To independent-minded voters: Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic.

Ya, the first causalities of any civil war are those who didn't pick a side.

tough to be a fence sitter these days

I think it's illegal for billionaires to have political opinions. Immoral, certainly.

Especially the wrong ones, as branded by the Regimes apparatchiks.

Twitter owner Musk backs Republicans on eve of U.S. midterms

Elon Musk, Twitter's new owner, urged Americans to elect a Republican Congress in U.S. midterms on Tuesday to counterbalance President Joe Biden's Democrats, the first time a major social media CEO explicitly took a side.

In the so-called bluest of blue states, Massachusetts, independents now outnumber Democrats. The only way, in a fair election, for the right to win is if independents largely vote for Republicans. There certainly are enough of them. Democrats outnumber Republicans. Republicans plus independents outnumber Democrats. I'm not saying numbers counted of those registered with a party, I'm saying how they vote.

I'm no fan of Musk, but he is right on this one. Given total control, both parties suck. The only exceptions in my lifetime were Reagan and Trump. They were both popular enough to get a republican congress to actually do things.

 

[Dennis Olson]

This is really going to screw with people here who’ve been saying that Musk is a liberal and will sell-out conservatives.

I have to wonder if part of that posting wasn't to see if the automatic filters hadn't started to be adjusted.

 

[day late]

I'm reminded of something said by Will Rodgers. (Reading from a paper to the audience.)

"Congress is deadlocked and cannot act. Friends, that is the greatest blessing ever to beset this country."

I happen to agree. Houses of congress divided by party. Neither side can boondoggle funds for their own purposes. Same is true for the Congress and the White House. A balance of power. Now some will say that it doesn't matter because the big money guys buy them all. It does matter. The big money guys can't pull enough levers to get them back into the same office, or higher ones. The people do that. Yes, the last election was stolen imho. But look at how much of the plot has been exposed. To keep the sheeple asleep, or lull them back to sleep, they have to let the peasants have something. People are watching more closely this time.

The Democratic Party has run its course. The government will now be shared by Republicans and RINOs. That should keep the balance. the pendulum will then swing so far right that we will be dominated by puritans and bring back the inquisitions.

 

[Dennis Olson]

The government will now be shared by Republicans and RINOs.

That statement shows a remarkable level of either naïveté or programming. Perhaps both.

Actually, a few puritans and inquisitions wouldn't be a bad thing, at this point.

Very good point - I agree!

I would disagree. I would consider myself an independent. I will note though that I do have a hard and fast rule against voting for anyone that runs under the democrat flag as I consider them a bit slower than the average village idiot. Not a huge fan of repukes but they do seem a little less mental than democrats but that is about all I can say in their favor. I would love to see a few more viable parties take a few seats so they can actually start forcing both of the current crime families to behave a little better if they wanted/needed their votes.

 

[Dennis Olson]

Agreed. I resemble that remark as well. Back in the days before the dems went full-on Communist, I would vote for the occasional dem candidate if they were the better person. Not anymore, unfortunately.

I registered independent at 18, and never saw a reason to change.

I'm glad we don't have to "register" as anything here to limit our options. We just vote.

Like that does any good anymore...

The only thing it limits in NY is you have to be registered with a party to vote in that party's primary. I did once change my affiliation to Republican for a month, to vote in a closely contested local primary where we knew one of the candidates was a skuzzball. Changed back ASAP.

Yep, no registration in Texas either.

 

[kyrsyan]

Here, you have to register Dem, Rep, or Independent. But all that affects is primaries. Independents can only vote in one primary or the other, not both. And once you chose, if you chose, you can't switch until the regular election.
