Nov 3 - Independents’ Day?

[BrentD]

I am sure most are well aware of my dislike of the corrupt two-party duopoly. My effort in future political activities is to do what I can to oppose the stranglehold the two parties have that results in people who have a 10% approval rating getting reelected 95% of the time.

This is my second of three podcasts I intend to do with Seth Bodnar. Most people tell me I am wasting my time to think that independent candidates have a chance, whether here in Montana or in Nebraska or anywhere else. I guess I’m too bullheaded to listen to their advice.

When it comes to the issues of hunting, shooting, public lands, and conservation the two parties provide lip service to whatever degree they find useful for their own reelection. If I wanted any lip service out of them, I could probably scrape it off the zipper of their donors and their lobbyist.

Podcast number two, a shorter version than the last one, is below. To hell with the Rs and to hell with the Ds.

This seems like a very strange subject for your podcast, but okay. Have you looked into voting theory and mathematics? The reason we have two parties, and only two parties, is because we have an incredibly primitive voting system.

Not strange at all. I spend most of my offseason engaged with elected officials who have a huge influence on conservation policy, funding, and public land decisions. I've grown frustrated with both sides.

If I can contribute to an effort to change this system that works against hunting, shooting, and conservation, it could be a much better use of my time than engaging with our elected officials who are beholden to donors and party bosses to a degree that I could have never imagined.

Well look into voting math. It explains a lot.
