Polling shows Americans are ready to support independent populists running on economic platforms. But what they don’t want is anything associated with the Democratic Party’s brand.
The problem is our defacto two party system. With only two parties, a large percentage of the electorate is likely to be left without representation. I don’t want to prevent Democrats from having the representation they want, I just feel like I deserve to have representation too.
I could run, but I would almost certainly lose.

At large elections. Sure. I get that.
But local small elections, an independent candidate is viable. And there is plenty that you can do locally to help.
