(42,862 posts)... by proclaiming themselves to be "Independents" on their voter registration, then when they actually have a chance to participate, they realize too late that their own short-sighted mistake prevents them from so doing. But rather than accept responsibility and learn from it, they blame others and scream bloody murder about being "disenfranchised".
It's a vicious cycle of self-fulfilling, self-inflicted isolation, perpetual victimhood and conspiracy theories that will forever relegate those voters (and their causes) to the fringe.
Time for a little introspective self reflection, making better choices, a little humility, better candidates, reasonable messages with better appeal, less paranoia, a better perspective, more pragmatism, a willingness to compromise and abandon the all-or-nothing strategy.
Charming. Things like this (and the Russia Today video) are why y'all keep losing.
