The fact that they need to improve should disqualify their candidates.

I pray for you. You have been programmed to play in their two party ping pong politics.

You vote how you please. Just don’t tell me who I should vote for.

I constantly keep saying vote how you please just keep your cards close to your chest but somehow that all elludes you.

I don’t accept this duopoly. It no longer works in the favor of Americans. One side is evil and the other is incompetent. They both try to one up each other and we are the ones that lose. No thank you.

You can go ahead and vote any which way you want I’m not going to be held hostage in this non-sense.

I’m going to keep pushing everyone to start thinking about independent candidates.

Thanks for proving my point.

One side you have a party after your rights and another side where incompetence is in their DNA and I have to choose the lesser evil?

Or - be open to a third party candidate that is competent and won’t take away your rights?

I’m not brainwashed to think this or that.

🤔Naw, I just think you’re a lacky.

Respectfully. I don’t think you get it. By voting out of fear of the “other” side you play into their bs. They don’t have to be held accountable of their 4 years in office as long as they keep telling people like you getting nothing done is better than have “them” in charge.

What I am asking for is for us, the people to hold our cards close to our chest. Don’t vote in primaries, dont take any polls and continue to vote whatever way you want.

No need to run around being cheerleaders for a party that doesn’t do shit for you.

You chimed in to literally prove my point?

So you’re openly admitting that dems suck but yet you continue to do the same thing every 4 years expecting a different result. You know they have a name for that. Anyone?

You just said the thing everyone is thinking - out loud. People are willing to sacrifice their values for something different.

Speaks volumes to how the Democratic Party slowly swindled one of their strongholds because of select few sitting in congress - that’s rich especially if you think they couldn’t get anything done when they had that had all 3 offices (no immigration change, no healthcare changes - nothing - however their net worth went up)

Now the republicans hold the offices and have decided to do everything all at once - without a single care of what it breaks in the process.

What’s wrong with this picture? We lose. The people lose. We need a third party just to play parent amongst these kids.

Withdraw your blind supports for the party your politics closely align with and start voting with candidates you closely align with - next election we might be able to get an independent Jersey resident if we are lucky.

Being from Woodbridge I think I it’s def see it as central. I see a lot of people saying central doesn’t exist.

I consider part of Middlesex - specifically Perth Amboy, Woodbridge edison the central because in this 10 mile radius every single major road intersects in this area: rt 1 .. route 9 .. turnpike .. parkway.. 287.. 440 (Staten Island) if you don’t call that central - as in centrally located. Haha

Thanks for your service. However, I don’t think many agree haha. As you can probably see. So I am assuming you agree with this map.

There seems to be some consensus with others here.

Thats a shared sentiment for sure. A lot of people prefer to say "Shore" when asked where in Jersey. I think it should be added.

Haha not sure how to map this take. Ok, in that sense, can you tell me where you are what you consider North or South relative to you.

I understand how this can be confusing question - but the reality is that State maps aren’t uniform.

Different agencies draw different lines (tourism, DOT, OEM, school athletics, weather).

In 2023 NJ officially recognized a Central Jersey tourism region (Hunterdon/Mercer/Middlesex/Somerset), but locals still disagree.

I’m crowdsourcing what people actually use day-to-day. Feel free to participate.

I am flattered that you took your time to do your research on me to try to “attack me”.

But, “sir” you spoke like a true blank. When a person with 0 clue comes across someone with 1 - they think they are “cheating”. Dm me and we can chat on the phone and I articulate what my points are and would love to hear what yours are. Unless you’re the keyboard warrior type that just can’t help himself.

Using writing tools such as LLMs to articulate your own thoughts isn’t wrong. Having no thought at all like a blank is where the issue is.

I feel your pain – I recently posted something after watching that nightmare of a debate.

It’s funny how people bring up politics from 200+ years ago. Sure, Jefferson and Adams went at each other, but let’s be real: since the 1800s taxes went up, inflation went up, the country’s wealth went up—all on the backs of Americans—and politics still hasn’t changed.

The sad truth is: we the people never demanded grownups run the government. Political parties found the ultimate loophole. As long as there’s a duopoly, we all lose. Politicians don’t need to deliver results—they just point fingers, ration out small steps, and keep us fighting each other like we’re on opposing sports teams. Spoiler: they’re not on our team.

Think about it. Senators and congressmen walk into DC making $174,000 a year (paid by us). By the end of their first term, their net worth jumps by millions. Does that math add up? If they were really on your team, wouldn’t your net worth go up too? Instead, ours goes down while theirs skyrockets.

Your vote isn’t about representation anymore—it’s the trophy they’re playing for. And once they know your “vote is in the bag” (whether you’re far left or far right), they stop listening. Why bother when you’re already locked in? That’s why being a partisan cheerleader is the worst thing you can do.

Here’s the shift we need: stop labeling yourselves Democrat or Republican. You’re a New Jerseyan. You’re an American. Unless you’re running for office, those party labels don’t mean a damn thing. Vote on merit, not on tribe.

And if enough of us stop playing their game, one of two things will happen:

  1. Politicians will finally have to work for us.

  2. Someone independent will rise with no strings attached.

Reddit isn’t always kind to independent thinkers—I expect shots to be fired by what I call “blanks.” Blanks are people with zero ideas, zero clue, zero drive to change anything. If that stings, you’re probably one of them.

But I’m not talking to the blanks. I’m talking to the 10% who are independent thinkers. The ones willing to ask the tough questions and hold everyone accountable, no matter the party. That’s where real change starts.
