Why hasn't the independent party become powerful?
It’s why the Republicans failed for years while courting them so hard.

I dont see independents being timid about their true feelings, I believe it's just that they dont typically get worked up ideologically speaking to the extent that your solid Ds and Rs do.
It's more pragmatism than ideology.

I'll disagree here. I think extremism to any party breeds a vocal majority.
So you end up with a silent majority that just doesn't speak up for a myriad of reasons.
Easy example. The people protesters for chik fil a. Most people love it, but you won't see a counter protest.
