Both of the two major parties in the U.S. are facing something of an identity crisis right now. Neother os united in terms of policy or policy for how to move forward. In some respects, thisis a vulnerable time for us. However, I choose to be optiminstic and hope that this is the impetus for a strong third party, which I have flket we have needed for many, many years. The moderates in both parties will hopefully come together to create a viable third option that we moderate independents could support.
Plus the worst thing that the "radicals" of the left want is healthcare and education. The radical right wants to overthrow Democracy, arm schoolchildren, legislate prayer and lock people up without charges. Not to mention the sheer numbers of radical right and the weapons they bring to the "debate".
I'm fine with school prayer but don't make it organized an leave it open for people that don't want to take part.
Of course you have not taken the time to do in-depth research about those countries and how they pay for that. Once you see the whole story you see this is not the paradise it seems. Canada has universal healthcare. In Canada people wait months for procedures which are done on an urgent basis here. The case fatality rate for COVID-19 is double the US rate in Canada and the UK rate (with universal health insurance) is four times the US rate.
Not true.
The US has 1,220 deaths per million, and Canada has 471 deaths per million.
And the radicals on the right haven't done that? I don't condone the actions of Maxine Waters but many on the right condone the actions by men like Rep. Gosar or President Trump. Do you?
I don't condone either side. I condemn both. Unfortunately very high powered Democrats don't feel the same way and neither does much of the media.
Then does this situation surprise you? Of these two evils (Dem & Repub), I don't see a 'lesser'.
I have Gosar as the rep for my district, you really think I want a conspiracy nutter for my representative? I crap on Republicans since about 2013 because they think that Government Shutdowns are the way to go about business when it comes to debt issues. My mother was a D.O.D. civilian for almost 40 years, she would be furloughed while these idiots are paid to keep fighting? Then again, I don't recall Democrats inciting anything to the likes we saw a week and a half ago. Plain and simple, I may never register to be a Democrat, but I will NEVER register to be a Republican at this point.
They always end up imploding. Republicans are generally the do nothing group and Democrats are generally the imploding group. Now that the radicals are gaining more control on team Democrat, the fireworks will be fun to watch.
Agreed, the Dems will overreach and lose the house in 2022. Dem states are set to lose quite a few house seats after the census. Most of the gains will go to republican areas.
