Summary
Every single week, 10,000 Americans change their voter registration from Republican or Democrat to independent — what Christopher Life calls "the new Declaration of Independence." Twenty years ago, 30% of Americans identified as independent; today it's pushing 49%, roughly 100 million people — bigger than either party — and among Gen Z it's nearly 60%. So why do independents never win? Christopher joins Kim to lay out the answer: stop building third parties that subdivide the movement, and start building the infrastructure — a national convention, a "corruption-free" certification for candidates (think organic labeling, but for politicians), coordinated nomination standards, and the first-ever super PAC dedicated to independents. They cover why the Founders warned against parties, the Bernie lesson, the Tucker Carlson and Thomas Massie question, and the first official slate of five federal independent candidates dropping this midterm cycle. Christopher Life is the Founder of United Independents and the Independent National Convention — the national gathering for the independent movement, returning September 23–25 in Washington, D.C. for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
