A record 45% of Americans now identify as Independent, the largest voting bloc in the country, signaling deep dissatisfaction with the two-party system. This episode explores why millions are leaving the parties, how gridlock and closed primaries are pushing them away, and the practical reforms Independents are demanding: open primaries, ranked-choice voting, and fair redistricting. If you’re tired of extremes and want facts over spin, this one’s for you.
