Americans from diverse backgrounds Americans from diverse backgrounds

Two bad options
is not a choice.

Over 100 million Americans have walked away from both parties.

You are not alone

45%

of Americans consider themselves independent.

That's a record high, and it's more than call themselves Republican or Democrat. Each legacy party sits at 27%. We are not the fringe. We are the largest voting bloc in the country.

Gallup, party identification, 2025 annual average.

The vanishing majority: what Americans call themselves versus how they voted In 2025, 45 percent of U.S. adults identified as political independents, with Republicans and Democrats at 27 percent each. In the 2024 presidential election, 49.8 percent of votes went to the Republican candidate, 48.3 percent to the Democrat, and 2.1 percent to third-party and independent candidates. The Vanishing Majority HOW AMERICANS IDENTIFY INDEPENDENT 45% REPUBLICAN 27% DEMOCRAT 27% HOW AMERICANS ACTUALLY VOTE REPUBLICAN 49.8% DEMOCRAT 48.3% INDEPENDENT 2.1% donewiththem.org

But if we’re the majority, how come nothing changes?

Voting Republican or Democrat means voting Republican and Democrat.

Republicans and Democrats may hate each other on camera, but they hate us on the ballot. They spend millions in lawfare every election cycle to keep third parties and independents out of the race. Why? Because they’re run by the same corporate donors, and they’ll do anything to keep you from voting Independent.

Three myths keep us trapped. We bust all three.

myth one

“Independent voters are spoilers.”

The biggest lie the two-party system tells you: "If you vote Independent, you're just handing your vote to the other guy."

The myth scares you into the lesser evil every single time.

So we built the thing that breaks it: DWT VoterMatch.

  • You tell us who you usually voted for. Republican or Democrat.

  • We spend marketing dollars finding your opposite. If your state has more former Democrats taking the pledge, we go recruit Republicans. If more former Republicans, we go recruit Democrats.

  • Both legacy parties lose one. Independents gain two. Neither side gains an advantage. Both lose ground.

You are not a spoiler.
You’re the solution.

We'll only get the candidates we want when we stop voting for the ones we don’t.

myth two

"One side would fix it if they had total control."

They need you to believe that half the country is your enemy. It's the most profitable lie in American politics.

So they pick the fights for us. They take fringe issues and blow them up online and in the media until they cost people their friends and their families.

But we actually agree on most issues. Drug prices. Insurance premiums. Housing. College. Wages. Forever wars. Most of this country wants those fixed, whichever party they vote for.

So why doesn't any of it move? Money.

Big Pharma donates millions to both. Oil and gas donates millions to both. Big Ag, Defense contractors, Wall Street ... millions to both.

Both parties, every cycle.

They're not betting on the outcome. They've already bought off both parties.

Different jerseys. Same results.

They need us divided.
But we're all Americans.

Stop identifying as an Independent and start voting like one.

myth three

"My vote hurts the other side."

For 173 years, every president has been a Republican or a Democrat.

The system works exactly as built: Whoever's in power makes money on the inside, through the access that comes with governing. Whoever's out of power makes their money on you, selling fear of the party in office. Then they switch.

After Trump lost in 2020, Republicans raised $207.5 million in three weeks.

After Democrats lost in 2024, they raised nearly $1.8 billion the following year.

Vote for one, you raise money for the other.
Losing isn't a setback. It's a revenue stream.

They’re not enemies. They’re business partners.

The only vote that breaks the cycle is
the one that leaves it.

One vote won't change the world. A million pledges will.
