Agree.

Honest, sincere conversation with a modicum of intelligence.


Fear not, there are plenty of good Republicans that share our concerns for this country. They are not here, apparently.


I find it interesting that you (and others) do not seem to understand that much of what we face is the outcome of collective forces, uncontrollable by politics. I know it is natural for you to want to blame; I see a lot of that here. In truth, we all deal with poor decision making done in the face of too little information or time. There is no one to blame, and the divisiveness between our political parties makes the situations worse.

If you truly cared about this country's future, you would be seeking common grounds and ways we could work together.
Addressing the latter. Why don't you tell that to the Democrats in congress who fought Trump all the way during his presidency? There are things that cannot be compromised on to if it negatively impacts our own citizens.

White Supremacy? A few backwoods hillbillies in jacked-up trucks are hardly a problem worth wasting any time on. It's pretty much non-existent, except in the minds of folks who live in a world of perceived perpetual victim-hood.
Says the person who feels like he is a victim of racism against whites. How does that even work?

None of those.

The ongoing mistrust of the electoral process by both sides and the growing gap between the rich and the poor with no middle class are the biggest issues IMO.

We have parties who both shout foul when an election goes against them. Sooner or later that will have grave consequences for the nation.

I agree and would vote OTHER because the economy is terrible on a global level. People need to be able to heat their homes, to be able to BUY homes in the first place, and to eat. The rest doesn't matter to me as much. I think going green is ridiculous during times of economic hardship and I really don't care what happens to Trump. Overturning Roe was a huge step backwards but right now being able to live is of paramount importance.

Old Glory, I do write my Congresswoman and Senators frequently about protecting the interests of the working people. As for Trump, I do not think he was for the working people. There, we disagree.

And you base your comment on what? Trump at least tried to keep these foreigner invaders out of our county to retain American jobs, taxes and resources. That's not protecting the interests of the working people? He also gave tax cuts across the board. Unemployment was very low to until Covid hit. There were many things he did but I'm not going to list them all here.

Artificial scarcity created by elites to pit one group of people against another.

This is at the very root of most problems we face.
