Politics Poll: We have met the enemy and it is us

I posted this in another thread, but thought it deserves its own thread for discussion.

How fucked are we that our countrymen view each other as enemies? Will we be another empire that will collapse due to internal forces?

Poll: We have met the enemy and it is us

So it is saying that: More than half of us are freaking nuts. I fall under that category.

But the greatest threat to America's way of life, is our very own government.

Divide and conquer. It’s much harder to fuck over a peaceful, well-informed populace than one that battles itself in the streets.

The government stabs you in the back then the media tells you it was your neighbor who did it.

The government is, unfortunately, us. It's not somebody else. You vote for dipshits who don't believe in good government, you get shitty government.

Off-topic, @jonnyboy, I see that someone is proposing that Wyoming secede. How do you feel about that?

I refuse to include myself in "us". You see, my ancestors evolved from ape like creatures through Millions of years of progressive evolution and their ancestors did not evolve. I am nothing like the heathen that rioted inside our Capitol building.

THE Problem is Choice. With only two legitimate candidates and an electoral vote system, choices are narrowed into Red and Blue parties. I always wanted three or five parties but $$$$ stops that. In 2016, I voted for the lesser of two evils. That didn't work.

I guess the Wyoming GOP Chairman said “we’re paying attention to Texas’ efforts to secede.”
Basically just a broad generalized statement. That person doesn’t really speak for anyone but himself, I’m pretty informed for the most part and don’t even know the guys name or care for that matter. Most people aren’t uber-political here, they just work hard, enjoy the outdoors and would probably prefer jackasses like the GOP Chairman to keep our name out of the news.

Americans Are More Afraid Of Each Other Than Covid.



Our very own U.S. media is pitting Americans against each other.

I liked the Cardinals at that time. Dobler was a real asshole when he played.

nothing will be fixed until we address campaign finance reform.
It is the gateway to fixing everything else. Get the lobbyist out of the way, the money out of politics and then we will hopefully see better candidates who are more of a humanitarian than capitalists.
Campaign finance reform is the key to change. until this is addressed we will always be stuck with the two major party, money backed candidates that are puppets for large corp agendas.

That would never change. Both sides play the same game.
