🗳 The Independent Strategy to Reshape the U.S. Senate: Can Independents Break the Two-Party System?

🎙️ Political Trade Secrets: Can Independents Break the Two-Party System? Join host Dustin Olson as he talks with Todd Achilles—Army veteran, former Idaho state legislator, and Independent U.S. Senate candidate—for a candid conversation on the growing Independent movement and what it might take to break the two-party gridlock in Washington. From the incentives shaping the political system to the growing overlap between unlikely political allies on issues like corporate concentration, we pull back the curtain on why voters may be open to Independents—and why the system itself fights to keep them from even competing. The episode explores: 💡 What it takes to build a campaign without traditional party infrastructure 💡 How third-party and Independent movements are trying to give voters another option 💡 Whether Independents can act as a balancing force—or fulcrum—in a partisan Congress 🔹 Join our Polling Club for exclusive insights into public opinion: PollingClub.com 👉 LIKE, FOLLOW &
