As I scroll through social media, I’m struck by how much bitterness there is in our political discourse. Most people know something deeper is broken—but the usual “solution” is just to swap red jerseys for blue, or blue for red. We keep fighting over which party should be in charge, instead of asking why the system keeps failing us no matter who’s in charge.

​

It’s like watching a magic show and convincing yourself the illusion is real.

​

Republicans and Democrats have dominated politics for so long—nearly 170 years—that many have forgotten this wasn’t how the system was supposed to work. America has always had factions—Whigs, Federalists, Democratic-Republicans—but parties were never meant to become permanent ruling machines. And they certainly weren’t supposed to shut out new ideas or rig the process to preserve their power.

​

Let’s be fair: it’s natural for people to organize into groups. That’s not the problem. The problem is blind loyalty—following a party label even when it contradicts what we know is right. Refusing to acknowledge uncomfortable truths because they don’t fit the team narrative. That’s not just dishonest—it’s dangerous.

 

Maybe it’s time to clear up the misinformation about Independents. About the broad middle of America. About the 43% of voters who don’t identify with either party. We’re not a fringe—we’re the quiet majority. We’re not trying to “spoil” elections—we’re trying to fix a system that’s been spoiled for decades.

 

We don’t have party bosses or national conventions. That’s our strength. This is an organic movement—rooted in principle, not personality. And once it catches fire, it can’t be stopped by legal threats or political games.

 

We’re not looking for special treatment for “our team.” We’re fighting to restore a country where everyone can thrive—regardless of party. We’re not working against the other side. We’re working for the country.

 

The only wasted vote is the one cast for the lesser of two evils. Let’s stop settling. Let’s start building something honest.
