Yes, but isn't this independence most efficiently acheived by wresting the existing infrastructure from the hands of the ruling class. Since no third party has been widely successful in the last hundred or so years, these grass roots movements are in the end futile.
Wresting the existing infrastructure? To do this would require seizing the assets of Goldman-Sachs, Exxon, General Motors, etc. since this is ultimately what allows the two parties to rule this country.
