If I had the option to register as an "Independent Libertarian," then of course I will. I'd rather differentiate myself from other independents. But, there's nothing wrong with being an independent voter. I actually think it's a good idea that people think and stand up for themselves rather than spontaneously supporting a party.

I just don't want people to think that I would support Sanders! He's an independent too! There's no way that I would vote for him!

Wallace, as most anti-black racist politicians was a Democrat, until integration issues made him decide to run as an Independent. --- LateForLunch ( 04/06/2023, 12:21:23 ) ( 368 bytes ) +1

As I recall, he ran as a Democrat and when he won Florida big time and it appeared he was going to win over people, the CIA shot him and disabled him. --- DeeDee ( 04/09/2023, 14:24:17 ) ( 2 bytes ) +2

Wallace ran as an Independent in '68. I am unaware of any strong evidence of the CIA conjecture. --- LateForLunch ( 04/10/2023, 19:36:05 ) ( 258 bytes ) +1

Wallace ran in the Democrat primary and beat Humphrey in Florida and one other state. They had to get him out of there. It's why I worry about Trump. --- DeeDee ( 04/13/2023, 22:00:47 ) ( 2 bytes ) +2
