I don’t think it’s possible at this point we’re headed toward a revolution.

We never saw this kind of division in our country under Obama.

BLM and antifa rioting started under Obama. He started the division against the police and largely created all the hostility toward Trump. Plenty of people who even voted for Obama felt he was very divisive.

When a president goes after his own cabinet picks because they don't agree with him is a division in our country. It worries us because we wonder how stable this administration in. So stop with this nonsense about Obama.

I honestly do not believe we can fix this. Between social media and the press we have a powder keg. I do not know when it will explode.

Yes we did. It actually started under Clinton and escalated from there.

The biggest thing that needs to happen to stop all the division is to get rid of the party system.
No democratic or republican parties, and no political party at all.
Let people run for office on their merits, and let people fund their campaigns that truly like one particular candidate.
Vote a candidate into office,, not a party.

Unbelievable you would say this. I have never seen such division in our country which our president promotes. And please educate yourself to learn about white supremacy. Good grief.


You must be very young.

This is an excellent post , the content of which very much bears repeating .

While many ( understandably ) support the vote for third/alternative parties concept , a much better outcome could be achieved ( IMHO ) if political parties as such were dissolved with individual candidates taking their place .

I would blame the media most for causing division but they are doing it on behalf of the Democratic party and candidates. Voting for Biden is voting for the media and their division they promote.
