There is no desire for common groundwe can achieve what we want. you find the things you are looking for so people look for reasons to keep at each other, not come together.it's where normal people play and figure things out.in my mind he could do it differently and still be effective. all this constant name calling and POOR ME isn't very dignified. the thing he's going going for him there however is NONE Of our elected politicians are very dignified these days so it's just more of the same.
i want the extreme personalities to get the FUCK out of office and let's learn to work together on the common ground we're able to build off of. that will simply never happen in todays climate and i feel that needs to change. both sides need to get out of the pool and let's let calmer heads prevail.
I am curious....what common ground?
Common ground?
On taxes?
On guns?
On freedom of religion?
Stop me when you see a topic where we can achieve common ground...
so that's how we view the world around us. they attack, i attack back. don't even care why or what it's over. just attack back. both sides do this and have trigger fingers on the hate guns ready to roll the moment someone we deem to be on "the other side" says something.
victory is getting a good shot in, not fixing a problem.
so that's what our culture does these days. when we change our culture then yes, we can find common ground. but you don't do that when you have an extreme mindset ready to hit back all the time.
We won't be able to find common ground til the baby boomers finally retire from politics but by then it will be too late.
