New polling from Gallup shows that Americans are increasingly identifying as political independents and rejecting the labels of the two major political parties.
Sure, I understand the purpose of bourgeois democracy, but what I am surprised at is how the party machine manages to continue this uniformly with ignoring a potential massive resource, when it is otherwise plagued by factionalism and opportunists. I would imagine that people like AOC and her ilk would go harder on it, but they don’t, even though it would probably elevate their position within the party.
The only reason they do what they’re doing now is because it worked for slick willy. The reason he did it is because they weren’t doing it and it elevated him to a position of power. I’d imagine someone else would likewise make use of an unused viable strategy in order to jump the line and get into office.
