The Independents In Our American Congress

We have only a handful of Independents in our Congress, but I would like them to drive the 2016 debating, along with Elizabeth Warren.
Republicans are hopelessly non-progressive.
And Democrats are becoming increaslingly conservative.
Barbara Boxer suggested truly vile punitive measures be floated to discourage voter fraud.
So making sentencing more assaultive will discourage voters even more than new and ever-changing
I.D. laws.
We already have voting laws.
She suggested mandatory jail time and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines.
Thinking the people who suggest this increasingly punitive nonsense are supposedly on the side of voters means people could believe actual admitted conservatives would suggest a firing squad for inappropriate voter behavior. In that sort of climate, why would an average voter even take a chance on a false accusation, let alone a false conviction!
The line between Democrats and Republicans is getting fuzzier by the moment.
