What your data shows is that some Republicans have decided to call themselves "Independents", but I suspect the newest "Independents" keep voting for Republicans.
Uh ... you DO know that nobody here is blind and we can all see the same graph - right? And that no matter how much you blatantly lie about what we all can see, it doesn't actually change what we all can see - right?

So, let me just state the obvious.

Between Kennedy and Obama, republican party affiliation wandered between 21-32%, hitting a low at Ford and Carter, and a high at Reagan through Bush the Deux, but staying within a narrow range of 25 +/-5.

But democrats dropped from a high at Kennedy of 51 to a low at Reagan of 34, then dropping further to 31 during Bush the Elder, from which they never recovered by 2014.

So what does your post have to do with the fact that DEMOCRATS have lost 40% of their support in counties, states, and Congress over the decades?

Thank your Legacy Media for that, Marcos.

They need to go. And you can go right along with them.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Stupid people don't know they're stupid, and they certainly don't realize how obvious it is to others.

Kamala Harris is Joe Biden’s pick for vice president.

Great. Really. Great.

Identity politics and Deep-State-compliant all rolled into one.

Of course! That was the point!

female- check!
black- check!
deep state compliant- check!

It was either her or Susan Rice, but Susan Rice might get tangled up in Russiagate, seeing as she was at that meeting with Obama, Biden, Comey and others talking about how to "get" Trump (as far as anyone can tell).

Blacks are racist. They'll vote for a black person, no matter how much that person might be against their interests. Remember Clarence Thomas? Not that blacks could vote for Justice Thomas, but in the opinion polls at the time they supported his confirmation despite the fact that he was against affirmative action and that he was a sexual harasser.

*****

One thing I heard discussed was that with mail-in voting, many people will be able to vote before the debates, making Biden's debate performance irrelevant.

Your reference says that "Currently, 39% Americans identify as independents, 32% as Democrats and 23% as Republicans." When the day comes that 39% of Congress are members of neither the Democratic Party nor the GOP, then your argument will have some weight. But so long as those "Independents" voters aren't electing "Independent" politicians, those "Independents" might just as well not vote. Or maybe those "Independent" voters are really dizzy, dithering nincompoops who actually vote for Democrats and Republicans.

You are a parody of yourself.

You know that, right?
