Bipartisanship

In Joseph Smith — Rough Stone Rolling, this concept tags Joseph Smith’s posture of political independence. Explaining his vote for Walker, Smith insisted the choice carried no divine mandate: “The Lord has not given me Revelation concerning politics… I have not asked the Lord for it.—I am a third party [and] stand independent and alone.” The page frames this as Smith refusing to be captured by either party, holding political judgment as a separate, personal matter rather than a prophetic one — a deliberate non-alignment rather than a brokered middle ground.
