I think the problem we are facing is not one of isolation. We are facing an identity crisis as we realize political groups do not represent, nor want to represent, our demographic. Which is a great thing initially as it's lead many of us to realize the true nature of our political system, and open doorways that allow us to use skepticism and reasoning to choose specific items from either party.
The bad thing is, nobody represents us, and we're disorganized as a result. Our "constituency" is scattered among all states with no means to gain consensus locally while we work three jobs or rot in jails and prisons.
The best we can do is discuss and continue to seek reason and skepticism in our politics. No matter how much that pisses off people who pick parties like sports teams. Remaining intellectually independent is the most important thing anyone can possibly do.
