Do ‘Independents’ of today tend to ‘lean’ left / Democrat? If so, why do they?

[BrokeLoser]

I know those here who proclaim to be moderate independents lean way fucking left but I always thought of Independents as freedom fighting liberty lovers….as people who hated marxists, authoritarians, totalitarians, fascists and everything the Left / Democrats seem to have become. What changed?

(Before someone screams “Trump”, just remember, it wasn’t Trump who colluded with a corrupt media and social media, it wasn’t Trump who made them stop pursuing happiness and quit working, Trump didn’t force them to take experimental medicine, or wear face diapers.)

Independents look at Conservatives as going Full Crazy Train

No way they can back them

Independents stay toward the center, opposing the extremes of the right and left.

This is a noted hard right site. Learn to think for yourself. The independents have and do.

the so called independents that lean left are more effeminate than independents that lean right ... thats the determining factor on which way they will lean politically ... for example the vast majority of informed male independents that voted for Biden are basically more feminine than those that voted for Trump.

Right-leaning Independent here.....Piss on carrying party water.

Of course in Virginia nobody has to register R, D, or I to vote.....Just the way it should be.

It's left up to the parties to choose a closed or public (state run and paid for) primary.

If the state is paying for it then everyone gets to vote in the primary of their choice and all public primaries are held on the same day.

Well put and 100% spot on

How can you tell if an "independent" voter leans left?

Your childish remark is exactly why many independents lean left. Why would you call everyone who doesn't share your political views effeminate? There is no rational reason to ty to make that connection. Petty and childish isn't an attractive look if you are wanting to attract mature reasonable voters.

I queried the forum to affirm what I’m seeing in practice…Am I witnessing the current exception or the current rule? Literally everybody I know who claim to be a moderate independent speaks almost exactly like a hardcore lefty does…just like ALL the Indy’s on this site do.
What’s your thoughts?

He uses effeminate when he actually means not as insecure.

He's a typical MAGA. Uses lots of words that don't mean what he thinks they mean.
