It feels good to be an Independent

In fairness, isn't 'the system' gaming the American people?

I know of no other developed democracy that so protects the established interest of just 2 parties at the expense of everyone else.

Its really a system that protects entrenched interests, and their apparatchiks rather than fostering any kind of democratic [[small d) ideals.

Voters should not be 'registered' as any party, ever.

What the hell is the point of going into a voting booth if you've declared your voting intention to the State and your community?

Parties should have members; voters should be citizens [[as in not associated with a party in respect of their voting status).

Ballots should not limit people to 2 parties or allow the election of 'slates'.

Have a look at a ballot from the Canadian 2015 federal election:

That, to me, is choice.

Truthfully, not viable to offer than kind of choice in the U.S. system today.

Yeah, more choice would be good along with no election fraud.
