Both Parties and the Media Screwed Us – Time to Go Independent

Here we are again, folks, fresh off another election where America’s favorite pastime wasn’t baseball—it was getting played. Democrats, Republicans, the media—all of them failed you. We just watched an election where the media normalized a lying madman, and both parties spent billions convincing you they actually care. Meanwhile, regular folks are out here scraping by, paycheck to paycheck, with less than two grand in the bank. Two grand! That’s not a safety net—that’s a weekend emergency away from financial ruin.

The Two-Party Disaster

Let’s be honest. The two-party system is a scam. The Democrats want you to believe they’re the saviors of democracy while they shake hands with corporate America in the back room. And the Republicans? They love to scream about freedom, but it’s only the kind of freedom that lets billionaires hoard yachts while you’re Googling how to fix a flat tire with duct tape. Neither party is fighting for you—they’re fighting over who gets the best seat at the donor banquet.

And the media? Oh, don’t even get me started. They treat elections like a reality show, propping up whichever clown brings the most clicks. They gave a lying, unhinged madman center stage, pretended it was journalism, and then turned around and told you it was your fault for being “divided.” Divided? We’re not divided; we’re broke, tired, and drowning while they rake in ad revenue.

Why Go Independent?

You know what independents don’t have? Party overlords and billion-dollar donors calling the shots. They’re not locked into the red-vs.-blue WWE match that leaves us stuck in the middle with no healthcare, rising rents, and credit card debt out the wazoo. Independents work for the people, not the machine.

And let’s face it—if you’re living paycheck to paycheck, with less than two grand in the bank, how much worse could an independent do? At least they’re not beholden to Wall Street or political consultants who only care about winning the next news cycle.

Midterms: Your Chance to Flip the Script

The midterms are coming, and this is your chance to break the cycle. You don’t have to keep voting for two parties that treat you like an ATM. Elect independents—people who aren’t afraid to call out both sides and actually focus on solutions.

Look, Democrats and Republicans have had decades to fix this mess, and what do we have to show for it? A rigged system, a broken middle class, and the same bad actors recycled every election. It’s time to stop playing along. The media won’t tell you this because they’re too busy hyping the next controversy, but you have the power to send a message: No more of the same.

Elect independents in the midterms. Shake up the system. The worst that could happen? We actually get some politicians who remember who they’re supposed to work for—you.
