Polling shows Americans are ready to support independent populists running on economic platforms. But what they don’t want is anything associated with the Democratic Party’s brand.
Spent 30 years campaigning, calling, sign waving, writing letters, donating to candidates, causes, and groups. Even ran for office a couple of times. Every year it gets worse and I’ve got kids. They don’t need to live in a dystopian place so we’re on the road. Headed to a developed nation. Greener pastures,.but it’s worth a try.
The problem is our defacto two party system. With only two parties, a large percentage of the electorate is likely to be left without representation. I don’t want to prevent Democrats from having the representation they want, I just feel like I deserve to have representation too.
Then run.
Maybe you’ll even win and don’t need to align yourself with either party.
I’m running.
Got my passport, now I just have to figure out where I’m running to.
I’m already on the road ahead of you.

I could run, but I would almost certainly lose.

At large elections. Sure. I get that.
But local small elections, an independent candidate is viable. And there is plenty that you can do locally to help.
What a useless comment.
