You might fashion yourself an independent, but your obvious disdain for anyone left of center makes you look pretty far to the right of Riv, who seems to be more of a moderate based on multiple posts. I'm not saying you're far right because I don't know you, but the more you talk about dems, that's how you sound. I may not like most of the republican party right now, but I have plenty of republican friends who I respect, even the ones who might vote for Trump. I don't villify them for their perspective. And If the dems win in Nov 3, it's moderates and the 'suburban moms' that are going to take them there....not the far left. Not even close.
I am not an independent. Not sure why you think that. I am a believer in our Constitution and the Founding Principles of this nation. Anyone who is against those or thinks they are unclear in meaning or intent, I do not agree with. Why do you think I don't care for Republicans much either. They pay lip service to the Constitution while not supporting its intent or meaning arguing as is the usual argument that we have to consider something else blah, blah, blah.
I don't like people telling me what to do. I don't like them taking my money and spending it on things I don't agree with. I don't like being beholden to unions or corporations. I don't like social engineering attempts and a general lack of freedom. I don't care for cancel culture. I don't like all these liars selling America out to foreign nations. I don't like being the world police o sending our military to back up dictators and scum. I in general don't care for the current state of politics in America.
Suffice it to say if I ran America, it would be a very different nation where working people would feel very empowered. Racists and socialists would be equally driven from this nation. Anyone interested in taking another person's liberty for some foolish reason like race or collectivism would be driven from this land. What I want to see is a vigorous, united, diverse group of freedom loving people owning their labor and living free with strong property rights and limited taxation.
Neither the Republicans or Democrats are offering this at the moment. I don't feel even the Libertarians are doing a very good job of this either.
So not, I'm not an independent. I have a very clear idea of what I want for America. I don't see many people that share this vision any longer.
