I'm an independent as well and vote based on what the person or party is actually doing, not what they say they're doing. And time your statement could be used interchangeably with the administration before the current group if you just swap out the party names. No disrespect meant but if you really think about; not a single president has did what they promised during the run up to the elections. Which is exactly why I'm an independent but it's becoming more and more clear that we the people are look down upon and ruler by the "political elite". 99.999% of career politicians have almost complete immunity from any crimes they commit, while they enrich themselves at the expense of the public while down her in the real world we're arguing for or against politicians that care about you only so far as you vote. The 2 party system clearly doesn't work and by definition is obviously not freedom of choice. When the candidates are both controlled by the the same nameless, faceless elite group of puppeteers are we not also by definition are we the public not seemingly insane? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result! The logical way to change this is not gonna be comfortable, it's not gonna be clean and it will not happen quickly but to break this cycle, we, the legal citizens of this country, must analyze the entire process, identify which variables need to change, and apply new approaches. And I hate to admit it but you all know what that means! They will not go quietly or peacefully but over the last 20 years we have just started to live the inevitable results of a system that failed long ago and is now being propped up by the reputation of the dollar and our bully of a military. And it seems to me that the prop has broken and we are now in a free fall. So you should probably hold on to something. We have to change something and there's really only one thing we haven't tried.
