There really isn't much difference between the left and the right. Both sides dislike 90% of the decisions that politicians make. The media just wants to perpetuate the one side verse the other side divide, because that is what draws views/clicks/likes. They go out of their way to make the other side appear as bad as possible, both sides do this, if you go to a primary left wing site like some sub-reddits you will see the same thing, but opposite as what is posted here, posters who hate conservatives, and find the most extreme examples to prove their point. People have taken rooting for their political party like they root for a sports team, they blindly cheer on their side no matter what. We need people on both sides to be more critical of their own party, to vote for politicians that want compromise, and to understand that the media has really shifted towards going for views/likes, rather than informing. This is especially true of social media like youtube, where how much they make is directly correlated with how many views they get. I hope this country does not get swayed too much by either political party and that over the next 30 years half of the time republicans will have control, and other half democrats, I also hope that we start voting in more moderate candidates on both sides, and that we avoid slimeballs like Newsom. None of what I want will happen though. Good day to you ed, take care of yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 7,985 Posted 6 hours ago I know a few fringe lefties irl who are pretty crazy and angry. Judging from the GC, the fringe righties aren’t any better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
