Everyone is talking about
Independent voters. Everyone.
They’re the largest and
fastest-growing segment of the electorate across the country. Every
pundit and DC prognosticator will tell you independents will determine
who wins in 2024. Yet those same pundits are having a spiritual and
methodological crisis! On Monday they report that independents don’t
actually exist (we’re looking at you, New York Times!) and by Friday they concede that
independents will be kingmakers.
Huh? What gives? Who are
independent voters? Are they figments of our imagination, kingmakers,
both…or something altogether new?
On Tuesday May 7th
at 3pm ET, Open Primaries
President John Opdycke will sit down with longtime Independent
movement leader Jackie Salit to explore these and other
questions.
Salit has been organizing
independent voters and political challenges to the binary status quo
for 40 years. She is a highly respected political innovator and
advocate for the rights of independent voters. She is the President of
IndependentVoting.org, author of Independents Rising and co-author of the Independent Voter; she ran Mike Bloomberg’s
mayoral campaigns on the Independence Line and most recently,
co-founded the Center for an Independent and Sustainable Democracy at
Arizona State University.
She is the expert in all things
Independent and we’re ready to dig into this topic with her, shake
loose old narratives and explore why precisely do independents cause
so much heartburn among the DC crowd.
