It would have probably never occurred to most politicos that the Democratic Party may be in peril of losing the votes of black women, who make up one of its most loyal and politically active voting blocs. But the slow-motion implosion of both major political parties we are observing in real time on social media may also include an exodus of black women from the party of Jefferson. This weekend, Saira Rao, Democratic Party supporter, social justice activist, and co-founder of In This Together Me

I have a confession: I was born an independent, and I'm pretty sure the majority of Americans were too. Whether it is here in the United States or over in Germany and Britain, there have always been and always will be partisans. But based on voter registrations and the general frustration toward Washington and our state houses, more and more voters are beginning to understand what being an "independent" is all about. There was a time when I was a member of a party. When I first registered to v

Donald Trump said that elections are rigged. And he was right. He still is. But, for all his “drain the swamp” rhetoric, there is a major area of institutional corruption that he and his “Democratic” foes are in perfect partnership: rigging elections so voters only have two meaningful choices. If we were talking about the business of elections, and elections are a multi-billion dollar industry, it goes without saying that the Republican and Democratic Parties have colluded closely for so many

Voter distaste for both the Democratic Party and GOP seems to be at an all-time high. But candidate success outside the major parties remains elusive in Washington.

On the surface, it often seems like our existing two-party dominated system is somehow the way our country is “meant to be” and nothing could change that regardless of how dysfunctional things become. But in poll after poll and in countless other ways, the American people are saying loudly and clearly that the major political parties and their leaders are failing the country and the state. That is why more and more people today identify as independents rather than as Republicans or Democrats.

The time for independent leaders to change our political system for the better is here. Dissatisfaction with dysfunctional governance is at an all-time high in Colorado, and voters are leaving both major parties in record numbers.  According to a recent report by the Centrist Project Institute, 53% of voters believe both parties are not working together well to solve problems facing Colorado, and 85% of voters say they are open to supporting independent candidates.That statistic speaks volumes,

In fact, the number one reason given for failure to participate in the voting process, even more than time constraints, was the fact that neither of the choices in the
