This was a very interesting read and I hope that he does well, though the incumbency advantage is always devastating towards outsiders.
That said, there is one thing that he believes and I'm not sure I agree with: the idea that if enough independent senators are elected that it would break a congressional majority for either party. There's no way there wouldn't be some shuffling of party affiliations: I could easily see Angus King officially flip blue, John fetterman flip red, Bernie Sanders do Bernie Sanders things, and we're right back to where we are.
But I think what matters is getting people who actually know how to run our governments into positions where they can run our governments and it's not a clown show.
