I am no longer a Independent or Moderate. I am now a Liberal!!!

So let it be written so let it be done.





Now lets have a party!!!

You're right. They don't know how to get it.

How do you get it?

Not forming a party, but getting it on a ballot. Because that's what they really want. Another real choice on the ballot that they know something about.

I know how Republicans and Democrats get on a ballot, but how do those "third parties" get on there? And how do they get their information out there?

They don't have a bunch of people(corporations, unions and banks) beating down their door to bri... err contribute to their campaigns.

If only there were some way to make it easier for smaller parties to get on the ballot and get their message out there.



Maybe we could lessen the requirements to get on the ballot and make all campaigns publicly funded. Or we could do something really crazy and switch to proportional representation.

Now all we have to do is convince the two major parties to get behind these changes so we can lessen their influence over the choices Americans get.

I'm sure they'll totally be willing to do that for the sake of giving the people better representation right?

So all this hogwash ultimately gets back to working from within the established parties to enact the change that you want.

You're right.

The established parties are definitely going to have to make the changes, but how do you work through the established parties to weaken the established parties?

That's the question.

About 30-40% of voters identify as "independent." Most of those are just as ignorant as people who identify as partisans. They're just also wishy washy and have no idea what they want.


There are a few principled independents but the vast majority of them are just clueless people who can't even concentrate long enough to figure out what it is they want.


True independents are like true neutral characters in D&D. Very rare.
