    The one star makes it look like it’s about Texas, where I only wish our current regime had brain worms as an explanation for their behavior.

    I strongly dislike the design because it places a 3rd alternative in between the two parties. America needs a left wing party. Not another right wing one.

    i love how when you shit on independents it’s always “but the independent party is good actually”

    And how when you talk good about the independents it’s always shit talk back “but the independents are literally bad actually”

    Politics is so much fun, isnt it?

    Bernie Sanders has been an independent since 1978, Brooke ought to take a look in the mirror.

      Well he’s not the one running a Presidential campaign as an Independent and telling the world about his brain worms. Believe it or not, not everything is about Bernie Sanders.

        I know right? In fact when he ran he didn’t run as an independent he registered and ran as a Democrat while having previously been an independent. They picked basically the worst possible choice to try to make an example of.

        He is an independent candidate. There is, by definition no independent party.

        The lumping together of all independants is disingenuous.

            Right, which is not a party that is representative of all independants. In fact, by labeling it a party, they are no longer independent, they are, you know, a party.

            By that logic, the Green party is an “independent” party.

            Think of it from this perspective. Bernie Sanders is an independent. Here is how Wikipedia defines it: it:

            “An independent, non-partisan politician or non-affiliated politician is a politician not affiliated with any political party or bureaucratic association.”

        I’m not supporting brain worms man.

        I’m highlighting that the independents we seem to get have brain worms.

          RFK Jr. He literally had brain worms apparently. This is not a figure of speech.
