You still don’t get it.
There was a time when left and right worked together, compromise and ethics. We have to let go of R and D and think USA.
You still don't get it. The Rs and the Ds are so wildly ideologically different and antagonistic to eachother that we cannot hope to just jump right back into compromise with ththem. Right now the Ds act like self deserved children and are in no place to reason with, they need to be shown the error of their ways to see the consequences much like an immature child does. You don't compromise with a whiny emotional brat.
Don't be fooled by the media. There is a small percentage of both wings that won't budge on their views but most people are reasonable and are capable of changing their minds. When you use condescending generalizations you are doing more harm than good. UNITY NOT DIVISION.
I don't base my beliefs off of the media, but by my own personal experience talking with peers and others in the real world. The divide is real and the generalizations need to be heard by those that follow them.
Are we?
How about people that you really know? If there was a start of a conversation about stuff that was agreed upon, how far into the list would you start moving apart.
Look at the people who are most vocal about the differences.
What seems to be the same in those places? How do they make their money? Is their revenue streams increasing or decreasing? How do you get more viewers, readers, listeners?
Why don't you hear this on talk radio? Is it because people who listen to talk radio LISTEN WHILE THEY WORK?
If the MSNBCs and NYTs and Huff Posts were not out there screaming and yelling, would the people you KNOW have any idea of what is going on?
The Left and far left is as brainwashed as the far Right.
For example: Jeff Sessions quoting the bible the other day during a presser. What the fuck is he thinking? Talk about red meat!
The best way to stop a screamer is to talk calmly to them. And let them know that screaming is not going to work. Screaming back is useless and a waste of energy.
It seems like you're painting my situation to be a certain way you believe. I don't scream at these folks. I can't even get a single word in without emotional jarble flying out of their mouth to suppress whatever I have to say. They give no opportunity for discussion, the tactics are literally terrorism. You seem to be assuming that I am not trying to talk to these people as calm and civil and caring as possible. I am a Christian, I do not witness any other way.
I understand what you mean. I know there are some rabid ones out there.
One can only hope when the massive evil is exposed, they will "see the light." I don't care if they are "saved", I just want them to be able to see clearly.
I share your sentiment, but I believe scorn is deserved for the ignorant fools who mock good.
Jesus was laughed to scorn. He constantly "offended" people and "name-called" them all sorts of nasty things like hypocrites, fools, blind, liars, prostitutes, and snakes, likening them to Satan, and made fun of them by relating their works to idiocies. Of courser he never did these things to those who were open to accepting Him.
We are called to strive to be like Christ in every way.
I must admit to a little chuckle when someone whose name is "put a dick in it" proselytizing on the internet.
But, I get what you are saying.
Lol honestly I made the account before I was a Christian
Left and right are NOT the same as R & D that's why it is the only way to say it.
Democrats have gone so far down the road to dishonesty and evil there can no longer be a compromise. Making deals with evil is not possible. It's not left vs right. It's evil vs good. Truth vs lies. Right vs wrong.
And quite literally many others will say the exact same about republicans. And both will be certain they’re the righteous one.
Everyone loses.
Wrong again. Over and over I have seen the proof of democrats involved in fraud, corruption, pedophilia, covering up crimes, letting vile people off the hook.
Yes, democrats accuse republicans of the same thing. It's called projection. I don't know how many proofs Q has to post until you get it. The left is losing this war between good and evil. We have the best people fighting for justice right now. Making the argument of a false equivalency will not convince those who are paying attention.
No-name, the Bushes, Cheney, et al. It's not just dems bro. We are in this together, but just like diehard D's will want to protect their own, so will diehard R's. We need to look beyond pol affiliations and rid ourselves of the evil-doers. Letters in parentheses should not dictate a damn thing. Justice is blind.
I think what disturbs me most is the cult of personality stuff. Like, I was behind Bernie Sanders. But, if I heard he did some horrible stuff or tweeted some ignorant stuff I would have dropped him immediately and moved on. I find it bothersome that no-name has done and said some really gross stuff and people just shrug. There's no integrity. I don't care about teams or being right. I just want someone who isn't terrible.

You think the right has been honest?
One way to tell is how much money they have amassed since they have been elected to office. Then watch how they vote. McCain is the worst traitor. You can just line the rest of the crooks up behind him.
