Fresh Start Political Thread

[SunnySide]

“I support Donald Trump for president. I’ve directly encouraged him to run and he gives me every indication he will,” Gaetz told the paper. “If Trump doesn’t run, I’m sure I could defeat whatever remains of Joe Biden by 2024.”

Politics in America is truly, unfixably broken.

We are being torn apart and steered by the far left and far right.

Politicians just pander to their extremes.

oh well .. was nice while it lasted.

I disagree strongly. The far left isn’t exactly calling any shots. Trump, or the party of trump, or the far right - has the Republican party right in its pocket. The democratic party has not changed. Not anymore than normal incremental change. The republican party has completely hitched its wagon to one man. One man who lost the Whitehouse, Senate, and House like he lost umpteen million businesses. Good luck with that.

Yep the Democratic party hasn't changed. They have championed identity policies for over 193 years and counting.

That's the point they have left well enough alone within their party. They believe laws/policies/etc should differ/be enacted/etc according to ones group/race/tribe. They believed that in 1828 and they continue to believe the same thing (and act on it) today.

It was meant to bring awareness and help all races etc feel recognized. The right, as they do, has spun it into something it is not. Black people for example face different issues than whites. So do gays. So do women. So do old people. So do poor people. But extreme right whites want to leave well enough alone because in their eyes the system is on their side.

Not sure I agree. We were pretty shitty back in the day. Trump just brought it back but stuff like armed men patrolling poll sites was pretty common we just expect better in 2020 so we are shocked when people still act like that 200 years later
