaffiliated with the two major parties, the primaries SHOULD be open in all states. That is the one thing that is frustrating about being an independent. In our state, it is close to 50% and has been a long time; we have an Independent Senator in Washington and have had Independent governors etc., so it's not as if we don't vote for them when they're around.

We have an actual Tea Party member in the House of Representatives, but that is kind of a distinction without a distinction considering he is the Majority Whip. :21:

My state just instituted rank choice voting, but the Republicans have fought it hard, it had to get through court contests, the Governor vetoed it, but we insisted and used it for the primaries in June, anyway. It can't be used to elect the President or US Congress, because of the wording in our state constitution. But it's a start.
 
I am a Classic Liberal. If I came upon a democrat and a republican on fire I wouldn't piss on either to put it out. The democrats because of Jim Crow the republicans because of promise them the moon and give them a fishcake.

That's "Eclectical", not "Electical".
Sorry.

The policies of the parties don't bother me. It's good to see a firm agenda from someone you're voting for. I looked into the Libertarians in '16, but it was WAY too gooshy--I had no clue what I would actually be voting for, what it would look like in action.
The problem with the two parties at this point is that they are involved in their own private knife fight for supremacy and they have given up trying to represent the people and actually do their job for the country, whatever they believe in. That's the problem with them.

I don't know if a third party would straighten them out or not, but at least it would be an alternative.
