The real problem with politics

[disciple Clint]

Converting...you mean bringing diseases that brought the native American to near extinction, through diseases, murder, rape, torture, theft, over 90% of the native Americans were wiped out and Christianity had a strong hand in the spreading of small pox which was the biggest killer of the native American. I could tell right now what most Native Americans think of Christianity but the comment would be inappropriate. I could post lots of articles but again any serious criticism of Christianity is not allowed.

And Christians built schools and hospitals and helped Native Americans but that is another narrative that conflicts with the victim narrative.

Perhaps when God scattered people at Babel it was meant for each to grow with and influence only their own. Look at how the Jews stuck together even if the rest of the Hebrew tribes disappeared into other cultures.

I believe as a society we progress passed segregation long ago.

It's not so much a matter of segregation, but of separate communities. But either way, the closer we reconnect the worse things become. But then again globalization was always to be our downfall.

The Body of Christ is the reversal of Babel.

Coming together over the right things.

Coming together over the right things.

By the right method.

By the right method.

Even though there is divisiveness in even that.

No victim's, were having a comeback, oil wells, buying major casinos, buying major restaurant chains. As for the so called schools and hospitals...we did not need your schools or hospitals, most of the diseases were brought by Europeans. European and American people all claiming to be Christians and spent 500 years raping, stealing, torturing, and eradicating the native American...not victim narrative...fact. And I and very much aware of my people's fault in that, we have never been united at least not in away that would have made a difference...correction as of late we are becoming united, and making a comeback.

raping, stealing, torturing, and eradicating the native American..

Do you know that all these things were common between tribes long before any white people came here and long after they arrived. The education was provided by Christians, had that not been provided where do you think those assets the tribes now have would have gone.

Probably not....but the native Americans respected nature they were one with it...and yes they had the same social problems and wars as all cultures do. What assets, driving this planet into another mass extinction.

Fixing this country is not really hard, it requires meeting in the middle, give and take, actual sacrifice.

Sacrifice, for most, is hard. Really hard.

It is not Biden or Trump or anyone in the senate or congress. It is the people, the people of this country do not vote someone in office on there qualifications to to do the job. They vote political parties in and the people they vote republican and democrat care about only one thing, screwing over the other party even at the cost of our democracy. I think come 2022 and 2024 to solve the problem everyone needs to vote independent, and something to consider, do they have a college education because we got way to many ignorant people in office. Fixing this country is not really hard, it requires meeting in the middle, give and take, actual sacrifice. Democrats want to much to fast and Republicans are to selfish and do not want to give enough. There has to be a middle ground and there has not been one in over 20 years. So for me its simple, I vote for individuals not political parties.

I see your point. However, the problem with politics has nothing to do with the vote... It has everything to do with the people who paid for the campaigns.

Those in power talk and speak and lie to those who go to the ballots.
Those in power are in positions to gain power due to the money of the mega wealthy.


SO.. when the minions go to the polls and vote for the person they like... for whatever reasons:

Daddy voted for that party
The party promised to pay my school lone off
The party promised to not raise taxes
The party promised to bring jobs
The party promised to get me more money
The party promised to lower the cost of living
The party promised to make me safer
The party promised blah, blah, blah, blah blah.

Then.. the party gets in power and doesn't give to spits for what they stated in their campaign.

They are now the arms, legs and wallet of the mega rich and powerful that paid for their campaign.

They are nothing but puppets for a global club of elite that will have them:

Not pay your school lone but make education more expensive
Raise your taxes
Lose jobs and raise unemployment
Lower your standard of living and increase inflation and the national debt
Make your life less safe and more dangerous

Everything that the party in power does is to make the rich richer, take away your rights and make you pay for it all.

All this under the guise or mask of being in your best interest.
