re: Why hasn't the independent party become powerful?

Very few people are “moderates”. Most “moderates” and “independents” are really just people afraid to tell you what they really think.

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.
