Almost 50% of Americans now identify as Independent—yet both parties have toxic brands controlled by special interests and ideological extremes. Election after election, we’re fed unrealistic "vote for free stuff!" promises and forced to hold our noses and vote against the party we dislike more.
Both parties have ways to survey their members and surface their priorities, but Independents have had no similar voice—until now. Talk or text with Indy, our curious Socratic AI facilitator, so we can find 65–70% common-sense consensus and make sure we have better options for 2028.
Nearly half of American voters identify as Independent—larger than either party—yet we lack a shared process to pool our priorities and make candidates listen.
Special interests and primary extremes hijack both parties, leaving everyday voters exhausted by polarization, pandering, and broken promises.
Instead of rigid party dogma, Indy listens to your nuance and trade-offs to discover the practical, common-sense solutions two-thirds of Americans actually support.
“Independent does not mean you're middle of the road—Independent is the original road... Let's get some Independents into the House and the Senate. Just a small group of them in Congress becomes the swing vote—a permanent check in Congress where the extreme stuff can't pay the toll.”
In his recent inspiring video message, Matthew McConaughey laid out why voting and organizing as Independents isn't "throwing away your vote"—it's the single fastest way to create a decisive fulcrum in Congress and force real accountability heading into 2028.
See why a pivotal bloc of Independent voters and representatives can break the two-party gridlock.
▶ Watch the Reel on InstagramPolitical parties use push-polls to manipulate you. Indy uses adaptive Socratic conversation to understand how you actually think, where you see trade-offs, and where we can unite.
Call or text 843-VOTE-USA whenever it's convenient—talk for 2 minutes or 20 minutes about why both parties frustrate you, why you feel forced to hold your nose, and what issue matters most to you.
Indy asks thoughtful, curious follow-up questions to unpack real-world trade-offs—moving past politician pandering ("vote for free stuff!") to capture your honest, nuanced position.
At the end of your call, share your 5-digit ZIP code (and your first name if you call back) so we can map where 65–70% consensus is building in your area and text you updates as our movement grows.
Every conversation follows your lead. Here are some of the core questions Indy is curious to hear your take on:
Unlike the two parties, we don't hand down commandments from party headquarters. Below are 8 initial discussion proposals we are testing with callers to see where 65–70% consensus emerges—and where voters have a better solution.
End taxpayer-funded closed primaries that let tiny ideological extremes pick our candidates, and stop the two parties from rigging ballot-access rules against Independents.
Prohibit members of Congress and their spouses from trading individual stocks while in office, and enact reasonable term limits so career politicians can't entrench themselves.
Both parties buy votes with unfunded promises that drive inflation and a $35+ trillion debt. Require honest pay-fors and bipartisan budget guardrails.
Foreign adversaries use bot farms and algorithms to pit Americans against each other. Require social platforms to verify and expose foreign state-backed manipulation.
Enforce strict operational control and the rule of law at the border, paired with a streamlined, responsive legal immigration system for workers our economy needs.
Require hospitals, insurers, and drug middlemen (PBMs) to publish real, binding upfront prices so patients and employers aren't ambushed by hidden billing monopolies.
Build a decisive Congressional swing bloc by recruiting and supporting high-character, independent-minded problem solvers—whether they run as Independent, Republican, or Democrat.
Cut multi-year permitting red tape for nuclear, natural gas, geothermal, and renewables so families have lower utility bills and America has a reliable power grid.
