Unaffiliated Voters are growing as people are upset with each Party. I guess I’ll make the sacrafice & drive down for the breakfast. I’m a Poll Breakfast/Lunch junkie. It’s always a worthwhile presentation, especially when you have a liberal or Progressive as moderator, always like hearing what they have to say
Excited to meet a bunch of folks disaffected by 30 years of abuse of the political process. If only unaffiliated voters ran the boards of election and realigned voting districts.
there are many more dissatisfied conservative voters then there are democratic liberal voters, so those number are reflective of conservative voters mostly. the democratic voters normally fall on the sword for there lying vile party and still do this day. watch for fake news and fake polls which are trying to state it’s both parties, pure nonsense those voters are people such as myself who are sick and tired of lying rino republicans who lie to there constituents whom they hate anyway to get elected every two years and then every six years.
I grew up in the 1950’s down in Kinston. Back then most everyone registered as a Democrat. The Republicans were those people with gravy stained ties and drove English Fords. Later I learned I was really a Republican so switched over. Even later I switched to Unaffiliated so that I could be invited to the rallies which served the best fried chicken.
