I wouldn't call this woman "politically homeless," she's just like at least 30% of all American voters, she's not affiliated with a party or philosophy. She seems to be able to think for herself. One comment - this crap about politicians being "for me" is so much bullshit. There is NOTHING In the Constitution requiring any elected official to be "for" anyone or anything. Congressmen and women are supposed to REPRESENT their constituents and in the case of Senators, their state. In today;s world, they represent political parties, which are the real problem. Presidents are supposed to preside over the Executive Branch. I don't give a flying flip what any politician does for me, I just want people in office who will carry out their Constitutional responsibilities instead of catering to a party or belief.

I was so disillusioned during the 2016 election. I held my nose and voted for Hillary then was grateful she didn’t win. Would we have been better off? There’s no way to know. I didn’t vote for Trump in 2020 either even though I had a much more favorable opinion of him by then, and the more I see Biden, the more I prefer Trump. I feel the plebs have been deliberately distracted with national politics when we should be focused on our local communities and fighting tooth and nail against the growth of the federal government and their “bribes,” ie federal grants, which give them the excuse to keep taxing us and expanding the bureaucracy. It’s virtually impossible to hold someone accountable for bad policies. I don’t see how any single person has the ability to wrestle with these issues considering the immense size and diversity of our country. Btw, I still won’t vote for Trump if he wins the nomination.
