For Independent U.S. Senate candidate Seth Bodnar, the numbers don't add up. Nearly 90% of Americans disapprove of Congress, yet more than 90% of incumbents keep getting reelected. How can we hold politicians accountable when the system keeps protecting them?

In the final installment of U.S. Politics Are Broken and How to Fix It, we explore how changing election rules, increasing competition, and giving voters meaningful choices can build a government that works for the people, not just political parties.

Independent U.S. Senate candidate Seth Bodnar calls out the absurdity of Republican Rep. Thomas Massie facing backlash from his own party for demanding the release of the Epstein files. We've reached a troubling point when demanding transparency and accountability can put your political career at risk.

We’re building something bigger than either political party.
Mark, you are exactly right, I came to the same conclusion. This is why we launched the Independent Leadership Council to give leaders the support to put country before party. @Independent_LC

We agree with @mcuban on this. Our movement is just getting started, and the momentum is building. Together, we can change American politics.
I’m against all of these. The new force in politics and elections is independents. The fact independents are NOT an organized party, means we can individually do what we think is right, without regard to party politics. That is a force we have not seen before. And it is only growing as we all become increasingly disgusted by party politics. Pushing these would backfire on Democrats.

What @adam_brandon points out is something we've been saying for a long time: one Independent victory could change everything. With Independent U.S. Senate candidate Seth Bodnar polling ahead in Montana's three-way race, we're getting a glimpse of what could happen when candidates realize they don't need either major party to compete.

Independent U.S. Senate candidate Seth Bodnar didn't wake up this morning to serve billionaires. He woke up to serve us. Protecting our public lands means putting the interests of everyday Americans ahead of wealthy special interests.

56% of Gen Z adults identify as Independents, compared to just 33% of baby boomers. We're witnessing a generational shift in political identity, and sooner or later, our political system will have to catch up.

Artificial intelligence has developed so fast, we haven't taken the time to ask ourselves important questions about this technology. Who's held accountable and responsible when AI goes rogue? How can it improve our quality of life, and how could it damage society? These are real issues that Congress should be taking up as AI continues to develop faster than we can understand it.

Independent U.S. Senate candidate Seth Bodnar reminds us of a time when America's leaders put the country ahead of political parties. When the Soviets launched Sputnik, we came together to compete and win. Today, we're more focused on who gets the credit or blame than actually solving problems.

Why should political parties decide which candidates we get to vote for? In Part 6 of U.S. Politics Is Broken and How to Fix It, we're looking at how closed primaries shut Independent voters out of consequential elections and why opening our primaries matters.

Election Night 2026 is almost here. United Independents is hosting eight hours of free election coverage on November 3, including national results, Independent races to watch, and conversations with political leaders from across the spectrum. We hope you'll tune in: election2026.live/

Denzel Washington reminds us that nothing worthwhile comes without risk. The Milwaukee Brewers just won their first World Series, and Independent U.S. Senate candidate Seth Bodnar is taking his own chance at making history. We can't achieve something different without being willing to take risks.

We need more competition in our elections, not fewer voters. Closed primaries shut Independent voters out of choosing candidates who may eventually represent us all. @Sen_JoeManchin explains why opening primaries would give us stronger candidates with character and integrity, and he's right.

What @adam_brandon describes should concern us all. When threats become a normal part of politics, the loudest and most extreme voices are the ones left standing. Electing more Independents could help break that cycle and make room for people who actually want to solve problems.

We've allowed politicians to draw congressional districts that protect their own seats instead of giving voters a real choice. Independent U.S. Senate candidate Seth Bodnar is right to question a system where party loyalty matters more than accountability to the American people.

We can disagree on plenty of political issues, but banning congressional stock trading, establishing term limits, and ending partisan gerrymandering shouldn't be among them. Independent U.S. Senate candidate Seth Bodnar is putting common-sense reforms on the table that both parties have avoided for too long.

Independent U.S. Senate candidate Seth Bodnar said it perfectly. When we're paying more at the pump for a war Congress never authorized, our elected officials should be demanding answers, not blindly supporting the president.

When both political parties have failed to deliver for our country, we shouldn't be surprised that an Independent is leading the polls. In Montana, Independent U.S. Senate candidate Seth Bodnar proves that voters are willing to look beyond the two-party system.

Will we control AI before AI controls us? Where do we put the guardrails? I enjoyed a wide-ranging conversation with leading experts on this topic on @PBS BREAKING the DEADLOCK: AI: Who's In Control? Watch the full episode: pbs.org/video/breaking-the-d… #DeadlockPBS
