America has more independent voters than Democrats or Republicans. Are they changing American politics?

As a Coloradan, this is fantastic. Colorado Springs has traditionally been a conservative bastion of hate. Even though all the strong conservative leaders have been gay or hire "luggage boys"? It's amazing to me to see that the dependable red is now realizing that the Republicans are too stupid and the Democrats are too naive to actually get dependable votes. We've never been a swing state, but we passed a law saying all our votes go with the majority. That does have an effect in local elections. We are working things out and it's awesome to see how weirdos like Boebert are trying to work the system.
