(62,325 posts)largest voting bloc in the country right now for the first time, is registered Independents. They have 45% right now of registered voters, while both parties are losing members.
Soon, registered Indies will be larger than both parties membership combined as more and more voters realize, that the 'red/blue divide and conquer strategy of those in power, kept us fighting with each other while those in power tore our country apart.
It was great for the greedy, corrupt Corporate entities who kept us fighting among ourselves. When Dems were out of power, we were united against Repubs which didn't stop the Corps from getting what they wanted.
When Dems were in power, we heard the excuses 'we can't get Repubs on board etc etc'
They thought we were too stupid to see the left/right game they were playing.
But there are issues that are so important to ALL AMERICANS, excluding the rabid fringes of society, that people began to realize 'We need to UNITE on those issues and get these Corps our of our government'. THEN we can argue over how to proceed.
The first indication that partisanship was becoming a thing of the past, was OWS. THAT is why it was so brutally crushed,
Because they know, and we know, that 'the people united will never be defeated' which is why they kept us divided, until now.
