One is unbelievably worse than the other.
That's the system you live in. That's your reality. No amount of complaining changes that. Voting intelligently over a long period of time is the only way you change that other than organizing a shit ton of people and arming them all and forcibly ending that system. And hoping you already have a new system ready to implement because toppling a government with no plan for afterward usually ends up worse.
Until they gain a bunch of power and influence.
Independents technically could not get as much influence as a real political party. Republicans and Democrats pledge an oath to their political party (technically treason) ... independents do not because they are not a member of a political party.
