The Radical Independent

The Radical Independent Non-Partisan, Anti-Duopoly, Pro-Independent. Reset the system to 'We the People' Toxic partisan extremism and polarization is destroying the civic landscape.

INTRO: When the two-party duopoly grows more unhinged and divided every year, it’s a radical move to remain Independent. Moderates, centrists, and other independent-minded people... in a hyper-tribal political climate, we're the new radicals! It's time for the "Radical Middle" to step up, let our voices be heard, and bring sanity to our current political dysfunction. Fiercely independent, we belie

ve individual people matter more than political clans. TAGLINE: Non-partisan, pro-independent, anti-duopoly... reset the system to 'we the people'

MISSION: Provide thoughtful ideas and information to stimulate independent thinking and promote the changes necessary to dismantle a corrupt, rigged duopoly and reclaim a properly functioning civic landscape

PAGE GUIDELINES: In a sea of toxic partisan emotionalism, we advocate reasonable and sincere discourse.
1) Discussion is highly encouraged but please keep it respectful. No personal attacks.
2) No spam or self promotion.
3) This page is nonpartisan. Continuous partisan comments (left or right) will be considered trolling. VALUES:
Nonpartisan- free of party/group bias
Pro Independent- critical independent thinking AND supportive of independent voters and candidates

Constitutional Values- maintaining and restoring essential principles
Civil Discourse- promoting sincere, reasonable discussion with empathy, good faith, and tolerance

GOALS: Have a socio-political system that
- has open, free, and competitive elections (where independents and minor parties have a fair chance)
- honors and promotes authentic popular sovereignty, representative democracy, and the consent of the governed
- is structured to promote citizenship, knowledge, problem-solving, and bringing out the best in people

BOOK RECOMMENTION: ‘Defusing American Anger’ by Zachary Elwood

Defusing American Anger is an “everyman’s” book that helps us understand the problem of toxic political polarization and why ALL Americans must try to help reduce it. The problem is real, and its effects are devastating. A key insight is that the rage and contempt on each side serves to bolster very behaviors on the "other side" that they dislike… continuously amplifying the problem.

If you believe the emotional tribalism is getting out of hand, you’ll want to read this book. If you want to understand how we can defuse this enormous problem, you’ll want to read this book. ‘Defusing American Anger’ gives us insights into the issues, but also provides a practical roadmap for navigating our way out of this destructive paradigm. Zach mentioned to me in a recent talk that people can still work for what they believe without promoting the toxicity and contempt that dominates the civil landscape. That’s something we all need to listen to.
