Rivals or Enemies?

The left and the right, as represented by the two major parties, have become enemies in the US. That might seem a given to many of you, but it really makes no sense. They should be rivals, but not enemies. It's so bad that the parties fear each other more than the fear outside interests, ie other nations or groups that might genuinely be promoting our downfall.

How did we get here, and how can we turn it around?
how did we get here?

30 years ago roger ailles / murdoch put rush limbaugh on radio stations all over the country....and hate radio was born!
Cons were now getting their daily 3 hours of hate!

then along came limbaugh copycats, fox news, breitbart....etc...

and we now have 72 million hate filled ignorant dirt bags who believe “the only good democrat is a dead democrat”
 
There is only one party whose leader is calling for unity, dialog and compromise.

The guy that is going to cancel every EO that the previous President made?

Yeah that is unity, peace and compromise. The party that wants to punish any that remotely supported the previous administration? Lol!

I don’t see that either party wants unity or compromise. Lots of empty rhetoric and lies.

How did we get here? The two party system got us here. Neither wants compromise, nor unity. They prove it over and over.

They started it? You don't see how the same thing has been happening on both sides? One of the few things Trumpsters are right about is that the left controls the media. They may not have the concentrated focal points like we see on the right, but they counter that with a much wider broadcast of their slanted views.

I agree the media have been a large part of what's turned us into enemies, but it's not a one sided affair.

After four years of doing nothing but stonewalling, shouting down opponents, and burning shit down.

The sanctimony breaks all previous records.

For two year they didn't control a single branch of government. Trumpybear is just a terrible deal maker.

President Elect Biden has had no political power for 4 years.
Excuses are like assholes, everybody has one.

Take your phony pleas for "unity" and shove 'em where the sun don't shine.

Not my pleas dipshit. I hope he uses the newly proclaimed power of the Executive to demand his AG open criminal investigations into all of Trumpybears enablers in Congress. He should use the full power of the Federal government and the FBI to target political opponents because, it's good for America, in his opinion.

But he wont. He'll play nice. Like the Dems always do.

Is this unity?



Seems that even actors who are usually progressive are being attacked by the B L M crowd..

Hate radio? Who is out there Burning Looting and Murdering?

You are a slave of the prog elites, they tell you that talk radio is hate speech, you say what your masters tell you to say...
 
For clarity:
the difference between enemy and rival
is that an enemy is someone who is hostile to, feels hatred towards, opposes the interests of, or intends injury to someone else while a rival is a competitor (person, team, company, etc) with the same goal as another, or striving to attain the same thing.

Hate Radio has had a big influence in turning Americans against Americans.

Agreed. So much of our supposed "news" media have become willfully slanted. I remember when the news corps used to pride itself on objectivity. That's all but gone now.

No you don't

Nope that was Barr theory 101 on unlimited presidential power. Why the President can even use foreign aid to pressure a foreign country into committing what was once considered the politically corrupt act in our country, indicting your political opponent!

No, I really do. I'm pretty old. ;)
 
there is a pretty consistent pattern that can be seen in both policy preferences as well as personal actions.
Conservatives generally want to be left alone. They want federal government action only as stipulated by the constitution, with state and local governments making more of the decisions.
Liberals tend to want to impose their preferences on others, and prefer the federal government to act like big brother making policy for everyone. It seems to be an attitude of “we know what’s best for you, and we will force you to do things our way”.

Pick any area of contention between the left and the right, and you can see this dynamic at work.

Is that why conservatives support unconstitutional policies and many times agree with the growing of federal power?

But he doesn’t mean it.

No I think he means it. The party (or a significant % of them) behind him doesn't.......
He threatened to fight a civilian for arguing with him. He told "the other side" they didnt deserve to know his position on hot button issues.
Good gawd man.

Got anything more recent that he's said? Like since be became the apparent winner in 2020? He seems like one of the calmest on the left. Everybody else is running around saying Transition blocking covid responses and it hurting this or that, but Joe, just says "What a (fucking) embarresament." Okay he didn't say fucking either......

Back in the day when you only had three channels, and PBS. You had to walk up to the TV to change stations. Just as well because sometimes you had to adjust the rabbit ears to get reception?

You are old!

We desperately need some sort of campaign finance reform.

Also we need more parties or no parties.
