    So, these elections are basically down to independent voters.

    Not the leftists that hate both parties and say they’re independent voters

    Not the libertarians that hate both parties and say they’re independent

    But the actual independents, especially those in swing states - that vote for either opposing party - is what these elections come down to.

    And weve already seen how they voted in the midterms, despite a shit economy.

    If it’s Biden versus Trump, I’d wager it’s a Biden win

      I hate both parties and I say I’m independent, as I realize they are both beholden to their corporate interests and lobbyists.

      The system isn’t designed for people with good ideas to emerge and change things for the better, but I like to think at some point in the future individuals like that could win outside of party lines. They have us all mixed up in these culture wars while the rich people keep on getting richer at an accelerated pace.

      But you are right, I’m going to vote for my version of less crazy, along with everyone else, and we’ll collectively go nowhere until the current crop of politicians age out or die.
