It seems a lot of "Independents" are just not interested in supporting either party, which is a strange justification for the term "Independent". "Inactive" would be a more appropriate term, because when people get "disgusted with the whole mess", they respond by not bothering to vote, which is obviously self-defeating. Informing themselves adequately to make an informed choice between candidates, or between parties, on the other hand ... "well, it's like work, man, and besides what difference would it make" ?
