Since the 2016 election results, you would think that having trump and his horrid administration in D.C. would be enough to teach anyone a lesson. However, when it comes to independents that sat out or voted third party, this assumption would be incorrect. You see, this group continues to act as self-entitled as they did prior and during the election process. They remain a group that seems to have very little in the way of political knowledge, yet stands on their decision, even though it brought us trump.

Anyone that has worked in a company or even had a long term successful personal relationship knows that compromise is always required. This is how the world works. No one EVER gets everything that they want. Yet the independents that stuck their fingers in their ears continue to “blame” everyone from the Democrats for not having a “good enough” candidate all the way to both parties for creating a conspiracy against them.

There may be some, but very few, that are mature enough to recognize the mistake that they made in sitting out their vote or voting third party; but a majority of them simply don’t seem to be mature enough to recognize that actions have consequences.
