“Independent voters are centrists” is a bullshit notion that MSM needs to stop peddling.
I’m an independent voter. And I care nothing for centrist ideologies.
How about you?

@evoterra Not sure who said that but in the US independent voters/parties are too insignificant because of the first-past-the-post system to be worth reasoning about them. 🤷♂️
FPTP sucks, for sure. We need some form of ranked choice voting, also for sure.
But claiming people like me who do not register with a political party because we’re not politicians are “too insignificant” is misguided.
@evoterra I’d be happily proven wrong, but the fact that independent candidates have no shot past mayorship doesn’t give me a lot of hope.
This isn’t a question about independent candidates. It’s about voters who do not register with a political party.
