The other two threads were essentially masturbatory threads to slam the other side so thought why should the rest of us be left out?
Someone made the claim in another thread that there's not really many independents and that most folks align with the majority of ideas/policies of one side or the other. I think there's some truth to that but I also know that I personally don't identify with either party.*
So, what would things look like if true independents - or maybe a better way to frame it is folks in the middle of the liberal-conservative spectrum - got their way?
*For transparency and to tell you something you probably already know, I'm very socially liberal and too dumb to understand fiscal policy. I'm a firm believer in the biblical principle of greed being the root of all kinds of evil. I think there's a lot of truth to the idea of Capitalism being bad but better than all the rest. But I think unchecked capitalism is not a good thing. A lot of the things Bernie has harped on for years resonates with me. I'm unclear the best way to solve those problems but I at least acknowledge they are problems.
