[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 2727142, member: 2189"] At the moment you are correct in your observation regarding Bernie but as the number of independents grow, this undermines the primary system that selects the 2 party candidates that do run for President. The other problem for independents that works against independents is the monopoly that the 2 parties hold over elective politics. As independents grow and start to feel disenfranchised, the pressures will grow locally and it is on the local level where the most effective change can begin to take place but it is the easiest to elect an independent. Some of this is beginning to already occur across the country and this is what becomes the conversation changer. The fact that half of millennials are themselves independent itself makes for an interesting conversation. [/QUOTE]
