Independents

Independent voters see the upcoming election as a mess and two groups of politicians who put party ahead of country. The see the democrats calling the republicans cultist and the republicans saying the democrats are infected with Trump derangement syndrome. They are tired of personal attacks and negative ads. They want their wages to increase faster than inflation. They want safe neighborhoods. They want a secure border and they want to resolve the war in Ukraine. They want the parties to stop blaming each other and get the job done. They view cultural disputes as luxury items that can be attended to once the basics problems are solved.
