    The voters for the two major parties decide every election

    Fence sitters decide nothing

    Naw; it's always independent types who make the ultimate non-choice between two crappy candidates supported by the oligarchy & with no interest in serving the People.

    But the NRP member who committed this false flag event must be brought to justice.

    Because if a liberal did this, they would have missed the window & shot themselves in the leg.

    That's PROOF.

    I wonder who 'big govt' is going to shoot in the face when 'push comes to shove'?

    Not if your sense of manliness is predicated on something like holding a shotgun in a manly way.

    Sometimes independent candidates throw an election by taking votes away from someone else

    But mostly independents just want to not be blamed for the person in power

    They like to attack everyone else too much and not share any blame themselves

    Not necessarily untrue, though no candidate can "throw" an election; all have equal right to seek office.

    I expect they'd begin with the 72% which considers big govt the biggest threat.

    Government violence can not sustain a government against the real power of supermajority opposition.

    "Whoever looked for some kind of sense in the records of the past was almost bound to look upon violence as a marginal phenomenon. When Clausewitz calls war “the continuation of politics with other means,” or Engels defines violence as the accelerator of economic development,5 the emphasis is on political or economic continuity, on continuing a process which is determined by what preceded violent action. Hence, students of international relations have held until very recently that “it was a maxim that a military resolution in discord with the deeper cultural sources of national power could not be stable,” or that, in Engels’s words, “wherever the power structure of a country contradicts its economic development” political power with its means of violence will suffer defeat.6"

    Hogs. And you need high capacity magazine. Maybe you should stick to hunting chickens.

    They breed like rabbits and get up to 500 lbs. There are estimated to be 1.5 million running wild and doing damage in Texas alone. My niece totaled her pickup running into a 300 lb hog. They are such a problem that they are hunted year round with no license required.

    The most informed people, those who don't cowtow to party BS, make the decisions on who is elected.
    Each party only has maybe 35%, so that leaves 30% to sway one way or the other.

    Partisan hacks don't know the real issues, they only know what their party tells them. They are the most uniformed voters in the country.

    Attacking is pointless. Another reasons partisans destroy the country. Partisans see the other party as enemies. Not FELLOW AMERICANs. With a difference of opinion.
    Partisans only seek to divide. What happens when a nation is divided?
    You are witnessing it.
    Partisans are destroying the country from within.

    Have you run into wild hogs before? They are some big and unpredictable bastards. They'll get your blood racing when you here them charging towards you through the brush. I ran into some while training up in PTA on the big island in Hawaii. They had one that sat in front of the PX and soldiers would feed it. That thing was a monster, getting fat and lazy, lol.

    People who vote for third party 1% losers have no say in who the next president is

    The tweener/fence sitters are the bitterest of all

    They claim to hate everyone - even each other in some cases - but usually lean left nevertheless

    Independents have been deciding who wins elections at least since 2014. Especially if you count independent Republicans and independent Democrats, as opposed to the party girls and boys. Hence Trump.

    “PRINCETON, NJ -- Forty-two percent of Americans, on average, identified as political independents in 2013, the highest Gallup has measured since it began conducting interviews by telephone 25 years ago. Meanwhile, Republican identification fell to 25%, the lowest over that time span. At 31%, Democratic identification is unchanged from the last four years but down from 36% in 2008.”

    GALLUP, Record-High 42% of Americans Identify as Independents, Republican identification lowest in at least 25 years, by Jeffrey M. Jones, January 8, 2014.

    If we don't live in a swing state, we have no say anyway. Might as well vote our conscience.

    What you think on the topic doesn't matter, and making up motivations to try to get around honest discussion is trolling, not debate.

    I have voted 3rd party. But only in the prez election. But not always. For most times there isn't anyone worth voting for All the good ones get primaried out.
    For state and local, never.
    But most don't vote 3rd party and they do sway who gets elected. There isn't enough hacks to elect their own party. Thank goodness.
    As I said, partisans are the most uninformed voter out there.

    LOL. Says the guy who hates everything not RW. Independants will vote either party or a 3rd party if the hacks put up crap like 2016.
    So uniformed partisan hacks have no say in who gets elected, they don't hold enough members anymore.
    People are getting fed up with the haters each side has.

    Yep, I knew I was being generous at 35%. I had heard, but couldn't remember where, the most people ever have no party ID. 40%.
    Which means each party only has 30% voters. The parties are becoming the minority.
    And they are the most uniformed for they only listen to 1 side of everything and dismiss and hate everything from the other party.
