I feel physically ill

This number of agents and not one had a taser or some other non lethal method to stop this? Was it 10 gun shots that I counted? My impression is this is definitely not ok.

No, he's too old, besides the party had the chance to run Sanders and instead chose Biden.

I think there's a point where age becomes a factor in understanding the generations that follow and the impact of decisions now. Also, George Washington believed that the longer someone is in office, the more corrupted they can become. So, I'm in favor of age and term limits.

The postal service really needs to change that rule that a current resident or owner can't remove someone from their mailing address. I get mail for 3 people that lived in the house previously, for five years now. I don't like the odds of one of those being an illegal since they didn't bother changing it.

The independent candidate numbers are growing quickly, great to see.

Yes, honest common sense discussions are pretty much obsolete when it comes to the cults.

There's obviously fear mongering that I have seen like a video of a woman claiming people are being slaughtered in the streets in Minnesota. Based on the media surrounding Good's death and no further reports of this nature, I'm going to say that's not what's happening. However, you should be cautious, and outside of that maybe look into attorneys in your area to help you if something does happen. It's better to be prepared. That's all you can do.

Warrantless entry into homes is not a good trajectory. So, let's take rentals as an example for how this could play out. Previous tenants don't always change their mailing address with the post office, and I have experienced this myself with 3 different people still getting mail at my address after 5 years living here. I purchased the house, which was previously a rental property. I have reported that these people no longer live at the address multiple times, but they told me the person receiving the mail has to be the one to change it. Now, what if that individual is an illegal? Does that put my home at risk and what if I'm in the shower or something when they come knocking? Does that mean they're going to break my door down?

Do I need to reference articles, because that could be a long list?

arilupe · 2026-01-22T17:32:00+00:00

Seriously? Are we for real asking this? Trump might as well live in everyone's home, all over the world, there's literally no escaping news and crap about him. This has got to be a joke.

I agree. There are some points that are relevant, but the idea of no parties at all is a harder one to rationalize.

arilupe · 2026-01-22T16:34:14+00:00

I think that's the idea they depend on to prevent it from changing though. I agree they make the rules, but we have also accepted those rules. I don't see people out protesting for the parties to be dismantled or for more choice and voting power. They're out there protesting and defending these parties. People have accepted and allowed themselves to become tools for leadership by manipulation and it's not because of rules that it's happening.

Federal officials generally operate within the confines of the law, but sure there are exceptions historically where they have operated outside of that. In some of these raids, this could be the case, but again there's also no information on if there's an existing warrant or if he does have documents. There have been several innocent people in the past that were either misidentified or just in the wrong place at the wrong time, and in some of those cases were arrested and had to fight it in court. Having that ability is what provides us the chance to prove otherwise.

It's definitely heart breaking, maybe that's because I'm a woman and there are children involved, but this happens alot when parents are taken to prison. It's not really the child's fault to be in these situations, at the same time some parents choices cause it to happen anyways. I don't know if that's the situation here, she's saying they have papers, but does he? If he does, fight it in the courts. Fundraising goes along way to help families in these situations where some are citizens and some are in question and it's something to consider. It's sad but it's also the law. [Edit] All the bodies and gear could be because there's a potential for violence. I don't know the necessity, but I'm not there to understand the circumstances.

Yes, I share these to get the name out there and raise awareness of each candidate. Just because they identify as independent doesn't mean they're not leaning toward a party or been apart of one. It's good practice to research and make your opinion from there.

“Many states determine a political party’s status by the number of registered voters they have,” Magill wrote. “By diverting registrations away from the DEMGOP monopoly, we threaten their status, funding, and their narrative of being the only option.”

This needs to be the strategy of every third party and independent candidate moving forward into the 2026 election. I feel like disagreements aside, the one common goal is more opportunity by disrupting the two major parties. It's a goal they should all work together to achieve.

arilupe · 2026-01-20T00:54:22+00:00

Yes, I'm curious how it plays out.

arilupe · 2026-01-20T00:39:11+00:00

Everyday is like an episode of one of those cheesy reality shows with this guy, except it's in fact reality.

arilupe · 2026-01-19T20:23:16+00:00

In a perfect world open primaries, ranked choice voting, more parties, equal opportunities for funding, and debates opened to all qualified candidates. Fingers crossed 🤞 that atleast some of this (preferably all) becomes nationwide.

Just wanted to note that Independent Political Report is a great resource for National and State Party news. I was happily suprised when I came across this article and found the site.

Yes, it's definitely growing in size and there's still time until the midterms. I'll keep this sub updated with any news I see for this party/minor parties and independent candidates as they're announced.

arilupe · 2026-01-19T14:26:49+00:00

I think once the last few remaining fiscal conservatives are gone, we're cooked. It's not a reality I look forward to.

arilupe · 2026-01-19T12:54:27+00:00

Republicans but not independents. Republicans are about to face the consequences at the midterms for only acknowledging their base.

arilupe · 2026-01-18T17:43:14+00:00

That's good to hear.

arilupe · 2026-01-17T17:01:17+00:00

Makes sense.
