America has more independent voters than Democrats or Republicans. Are they changing American politics?

    So by “Democrats,” you mean “members of the Democratic party who have been elected in their districts or states, not necessarily because all of the Democrats in that state wanted them to run,” and not “registered Democrats,” which is what this is about.

    Or are you under the bizarre impression that America is a direct democracy?

        So you’re changing the subject from what OP posted about.

        If you had made that clear in the first place, I wouldn’t have wasted my time.

          Are you being obtuse or do you really not understand how the democrats failing to represent the will of their voters connects to registered democrats leaving the party?

            Again, if you had simply made that connection at the beginning, I wouldn’t have wasted my time.
