No, I hope that was sarcastic. It should be clear that I think both parties are useless especially their more militant wings. I do think politics is very entertaining. I love listening to Rush Limbaugh and Al Sharpton.
Because people like to divide themselves into "Us vs Them". Black vs white. Christian vs Jews. Jews vs. Muslim. Catholic Vs. Protestant. Hutsis vs Tutus. North Jersey vs. South Jersey.
This is exactly right. People like to take sides, and I think in some regard, like conflict. I guess it's all part of human nature. I haven't voted for anything in over 10 years and pay no attention to politics. It's all a bunch of nonsense geared towards personal gain. Makes no difference who you vote for one way or the other.
I have long said we are ripe for a well funded third party--provided it met in the middle. Fiscally conservative, socially liberal--but not too much on either extreme. Just centrist.
But it will never happen....... it has been tried.
......but the politics of destruction really bother me. "A house divided cannot stand" and God knows we are damn divided....and we have forgotten how to play fair and argue thoughtfully.
If people of both parties weren't so downright nasty and rude to one another, with the name calling and stereotypes and whatever else goes on, then I don't think people would care nearly as much about party affiliation.
Exactly. These knuckleheads think that if their party had all the power everything would be perfect. They believe the other side is the only thing preventing utopia.
It's amazing that you can teach a 4 year old to share, but something happens when they turn 40 and start caring about politics.

Most times I'm wishing the party system would just be completely abolished, and we could just vote for individuals.
