independent swing voters or whatever the heck they want to be. IM old enough to remember before the days of identity politics - when a certain no. of voters voted for purely pragmatic reasons like pulling the pendulum back to center. Or to maintain checks and balances in govt.

Its a good thing that at least some are waking up and seeing this mess for what it is. As Ive been telling my tea party sibs, you don't have to like democrats to want a functioning two party system where one serves as checks and balances to the other.
