I have conversations about this stuff all the time with friends and family.I offered you honest communication and you declinedUnfortunately, we currently can't even get THAT far, since normal, honest communication is frowned upon, or beyond the capacity of many.The country has competing principals. We used to have common core values that no matter which side of the aisle we sat we could at least agree on those values.
Now they no longer exist. Lies are defended and bad behavior is dismissed. The end justifies the means. That is today's mantra in America.
Until we can decide which core values we can agree on this divide will only grow.

“I would win if both ends realized that this country was built on communication, collaboration and innovation”....I would "win" if both ends realized that this country was built on collaboration, communication and innovation.You are mistaken about republicansRush says this pretty regularly, so naturally you're going to see it here - THE DEMS WANT ONE PARTY RULE AAAUUUGGGHHH - while pushing for one party rule.And as we look at republican gerrymandering and voter suppression, here is a republican claiming democrats want 1 party rule.
Every time he says it, I just roll my eyes and smile. They somehow don't see the irony, they just swallow it whole and obediently repeat it. Incredible.
.
we do want to win of course
dont you want to win?
but what dems want is complete eradication of any conflicting ideas so that they never have to debate again
No, I don't want one end to "win". Monopoly kills innovation.

Nonsense.I have to admit I have an obsession. It gnaws at me. I am frequently preoccupied with it, searching for a solution to this puzzle only to be disappointed and frustrated.
How did this country get to the fractured, broken place that we currently find ourselves in?
I know part of the answer to that question involves Trump, but it’s far more than just that. It’s much deeper and has been in the works for much longer than the political prominence of Donald J. It goes back decades. It’s the legacy of toxic nativism, hateful racism, know-nothingism and general selfish assholishness. There is a strain of person in this country that are frankly dumber than a stump and arrogant about it. Removing Trump either by a vote in the Senate or during the election won’t remove these people, they’re with us to stay. And that’s a problem, a big problem. This country is tearing apart at the very seams It’s the legacy of toxic nativism, hateful racism, know-nothingism and general selfish assholishness. that's pretty much it in a nutshell. Good article.

Thanks for proving to the entire forum that you hate America.America has some serious identity problems.....
America believes in exceptionalism , while presenting itself a grand hypocrisy to the world
America views itself as the world's police , while cloaking extortionary policy in the guise of freedom
America believes in FF ideals, while actively working to undermine them
America wants to carry the torch of freedom around the world, but fails to be example of it at home
America wants to promote itself as 'best' , by means a monkey could win debates against
America wants to claim science and media 'fake' when it's convenient to do so, much to the chagrin of the rest of the world
America wants isolationist policies at home, while declaring our imposition on other nation states justified

I've been participating on bi partisan political message boards for for 12 years and this has to be at the top of the list of the most ignorant statements I've ever seen. There is a cure for ignorant- it's called gaining knowledge- there is no cure for stupid, but to work hard at it, like the above post, is beyond normal, everyday stupid and offers no path to redemption.“I would win if both ends realized that this country was built on communication, collaboration and innovation”....
WOW...that’s some catchy shit...very captivating....are you sure you want to go there?
This country was also built on the backs of likeminded Caucasians whom practiced Christianity, family values, moralality, decency, accountability, law and order, pride, patriotism.
This country was NOT built by 100 million Mexicans here without an invite or authorization from We The People.
You probably don’t want to revert to what “built this nation” and made it so great once upon a time...RIGHT?
You try hard Mac, I’ll give you that...but the real problem is so simple and it lies right beneath your nose.
MULTICULTURALISM fucked this country up....PERIOD!

Here's some knowledge free of charge: This country was founded on the principle that ALL men are created equal and have certain unalienable rights- there is no caveat to "all"- as for once upon a time- the founders, were in fact, illegals in your interpretation since the people didn't invite them- our ancestors then fell to believing they were special and took up bumper sticker slogans to prove it- Manifest Destiny- the only good Indian is a dead Indian- and, IF they weren't believed they would kill you to prove their Christianity was less savage than the savage they killed-
You, sir, are one ignorant, working at being stupid, fuck to ever infect a political message board.

I cant quite tell where you are going with that so I will just summarize my own positionI'll jump in on this "issue"- not everyone is smart- and working hard is subjective. Smart is determined by using what you have to your advantage- how many people actually understand that? It's somehow been ordained that college is the only path to being smart. That ain't so. In fact, it could be argued, college doesn't make you smart, it adds to the dumbing down leading the not very bright to believe they're something they're not simply because they achieved the award of a sheep skin and so, society should reward them.They fail to take advantage of the opportunity America offers to those who are smart and work hard
America, as currently structured, restricts opportunity at every turn. "Turns" are paths directed by others whose only skin in the game is writing rules for others paths. Those rule writers are considered smart, or something. However, the really smart person looks for ways to circumvent rules. Some "work hard" at it. Some do the same because someone else showed them how. Some come by it naturally. So that begs the question; just how smart are rule writers? If our situation is to be judged by where we are, as it should be, it has to be acknowledged that rule writers are either not very smart, or, the paths they've intentionally left open only allow for a few and they know it, making them exceptionally smart. I prefer the former over the latter since rules have been broken since the first one was written.
Note that when one becomes really successful by society's standards, (material accumulation), they become an enemy and are publicly vilified, on one side, and by the rule writers on one side and the other side glorifies them and both sides of the rule writers immediately sets about rewriting the rules so even fewer can play.
That is "as currently structured" which is an antithesis to original intent which was to have a representative gov't to help ensure (and insure) one didn't have a legal advantage over another- yet, here we are "as currently structured" with so many rules they can't be counted with an estimate being that every person breaks at least three per day- that ain't smart by any matrix.
I read a quote a while back and I don't remember where or verbatim, but, it was something along the lines of; the more rules a gov't writes the more opportunity it offers for tyranny-
The founders fought a war and some lost their fortunes to get out from under a monarchs tyranny- yet, here we are under an oligarch tyranny- how smart is that? How many "work hard" to ensure and insure it remains that way?
They have allowed themselves to eschew fundamental curiosity and critical thinking in favor of shallow, tribal, binary thought processes and actions.In what ways have the Republicans changed to cause this rift in society?This is a group effort. We CHOOSE to act this way.
No one is making us, even though we're good at pointing fingers. WE are responsible for what we do and say.
Enlighten meI don't think you actually know what the Republicans think.I have to admit I have an obsession. It gnaws at me. I am frequently preoccupied with it, searching for a solution to this puzzle only to be disappointed and frustrated.

You're seeing things in a very dark setting, here.
Let me bring some light into your world..
The Republicans support private enterprise to the max.
The Democrats support the middle classes, the poor, and the recent immigrants, to the max.
The Republicans think a prison industry is the solution to the problems caused by the poor's sufferings. It's not, btw.
The Democrats have great social plans, but not a clue on how to finance it.
They say 'tax the rich more', but that implies taking away the seed money that keeps your country and it's allies secure in this competitive world.
The solution, i think, is for the Democrats to play their role, but focus on how to pay for their plans a lot better,
and for Republicans to spend a little less on prison industry and more on affordable housing projects, each going up for a specific minority group (which tend to run into conflicts even with each other).
Fact is, the US has plenty of space for entirely new towns, far away from the homes of the rich(er) people.
