I really feel like Politics is a platform that can’t be independent unlike Music and Journalists

It doesn’t make any sense for a social activity based on keeping the country in order and making all the choices in community to be done independenly especially in a two party system between democrats and fascists.

    They defined their political views on an issue by issue basis. The problem with picking a team is picking that identity and letting the party dictate what you should think. Being a proper independent takes more work. You have to read into each candidate not just pick a letter.

    Okay, sure… But if you ever end up picking the Republican candidate, then you’re definitely not ‘progressive’.

      Your correct I do in 99.5% of cases but depending on your location sometimes you only have the choice of Republicans then it goes into harm reduction mode. I have also had to vote for what I call ratchet democrats as they are put in power by corporate interests to stop any progress when dems are in power. I hold my nose as I do it but like I said at the end of the day its about harm reduction.
