Get the independentmug. A term used as camouflage by the timid and cowardly to hide their true political affiliation. Statistically, independents vote more reliably for parties they "lean towards" than actual party members. To call oneself an independent is to scream, "please don't hate me".
That guy calls himself a "democratic-leaning" independent, but he votes for Democrats every single time. Like we can't tell what he truly is; he's an idiot!

Get the independentmug. An American political advocate, comes in three flavors.
1. Someone who subscribes to no actual political party, picking and choosing on each politician or issue's own merits.
2. Someone who subscribes to the specific Independent Party.
3. Someone who is a Democrat, but thinks it makes them seem free-thinking and individual to style themselves as being unbound by party rules.

Get the independentmug. A political term used to describe those people who know not what they believe or are too chickenshit to take a position or pick a side. Also used by these bottom feeders to create an air of self-importance since their vote is "up for grabs" or because they are too thoughtful to make a choice. Typically seen eating cake or pie with one hand while stuffing more into their pants with the other.
That spineless bastard is an independent and the closer we get to the election, the more independent he becomes.
