We hear a lot about the Democrats being "the radical left." Most of us know this obviously isn't the case, but what many Americans don't realize is that the Democrats should not be considered left-...
The problem is that “independent” isn’t a coherent political ideology, it’s just a “none of the above”. Some independents think both parties are too far right, some independents think both parties are too far left, some independents are just apathetic, some are just contrarian.
People voting “independent” wouldn’t result in an “independent” candidate winning, it would result in a bunch of different candidates getting single digit percentages, and whichever major party loses fewer independents would win, just with a lower overall percentage.
Yeah actually, if we could get them to throw in behind libertarians and stuff that would be cool. Unfortunately, the right’s whole thing is toeing the line.
People have to vote independent. It’s that simple. If they don’t, welll… tough luck

So, Republicans need to vote more independent?
