However you are defining your allegiance or lack thereof, pretty well fits me to a T. Make that a Power T.The part I most question is the thing about independents being the largest group. For instance, I'm not a republican, and most definitely not a democrat, and would never identify as either. However, in all honesty I'm really not an independent either because at this point hell would freeze over before I'd support the democrats. To me "Not a Democrat" is very different from actually being a republican, but it's certainly not being a real independent either, and I'd bet I'm far from alone in that stance. I'd bet that true independents are a much much smaller group than ever reported, and "lean" doesn't adequately describe "driven away from" for a lot of us.
I hate, hate, hate how people keep saying the US is supposed to be a "democracy". Democracies are always doomed to fail. We were set up differently for a reason. Unfortunately we've democratized too much.Majority of Americans believe US democracy is at risk of extinction and Just 54% Think Biden Won the presidential election, new poll shows

They double down because their devoted followers let them get away with it.Why do you think they want to create this phony argument about voting rights? I remember I used to be so gullible. Food and water....lol. They've created an entire storyline. It takes 3 hours to vote in traditionally black areas. Why can't they have food and water? We don't have enough places to mail ballots. Oh no, what did we ever do up to now.
Race baiting at its finest. They've been outted but double down like everyone has their head in the sand.

But that's the problem with the two party system. If you arent one, you are independent.The part I most question is the thing about independents being the largest group.

I make typos, but I usually take the time to go back, slow myself down, read, and edit. It's a process. People who can't follow a process to structure thoughts and spell them out are probably just a bit impulsive.Language is the underpinning of logic and clear thought. The inability to use language precisely and consistently betrays a tendency to think sloppily. I would not trust a writer who writes imprecisely just as a I would not trust a surgeon with shaky hands.
Indeed. And typing with two thumbs on a phone that includes an AI function to automatically correct what it THINKS you want to say makes typos an almost certain occurrenceI make typos, but I usually take the time to go back, slow myself down, read, and edit.

Our politicians wont allow the people to identify more specifically than that.
West Virginia-born sports legends Jerry West and Nick Saban push Manchin to back voting bills

"We strongly support urgently needed legislation that will protect both the rights of voters and the integrity of outcomes in all federal elections," read a Thursday letter signed by Jerry West (a former point guard, coach, and general manager who was later inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame and the West Virginia Sports Hall of Fame), Nick Saban (a Fairmont, West Virginia, native who is now the head football coach at the University of Alabama), and football players Darryl Talley and Oliver Luck, among others.

Well, La di-da. Those two munchkins probably don't know what's in the bill.
Wander if he got this idea from his Dixiecrat mentors Eastland and Byrd.
