How To Break Ranks And Escape The Democrats' Plantation

 Independents come in two primary political colors: embarrassed Democrats and embarrassed Republicans.

In the 2020 presidential election and the 2022 midterms, dissatisfied Republicans and their adjacent independent cohort crossed partisan lines and contributed to the Democratic win.

Dissatisfied Democrats and adjacent independents have not reciprocated.

Ruy Teixeira over at the Liberal Patriot- a must read on Substack - has captured the growing divide within the Democratic and adjacent independent ranks.

In contrast to dissatisfied Republicans and adjacent independents, dissatisfied Democrats and adjacent independents have shown a structural inability to cross the political picket line and send a clear "Knock-it-off" message at the polling both.

Dissatisfied Democratic men - or so the polling suggests.
