As a lawyer in private practice for approaching 15 years and working my way through court rooms and backrooms all across the United States, I have become all too familiar with the notion of "politics as usual.” "Politics as usual" nowadays means our “elected” and appointed leaders fail in every regard to safeguard the interests of their constituents and are beholden to their corporate and special interest masters.
My political profile is that of the vast majority of Americans. I am a mixed bag politically-- leaning left on many issues, leaning right on many issues, and leaning neither way on many others. I do not believe in a two party system of politics. I do not believe in a multi-party system of politics. Like George Washington, I believe in a system with no political parties where politicians are held accountable to their core philosophies and the needs of their constituents, unfettered and un-yoked by a party system that requires loyalty to party before loyalty to country.
