Are Americans either Republican or Democrat? “Red” or “blue?” That’s what voting patterns show, but that’s not the whole picture by a long shot. There’s a lot more to our differences than simple binary political party distinctions.
In fact, politically speaking, America is not really a true red/blue society. In 2017, 42 percent of American voters identified themselves as independents. Only 29 percent admitted they were Democrat and even fewer, 27 percent, said they were Republicans.
