The number of independent voters continues to climb to 45% according to the Gallop polls while Democrats and Republicans continue to drop due to the following;

1. Government corruption – politicians give jobs and contracts based on partisan favoritism as opposed to the best and most competitive. Monopolies continue to grow by buying out and silencing the competition. Cryptocurrency is used to finance illegal activities and corruption causing inflation and censorship of the Public. Campaigns are financed by unscrupulous billionaires which control congress
2. Mass Surveillance – the big tech monopolies continue to spy on and rip off the general public of their intellectual property. AI/5G/Mind reading go unregulated so Big Tech can continue their unconstitutional practices for profit
3. Weaponized Justice department and Judiciary – the DOJ does not enforce justice fairly and attacks critics. Heavy handed enforcement practices by ICE results in attacks on immigrants and citizens alike while Cybercrimes have doubled due to unregulated AI.
4. Dictatorship – the President often uses illegal executive orders to bypass congress and ignores public opinion
5. Tariffs and trade issues continue to raise prices and worsen affordability and affect the economy
6. Unregulated AI continues to threaten jobs and create turmoil. Billionaires and Monopolists talk about the benefits to all while hoarding all of the profits for themselves.
7. Wars in Ukraine and Gaza go on while thousands of civilians die needlessly due to the actions of tyrants

The best way to correct this is for the media to continue to educate the public about these activities and for the Public to Protest, Boycott and Strike (PBS) the people responsible. The independent party could help correct the situation if they were better organized and financed, and had more representatives in Congress.
