I've seen this a lot lately and I don't see how people really think an Independent has good shot at anything right now. We are so insanely and annoyingly divided right now that many feel like they absolutely have to be on one side or the other. The thought of a candidate that's not team red or team blue will make most people shit their pants. At this point a vote for an independent is nothing more than just a vote for whoever is your opposition party.

Of course this could easily change if we didn't have first past the polls voting but heaven forbid we even look down that blasphemous road.
