RE: When politics are Worse Than a Bad Movie
And here we have a good example of the problem. Finger pointing at anyone who doesn't ascribe to the political ideology that I do. It's always "those people" isn't it? Unfortunately to others, you are also "those people" at fault for everything. When everyone is divided and points fingers, noone comes out ahead. We all lose.
Sorry, i am not part of it.
I am not a democran or a republicrat.
That said, what i showed was an example of a one sided problem.
The only reason the left isn't dead right now is that the right thinks that things can be settled reasonably.
I am part of a generation where we could have political conversations "across the isle".
Liberals and conservatives both have valid points.
But, this is not where we are today.
We have one side that is playing victims. Victim mentality means that you are either with them, or against them.
Today we have a problem that if one side wins, we ALL die.
If the other side wins, things may become stagnant.
See, you just glossed over the entire point I was making... And continued to display the issue at hand for all too see. You think one side is right and the other side is wrong. Neither side are either.
That is utterly laughable. If you and I had this discussion in person, I would actually laugh straight to your face.
No side should win and no side should lose. True progress is found within compromise to the point where noone gets what they want (but also noone absolutely loathes the result). If noone is entirely happy,and noone completely miserable, you can bet damn sure you went in a direction that was fair.
It also results in slow, incremental changes.
You are speaking of some imaginary conflict where there are two rational parties.
I do not agree with that premise.
Now, lets us look at times in history where the left/socialist/communists have won. Every time, massive numbers of conservatives were killed off just after the change in power, AND THEN billions of people died due to starvation.
This time, we are talking about a very technologically advanced nation that has a very intricate and complex structure that keeps everyone alive.
Conservatives do almost all of the jobs that keep that structure intact and food, electricity and water flowing. Seriously, there are almost no leftist in this group.
So, left wins, kills off all the conservatives, and then almost everyone in the cities dies.
I guess you are correct... not EVERYONE dies. Just 90% of the people.
So... compromise, hmmm?
Show me a compromise position on abortion.
I am speaking of people in general, where there are various ideological views that contrast one another and the optimal solution to any issue is to find the middle ground between the extremes. I don't really think its a black and white issue.
I mean... I am not sure where you get this view from. It's interesting to me that you think this way, but I can't really see where you are coming from.
No?
If you are referring to the US there are three major groups of people. Far right conservatives, right of center conservatives, and left of center (though the centrists both right and left of center are hardly representative of the extremes). There really isn't any sizable left, even the 'extremes' like Bernie Sanders is pretty centrist relative to the left of the remainder of the world.
People keep their abortions and also get to keep their guns. There nobody is happy.
