I was traditionally a Republican but, when the party went to far I right I became an independent. I am sort of all over the place. I am pro gay marriage, legalizing pot, I am pro choice but, not a fan of abortion. I am also pro death penalty, pro responsible gun ownership not this nonsense with people wandering around open carrying, I am pro strong military but, not wasting money on weapons systems the military does not want but, get built anyway because they are in the somebody's congressional district. I think Congress should have term limits. I am not a fan of illegals but, also very aware of the vital role they play in our economy. I think a person has the right to burn an American flag without the government stopping them but, also reserve the right to punch them in the head. So what am I? I do not know. Neither party really meets my needs. I hate the way they refuse to agree on anything. The GOP has gone out of its mind so I unless they get in together I am not going back. So I am planning on staying indie. Honestly I hate both parties and wish they would go away. I voted for Bush Jr. twice, and Obama twice. I kind of regret that second vote for Bush Jr but, did not see a much better option.

Sounds like a real solid stance.

i like it.

I think we've already allowed that to happen. We're all slaves to a system that benefits the rich and powerful, both politically and economically.

"Solid" as in loyalty to the almighty political party no matter what? That's not the kind of solid I aspire to be.
I prefer "solid" as in reasonable, rational, thoughtful and sensible...
And that's how the OP's friend sounds to me, even though I don't agree with everything they said.

Anyway, I'm sure we will agree to disagree on many points, but the fact remains that something must be done. I think we agree on that.
