The Non-Affiliated, the Un-Affiliated, Americans, Voter/Non-Voter/Citizen has had it!
Are the political parties about to get their comeuppance?
The political parties have been so into their verbal fist-a-cuffs, the foundation of the United States of America is not even a blip on their radar screens as they wind up for sarcasm and mocking taunts at each other. The Founding Fathers in their wisdom did not put political parties into the U.S. Constitution. Do party leaders in any of the political parties in Oregon and Washington State know that?
A Gallup poll published in 2019 showed nationally the non-affiliated, the un-affiliated, the independent voters were 42% of the voters. Democrats 30%. Republicans 26%.
Oregon came in at 38%. Democrats 40%. Republicans 29%. The political parties there go from ignoring them with liberal parties thinking they will just vote liberal to the Republican party being angry at them for leaving the party.
We the people have been tapping our toes, drumming our fingers, and rolling our eyes for some decades now at the shenanigans called state and federal government. Hello?! The election of the outlier named Donald John Trump seemed to have no noticeable paradigm shifts in any of the political parties.
At the Oregon State Fair in Salem in 2018 the state Republican Party booth posted no photograph of the President and First Lady. The Grand Ole Party made a lot of money from presenting as supporting their president, but to some it seemed, many RINOs in the party were biding their time to help bring in Biden?
From a September 2020 FOX Austin news on-line report:
“All you have to do is look the records of the Republican National Convention and see how many North Carolinians, average North Carolinians, were videotaped and talking about how, ‘I used to vote for Democrats and now I’m going with Trump,” In November 2020 President Donald J. Trump won North Carolina.
Democrats canvassing for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 primary in Vancouver, Washington came upon Democratic households who yelled, “I don’t know if I’m voting for Sanders or Trump!”
The one positive that Republican we the people voters had in Trump winning was the internal dynamics of the Republican party were about the voters choosing the primary candidate.
In the Democratic Party their rules and procedures ensure it is the 400+ members of the DNC (Democratic National Committee) who choose who will win. It has been that way since at least 1968 when at the Chicago Convention Hubert Humphrey was “selected”. He had not run in one primary or caucus election.
In 2106 after Sanders capitulated after his 90-minute meeting with Hillary Clinton, Bernie then at the Democratic Convention did not allow for all the voters who voted for him to have their votes counted. Sanders moved to “select” Hillary to run for the presidency. Select is quite different than being nominated to run by we the people.
It is looking like one of the outcomes of the planned-demic is a surge in self-educating.
Shutdown of Constitutional freedoms had many wondering about American freedoms as the likes of both governors Jay Inslee and Kate Brown on whim declared this edict, then that edict, then back to the other edict. Citizens of both states experienced them as their “Gaslighting” governors.
For the rest of 2021, the non-affiliated voters will be looking for the truth of what happened in 2020, what didn’t the media report?
