  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

I think there are flaws somewhere, mainly in the Indy category.

Obama rarely dipped  below 40% approval at any time, and the Dems don't account for that.

Of course the 'cut all their heads' off ISIS types and people who can recite The Communist Manifesto likely approved of him, but that just shows how poorly defined the Independents are.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I do know some former Democrats who became independents.  Seems the dissatisfaction may not be confined to former Republicans.

Maybe not, but I doubt it's because the Democrats aren't Conservative enough. Probably decided to beat the rush to join the CPUSA.
