People seem to be stuck in party ideology and labels instead of personal values. They cause more harm to themselves by false and misleading information, past anger, and prejudices then if they would progress and look forward in life. They simply lack critical thinking at times.
They cause harm to themselves, and to everyone else as well. No agenda is right because its so broad and undifferenchiated. Ideas and values are eclectic in nature if you allow them to be by not buying into someone's easy no strain belief system. If we don't get off this train fueled by agendas and name calling at the drop of a hat we're in for much coming badness. People who are part of a group will act much worse than people who are individuals who share an interest. We don't need the former and could be saved by the latter.
The other side is wrong about everything, and we should yell and get mad at them because they are evil. My party is the best, and nobody else has any good ideas.
what so funny is both parties are the same , and dont even represent the people anymore
yet people are locked in the eternal r-vs-d battle of our souls

Popular sentiment these days, but hardly accurate.
There are dramatic and irreconcilable philosophical differences between the Major Partys.
What is true is: the ardent pastime of defending the hubris and venal propensities of "leaders" (of any political persuasion) who betray this Nation under our noses, is foolish in the extreme...and unworthy of intelligent and free men.
The passionate (virulent?) defense by constituents, supporters, and apologists for the multitude of "professional liars" in Washington D.C., is truly disturbing, and bodes ill for the future of our progeny. With disturbing regularity, their treachery, betrayal, and designs are ignored (or worse, defended), as a matter of course, because, "they're OUR Party miscreants"
Loyalty to a Party, and its leaders must be preceded, and superceded, by loyalty to the Constitution, and to this Nation---for which so many bled, sacrificed and died.
Loyalty to thieves, liars and cheats; augurs the only loss and destruction
...and deservedly so, for proud defenders and apologists of the corrupt.
Too true! Indeed, read Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens (written in 1836). In it he describes an election in a small town, served by two newspapers which attack each other's politics, including inane things such as whether a new 'pump' should be installed on High street.
Don't think that what happened in 1836 doesn't happened today. We were informed recently that a resident planned to sue us for installing speed humps on a street, at the request of that street's residents, because it was too expensive-$1200. The plaintiff lives in a high risk flood zone where we are now installing $300K of flood control work, including a $150K flood pump.
Here is an excerpt:
"It appears, then, that the Eatanswill people, like the people of
many other small towns, considered themselves of the utmost
and most mighty importance, and that every man in Eatanswill,
conscious of the weight that attached to his example, felt himself
bound to unite, heart and soul, with one of the two great parties
that divided the town--the Blues and the Buffs. Now the Blues
lost no opportunity of opposing the Buffs, and the Buffs lost no
opportunity of opposing the Blues; and the consequence was,
that whenever the Buffs and Blues met together at public meeting,
town-hall, fair, or market, disputes and high words arose
between them. With these dissensions it is almost superfluous to
say that everything in Eatanswill was made a party question. If
the Buffs proposed to new skylight the market-place, the Blues
got up public meetings, and denounced the proceeding; if the
Blues proposed the erection of an additional pump in the High
Street, the Buffs rose as one man and stood aghast at the enormity.
There were Blue shops and Buff shops, Blue inns and Buff
inns--there was a Blue aisle and a Buff aisle in the very church itself."

The theatrics of the political circus is the meat for the low men to chew on while their betters sit back and laugh. I've been around for some time now and I can't really see the difference between the two major parties in America, after one party has disgraced itself upon the alter of corruption the people can't wait to vote in the "other guy" who has by now cleansed himself and his party by throwing the dung from his past onto the party in power.
