Why American politics are polarized:

No it really isn't it's just presented to you that way and you believe it.
You can't name an issue that isn't well defined as it relates to the political divide.

You aren't really half for abortions.
You aren't really half for racism.
You aren't really half for hating government.
And any of the others too.
Sadly, you're just a spammer with very little defined opinions.

Who is for abortion? Certainly not the unfortunate woman involved in one. The only people for abortion are those hypocrites not having them. Nobody wants an abortion. Some women feel they need one, but they DEFINITELY don't WANT one. As an aside, I AM for abortions. I think every dimocrap that gets pregnant should have one. Free. And be awarded $5 from Crime Stop. And $10 from the Keep American Beautiful Fund. Plus another $100 from the Darwin Fund.
You aren't really half for racism.

The only major voting bloc of racists left in this Country are dimocrap scum.
You aren't really half for hating government.

Nope, I'm all-in on hating government. (BTW, so were our Founding Fathers in case you missed it)

Yes, you are.

When you come down from your high, you're not nearly as bright as you think you are, huh?

See? That's what I told you and mr. Blues. The political divide is rock solid defined!

(BTW, so were our Founding Fathers in case you missed it)
Right again! Surely your brain must be full.

I believe you are talking to a canuck, not even American, but has a lot of opinions about it for not even living here. You can tell it's an avid leftist by how it labels you as 'extremist' and doesn't even bother to debate any of the points you've made, i.e. a waste of O2.

Canada is where we sent all the Tories, aka; Loyalists after we won our Revolutionary War. The people who fought for Britain and against Patriotic Americans during our Revolution.

We didn't want to execute them, so we sent them to Canada. Almost as bad.

During our Civil War, 'draft dodgers, deserters, recruiters, plotters, and spies fled northward to take shelter in the attic that is Canada. Though many escaped slavery and found safety through the Underground Railroad, they were later joined by KKK members wanted for murder. Confederate President Jefferson Davis along with several of his emissaries and generals found refuge on Canadian soil, and many plantation owners moved north of the border'.

During our Viet Nam War, Canada was a favored destination for Draft Dodgers. Around 40,000 of them. Of course, the piece of fucking shit Jimmy Carter pardoned all of them -- HIS FIRST DAY IN OFFICE!! For no reason other than -- He was scum. May he roast in peace.

FUCK Canada and FUCK Canadians.

We get them by the truckload down here in Florida every Winter and, they suck. It's not just me, either. One of our favorite Bumper Stickers down here read --

HAPPINESS IS SEEING A CANADIAN HEAD NORTH

WITH A NEW YORKER UNDER EACH ARM

 
Health Care cost increases ARE 99% the fault of goobermint. For one very, VERY simple reason --

Cost Shifting.

That's an argument about the distribution of costs, not the costs themselves. It may be the case that older, retired people should be paying more and younger, working families should be paying less. But that's an argument about what portion of the pie each segment should be responsible for, it doesn't change the size of the overall pie.

There is a difference between political disagreements and polarization.

Racism isn't a political issue it's a personal one

Abortion laws are on the ballot and the people will decide what they want and as we have seen the pro choice people tend to win when abortion is on the ballot.

And I don't hate the government I just don't trust any one in the government

The fact is most people do not live their lives consumed by politics and just because the media which is controlled by just a few multinational conglomerates says something doesn't mean it's actually true.

Yes, it's personal if you like and it's polarized as we witness of this forum

The people will decide and half the people will be angry and will continue to fight for all or nothing.
And I don't hate the government I just don't trust any one in the government
That's your personal issue that needs some work IMO.

Of course it;s not all true.

You're trying to portray a moderate attitude.

You mean the few people on this forum who are racists? You think that is a barometer for the 3300000000 people in the country?

fight how? No one is going an a killing spree over abortion laws

And why do I have to trust anyone in government? You're an idiot if you do and that's your problem.

And I'm not playing anything.

My particular take on this is the most prevalent.

Less a couple of hundred million.

Got your opinion. Stay rational and polite and we'll talk some more when I have the time.
 
If the RWNJs would stop acting so contemptable I wuldn't hold them in such contempt.

But make no mistake, I do at the moment (apart from a few stand outs, and I think you know who you are) consider them pretty much the lowest of the low.

That gate swings both ways.
Has ever since politics got stated, back sometime about when humans learned to chip flint.
 

Why American politics are polarized:​


The linked article I'm referring to provides an insight into a problem that and many others, possibly you the reader, and I similarly perceive. But I've not been able, and the author hasn't suggested any feasible remedy.

Relative to this topic, I'm acquainted with at least one person in particular, who faults the Democratic Party for Medicare and the Affordable Care Act for his family's increased insurance and other medical costs. I contend that medical costs in particular are increasing more rapidly than other costs driven by inflation, due to many other than our government's policies regarding medical goods and services. Rapid advancements in technology have given us longer lifetimes, but not necessarily better lifetimes. The much fewer options available to us in the past were much less expensive than these medical advances we now expect to be provided for us.
(I remember when I purchased a car without air-conditioning because an air-conditioner for that economy model would have been an additional cost of approximately a quarter of the price I paid for the entire car).

I don't doubt substantial portions of automobile repair increases, (auto-body repair costs in particular), are due to insurance purchasers and third-party, (i.e insurance companies' practices). I also believe due to the law preventing government administration of prescription drug insurance and government's legal inability to negotiate prices charged for prescription drugs in USA marketplaces, my prescriptions cost more than otherwise.

Equity Bureaucrat Calls for Burning Down America


DEI has led to liberals hiring people to implement their ideology who are so dumb, they express their views openly and state the game plan out loud. From College Park, Maryland:


Kayla Aliese Carter supports “Black liberation” through revolutionary means and said she is working with some activists to plan “how we will eat and live and grow after we burn it all down.” She was hired to be a “Racial Equity Officer” under former Mayor Patrick L. Wojahn, who resigned from office after being arrested for child pornography.


Democrat leadership entails a distinctive moral character. As mentioned previously, Wojahn is a protégé of our Secretary of Transportation.


According to the city’s website, [Carter] assembled a team tasked with implementing a “racial equity” agenda across all city departments, affecting policies, practices, programs and budgets.


Her position resulted from leftists pressing their advantage during and after the Black Lives Matter race riots.


Carter was hired after former Mayor Wojahn signed into law “Resolution 20-R-16,” “which renounced systemic racism, declared support of Black lives, and called for the ongoing explicit and conscious confrontation of racism,” in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd in 2020. …


For her work in the city government, Carter makes $75,600, which is slightly above the average salary for the state at $69,750.


That’s a lot of money, considering how unlikely it is that this parasite has ever provided the public any benefit whatsoever. Taxpayers don’t even get gratitude:


According to her posts on X, Carter doesn’t appear to be enthusiastic about her role, and blames “capitalism” for forcing her to be in the workforce. She’d rather be a “collage artist” or a “lady of leisure,” she said on X in March and July 2023, respectively.


“Tired of being so underpaid also tired of applying to new jobs. I don’t wanna go back to s*lling dr*gs but this economy is getting desperate,” Carter wrote in October.


Wojahn must have been too busy masturbating to pictures of naked schoolboys to instruct Carter not to say stuff like this out loud:


The header for her X account says the following: “I can’t wait for society to collapse so MY ideology can rise from the ashes!”


That is the liberal plan for America in a nutshell.

The USA started out politically polarized over 250 years ago.
Alas, most "social scientists" are largely ignorant of history, especially the history of factors and political polarization during the War of Independence (from England). Or the confusion and complications of the earlier confederation that resulted in the Constitution.
 
Our reactions to anything we encounter are determined by our DNA, lifetime experiences, and logical thought processes. Entities can only affect people's opinions and elections to the extent that people accept what they read, or hear, and then, only to the extent they believe those messages are credibly true and/or logical.

Regardless if a foreign nation attempted to affect our elections, or if our laws and our congressional acts are less equitable and logical, the faults lie within ourselves rather than others. We the voters within our democratic republic choose those who determine the courses our nation should follow.

Trump was elected in 2016, Biden was elected in 2020, and the 2024 general elections will determine the Electoral College's elected members which in turn will determine our next presidential administration. Whatever will be the consequences of 2024's general election are dependent upon what's in our minds. Respectfully, Supposn
