    A point in each political position

    I've talked with about 200 different people over the course of the last 5 years, random people pretty much, and many of them have made political points. What I have noticed is most people have a valid point. Yes. The most common error is in what is omitted - sure there are a lot of logical...

    We could have both

    If the media is to be believed there are some political candidates on the Left, and there certainly are some on the Right. Which ones should run the country? Both. Incomes below 15,000 a year need some kind of benefits, real ones, not just empty promises as is often the case right now. We...

    Why did you pick Red or Blue?

    Was it: 1. When you picked 2. Ethical or moral beliefs 3. Income level/skills type 4. State you live in 5. Peer pressure 6. Parental pressure 7. Radio or TV you watch 8. Other In my case 1. Way back when I was a partisan I was a Blue because Ronald Reagan was President and I got a very bad...

    Do Americans exist anymore?

    All I hear about anymore is Blues that want to defeat Reds and Reds that want to defeat Blues. And each has an ultimate goal is to 'flip' a state. In the 2016 they threw mud at each other and there was plenty of mud to throw. But overall, how did they manage to split our country into two...

    At present there are significantly more voters with attachment to the Democratic Party than to the Republican Party So the big question is how to maintain the balance to keep the public enthralled, interested, and waiting in hope that next time it will be their turn and that the public will...

    Democracy has been rendered horribly confusing and ineffective

    Confusing: a lot of terms such as: left, democratic, progressive, liberal, democratic socialist, radical, reformist, interventionist, Keynesian, big government, Globalist, Neo-liberal and humanist are applied interchangeably despite the different and sometimes opposite meanings. Conservative...

    Biden's VP

    Biden is set to choose a female running mate. And, given his age, his VP has to be well-prepared for the presidency. This is, of course, in addition to helping him win the elections. Biden's list includes the following: - Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan. - Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of...

    What is the difference between Democrats and Republicans and what are the similarities?

    The key difference between the Republican and Democratic parties has to be the voters, whom they will support and whom they won't. I think I have some understanding of this because in 2016 I switched from Democratic to Republican, but I'm usually surprised by the different takes others people...

    The problem is the media

    People are pretty good thinkers when they think together. I go into the Dem safe house and most of what is there has a compelling truth to it, and the same in the Rep safe house. The garbage 'information' pumped out by the media tends to disintegrate, that's why it has to keep pouring it out...

    How has our version of neoliberalism worked out?

    Elements of both parties have to bear the shame of this, or was that share the blame? The liberalism term comes from laissez-faire economic liberalism and free market capitalism rather than from classical liberalism. The result of applying neoliberalism in the US has been to open low income...
