Replying to @mcuban
I'm building @OpenPrimaryUSA as a community/network/movement of independent voters. If we can elevate the voice of independent VOTERS, it will open opportunities for independent CANDIDATES. Most people think candidates must come first - I think its voters first.

Nearly HALF of Americans identify as independent. So why do Democrats and Republicans still control who gets to vote in primaries? @OpenPrimaryUSA founder John Opdycke (@jbopdycke) joins the Independent Voter Podcast to challenge the two-party monopoly on elections. 🎙️ ivn.us/podcasts/the-two-part… #OpenPrimaries #IndependentVoters

Our prez/founder @jbopdycke tells @NewsNation ➡️ “@Officiallymcco is just one of…thousands of leaders and organizations grappling with the question of how do we get the voice of the 48 percent, the independent voice, into the political conversation in this country?”

Independents are 45% of the country. We want real change, a voice in shaping the country’s future, and the freedom to do it without being forced into partisan silos. Thats what we’re fighting for at Open Primaries. Click the link below to learn more. openprimaries.org/

Matthew McConaughey said it best: Independents don’t just have leverage, they are the leverage. Congress is more divided than ever before, and with razor-thin margins, a few true Independents can bring power back to the middle — where most Americans live their lives. My daughter Heather and I started the Independent Leadership Council because the two major political parties have lost the plot. To them, it’s not about public service anymore — it’s about party loyalty and pushing extreme agendas that aren’t addressing the problems Americans are facing in their everyday lives. I appreciate @McConaughey speaking up for Independent Americans and bringing attention to the opportunity we have to choose a third path this November. Visit independentleadershipcouncil… to learn more and to declare your independence today. @Independent_LC

AMEN! I’ve been sent this today by so many people. Because they know this is the truth I’ve been focused on for years. And more and more of America is finally waking up. We are the majority. And we’re here. And I hope you will continue to speak out, Mr @McConaughey. You’re the kind of powerful voice we’ve been waiting for. I hope you’ll join me on my show soon. And, that you’ll share the word about our work at Independent Veterans of America to elect truly independent leaders with integrity: IndependentVeteransOfAmerica…. And drive support to all our leaders. And, join our fight to open primairies: LetVetsVote.org. We can win this year. And, it must be said, you could win too. Imagine him running in Texas now—or sometime soon. The future is Indepedent. And the future is now.🚨🇺🇸🐺

We have to change the way we think about elections. Primary elections should be for everyone, not just the most partisan voters. . . #fyp # #democracy #votingrights #politics #independentvoters
