Truest statement of the week

 Granted, mainstream media propaganda still makes the Democrats and Republicans seem to include all voters. In reality, Democrats and Republicans are down to less than a fourth of the U.S. voters each. They are already minority parties. By 2020, according to Gallup polls, over half the voters in the United States will be registered Independent, not a party but a nonpartisan stance. The corporate media scramble to explain this, telling us that it “means nothing” because given only two choices in elections Independents lean more toward whichever party they left than the other one. However, 58% of US voters say that they want a new party, a third alternative. Among Independents, half the nation, that desire for a new party jumps to 71%.
