Some may not vote... others may pick the candidate that they like best without signing on to the entire platformChooses to stand as an independent, because they don't feel that a party adequately follows their own platform. Otherwise the independent doesn't vote for either party, and thus awaits the independent candidate to run.I donāt like calling myself anything really. Call me independent, unaffiliated, or whatever the hell you want. It really doesnāt matter, Iāve explained my position. I know that you are framing the rules to fit your attack on me and not in reality. When people talk about the independent vote and how it effects elections they arenāt talking about all the People who wonāt vote for either candidate, they are talking about the undecideds that could go either way.you dont understand what an independent is.....you think its a person who can vote this party or that party.....thats not it at all.....an independent is someone who is fed up with both parties and does not help vote the parties he cant stand come into power.....if you vote biden for instance, you are voting for the democrats and everything they stand for.....why call yourself an independent if you are still backing one of the parties you profess you cant stand?.....a great deal of people who call themselves independents still side with one party or the other,thats not being very independent is it?....if a party can influence you enough to vote for them,then you are supporting that party,and yes voting for the top person in that party is supporting that party.....Just because I think the party system is corrupt doesnāt mean I think everybody who is a member of each party is corrupt by association. Letās get real here. For any politician to get elected under the current system they need to be part of one of the two parties. The fact that is the case is what turns me off from the way that system is and I hope something changes it in the future. But For now I give each person on the ballot a fair shake and donāt judge by whatever their label is.you go back and forth....a "leaner".....like i said no one that does not like either party,especially when both are considered corrupt, would vote for trump or biden....why the hell would they?...they are just voting for that corrupt party they supposedly dont like...No I wasnāt. Iām not a registered democrat. I voted for a Republican governor last election. I donāt like either party but with only two choices in most elections I choose the candidate I like best and donāt let party play a part.no you were not....you were trying to pass yourself off as something you are not......Iāve been nothing but honest.next time just be honest and try not to be something you are not....No doubt. Thanks for understanding!well you just said a lot about you.....independent...lol....I dont think Biden is an asswipe. I think he is a good dude. He is past his prime and I donāt agree with some of his policy plans but my main concern at the moment is repairing the relationships and damage that Trump has destroyed. I think Biden will do a fine job. I hope he wins and only serves 4 yearsso you vote for another asswipe in a party you say is corrupt....yea that party hasnt influenced you....you are a "leaner".... many people who like to think of themselves as independent-minded and free of party influence arenāt thats you.....joe biden is the kind of politician real independents cant stand and would never vote for the guy......Sure I am... as independent as they come. Iāve never voted for a Republican or a democrat for president. This will be the first time and it is because I see Trump as a disgrace and I support him being goneyour stupid argument is claiming you are an independent when you are not.....Thatās the most retarded thing Iāve heard today. I have to back everything a person does says and stands for if I vote for them in an election involving two people?! I donāt think there is a person on earth that I fully agree with. What a stupid argument you just made. Please take it back and save some face.ok so you admit you are just a independent in name....if you vote for biden then you are backing everything he does whether its good or bad because you voted for him.....basically this election you are a democrat.....like i said, a middle of the roader....a real independent would not vote for a party that they claim is corrupt as hell....so why would you back a corrupt party?.....that dont sound very independent....A real independent would fit the stereotype you just assigned. One may say fuck you to both parties as I often do. Some may sit in their thumbs during an election like you surely do. And others may pick the best candidate to vote for.bullshit....an independent has problems with both parties and would not back a person from either one especially one like biden who is the type of politician that makes one become an independent....you are a middle of the roader who is a democrat one day and a republican the next.....a real independent would say fuck both parties and those who lead them....An independent is an independent because they arenāt tied to a party, they vote for the best candidate. In this case the best candidate is BidenYou lied because an independent is not going to vote for BidenNo lie here. What are you confused about?So you lied when you said you were an independent.Easy yesso you will vote for biden?....Iām an independent and HELL NO would I vote for Trump. Worst president of my lifetime by far.Are there Democrats or even Independents considering voting for Trump? Not all Democrats can think this is good for our country....
Why is an independent an independent
I think both political parties are corrupt as shot and fundraising has over run our bloated Bureaucracy. I donāt imagine Iāll ever register for a party. Last election I wrote in a name. This election Iām voting for Biden given the fact that Trump is the worst thing Iāve ever seen representing our country and he needs to go.
frankly I dont really care what you want to call me but Iāve been nothing but honest in this thread. Try it out
why do I need to explain this to you? Do you really not get it? You sound like youāre playing dumb because youāre stuck in a āgotchyaā game trying to paint me as a liar or something. Whatās up with that?
An independent or nonpartisan politician is a politician not affiliated with any political party. There are numerous reasons why someone may stand for office as an independent:
- Independents may support policies which are different from those of the major political parties.
- Independents may support a party's platform, but choose to stand as an independent because they don't feel the party adequately follows their platform.
