Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

[SAJ-99]

Ok. In a two party system there's really no other choice. Most people call themselves Independent because they vote for both Rs and Ds depending on the race. You'll never get to actually vote for someone with moderate, nuanced positions

Agreed. Little 'i' independent, but not big "I' Independent. I had five choices in my Democrat primary for House. There was quite a bit of nuance in their positions, but voters didn't care because sorting through those is hard. That is the role the parties play now. They vet the candidates so the voter doesn't have to, in theory. My view is that the little "i" Americans still don't want to compromise. They want a candidate that agrees with them 100% on big stuff. They are not interested in nuance. When they realize they made a mistake, they slink into the shadows and vote for the other side the next election.


Proportional representation is a change from electoral system. It will never get implemented because Republicans would never win the presidency again, ever, without a huge course correction.
