Deep dives
The Desire for Political Independence
Many individuals express a strong desire to be politically independent, rejecting traditional party affiliations. This independence often stems from a reluctance to align with party ideologies or to wear the 'team's colors,' instead preferring to hold personal beliefs without being categorized. This mindset leads to a political landscape that feels more like a contest of vibes and energy rather than one rooted in concrete policies. As a result, the nuances of independent thought are often overlooked, creating a challenge for those seeking to form a cohesive independent movement.
