No music. No sound effects. No bullshit.

This is just me, Nelson N. Alers, talking to you like we're sitting in my F250 at a truck stop, killing time before the next load. I'm an independent candidate for President of the United States. Yeah, I know. Crazy, right? But hear me out.

I was born in Aguada, Puerto Rico—small town, big heart. Dad was a police detective. Mom was a psychologist and social worker. I joined the Army at 17. Did my time. Nothing fancy. I'm not gonna polish my service record to sound like Rambo just to get clicks. I served. You served. We served. That's enough.

After that, I studied Psychology and Philosophy at Inter American University. Read history. Read mythology. Read Washington's Farewell Address—and that's where it clicked. That old man warned us. He said parties would tear this country apart. And we ignored him. Now we're paying the price.

I drive a hotshot rig now—gooseneck trailer, cargo that can't wait. I've seen the back roads, the small towns, the forgotten corners of this country. Met the most beautiful, gritty, real people you could imagine. And you know what? We all want the same damn thing: a government that works for us, not for their billionaire buddies or foreign bank accounts.

I was Republican. Then I was Democrat. Then I realized they're both playing the same game. They don't want unity—they want division, because divided people don't fight back. Meanwhile, you and I pay 20% in taxes, and billionaires pay 6%. Six. Percent.

This isn't a donation pitch. I'm broke as fuck, remember? This is a conversation. A call to a peaceful revolution—not with guns, but with ballots, with voices, with refusing to play their game anymore.

If you're tired of being screwed by both sides, if you love this country enough to save it from the empires of red and blue, then listen. Share this. Follow this. Tell your friends. Tell your enemies. Tell your dog.

Because the future the Founders dreamed of? It's still possible. But not if we keep feeding the machine.

This is just a conversation between me—Nelson N. Alers—and you. Independent candidate for President. Born in Aguada, Puerto Rico. Army veteran. Psychology and Philosophy grad. Hotshot truck driver. And a guy who's finally had enough.

If you want polished, go listen to the other 47,000 political podcasts. If you want real, stick around.

Join me. Or don't. But at least think about it.

In this no-music, no-fluff episode, independent presidential candidate Nelson N. Alers sits down—just him, a microphone, and you—to cut through the bipartisan bullshit about China.

Both parties want you terrified. Both parties want you hateful. But why? Nelson's been to China. He's seen the bullet trains, the modern cities, the low crime, the advanced electric vehicles, and the small-business support that puts America to shame. Meanwhile, the U.S. spends more on defense than the next ten nations combined—while our homeless are criminalized, our healthcare is a luxury, and our working families are squeezed dry.

This isn't about espionage. It's about distraction. Big corporations don't want you to know that China evolved from its past mistakes and built a future without depending on military might. They don't want you asking why we can't do the same.

No donation requests. No gimmicks. Just a sarcastic, smart, and brutally honest conversation about why we're being played—and what we can do about it.

If this message hits home, do one thing: like, share, and follow Independently Screwed. That's it. That's the ask.

Because the truth doesn't need a soundtrack—it just needs to be heard.

No jingles, no drama—just a cold, hard look at why your golden years look more like tarnished tin. Host Nelson N. Alers—independent presidential candidate, card-maxed, and patience-minimal—walks you through the bipartisan heist of Social Security. They borrowed your future to balance their spreadsheets, and now they want to call it “entitlement reform.” Spoiler: it’s not reform, it’s repossession. We’ll talk military budgets that could fund Mars colonies, billionaires who pay less tax than a vending machine, and why the real “national debt” is the one we owe to our own seniors. No pacifiers, no party lines—just a conversation that might make you mad enough to vote like your life depends on it. Because it does.

In this episode:

Nelson does what the major parties won't—call out the whole damn circus. No music. No sound effects. No sugarcoating.

He takes a hard look at the performative progressivism of AOC and Bernie Sanders—two self-proclaimed socialists who know damn well that label tanks outside the Northeast, so they dress it up in nicer words. Then he swings right at JD Vance and Marco Rubio, who talk tough about the system while cashing checks from the very machine they claim to hate.

The takeaway? They all care about one thing: surviving the next election. Not you. Not the country. Just polls, swing states, and their own job security.

Nelson makes the case for a new kind of revolution—not left, not right, but independent and inconvenient. No donations asked for (we're broke, we know). Just a simple ask: follow, share, and start thinking for yourself.

If you're tired of the same two-party puppet show and ready to hear someone say what everyone's thinking but too scared to tweet—this one's for you.

Disclaimer: No politicians were harmed in the making of this podcast. But their feelings might've been. Oh well.

In this short-but-not-sweet episode of Independently Screwed, Nelson takes a blowtorch to the two words that keep Americans fighting each other instead of their actual oppressors: socialism and capitalism.

Spoiler alert—one isn't evil, and the other isn't the American Dream. It's just musical chairs with better marketing.

Nelson also drops an uncomfortable truth bomb for the faithful: Jesus was a socialist. Read the book. No co-pays. No deductibles. Just feeding the hungry and healing the sick. If that offends you, maybe it's your reading comprehension, not your politics, that needs work.

Both parties are funded by the same corporations. Both are terrified of you realizing you don't need them. Nelson isn't asking for your vote—yet. He's definitely not asking for your money. He's asking you to stop blaming your neighbor and start paying attention.

Warning: May contain traces of sarcasm, common sense, and a candidate with $14 in his checking account.

Independently Screwed. Stop blaming. Start thinking.

Let's be honest—if you're not a billionaire, you're not "qualified" for the highest office in the land. At least, that's what the two parties want you to believe.

I'm Nelson N. Alers. I have no Super PACs. No Wall Street donors. No golden parachute. My campaign sign is made of cardboard I found behind a 7-Eleven. And I'm running for President of the United States.

In this episode of Independently Screwed, I'm calling B.S. on the biggest con job in American history—the lie that only the ultra-wealthy can lead. We'll talk about why the Democrats and Republicans secretly love each other (hint: they both protect the same donors), why the media acts as the bouncer for the rich-kids club, and why a broke citizen with nothing to lose is actually the most dangerous person in the room.

No music. No special effects. Just a tired, sarcastic guy telling you the truth because he's too poor to afford a filter.

If you've ever wondered why the system never changes—it's because it's working perfectly for the people running it. And they're not letting you in without a cover charge.

Listen if you're broke, angry, or just tired of being told you're not smart enough to vote for yourself.

I'm Independently Screwed. And I'm too broke to lie to you.

Independent presidential candidate Nelson N. Alers pulls back the curtain on the greatest con in American history. With zero editing, zero rehearsals, and zero corporate cash, he eviscerates both parties for using citizens as pawns—backed entirely by verifiable facts. Your credit card is maxed, your trust is gone, but your voice isn't. This is the raw, unfiltered conversation your friends warned you about. New episodes every Monday starting August 31. No PACs. No billionaires. Just the truth.
