POLL: Do you WANT to heal our divisions?

Do you WANT to see our divisions healed?


  • Total voters
    70
The evidence shows that. A press secretary that can’t lie her way out of a paper bag, and a SCOTUS Justice that doesn’t understand the basic purpose of the Bill of Rights.
You imagine disagreement means incompetence but that's just you being emotionally fragile.
 
Yes!

I want to heal our divisions.

Immediately after:
  1. the Pedophiles have been identified and removed,
  2. All the Secret patents and classified documents have been published on WikiLeaks,
  3. after the Financial Vampires have been staked through the heart, and
  4. after the Satanic Reptilian Overlords running the UniParty have been vaporized and cast into the void.

Right. I suspect about half of those who answered the poll in the affirmative share your perspective. You want to heal the divide by eliminating opposition. That's a fantasy.

No, not all the opposition, just the Pedophiles, Financial Vampires, and Satanic Reptilian Overlords
 
I’ll have to catch up on this thread but based on the original post I am in the camp of not really worried which isnt a choice. Everyone always thinks they have it rougher, the country is worse, kids are lazier, their opponents are more evil..blah blah blah. It happens in every era and every generation. This is nothing new. This is what happens when a fat society has few worries… they make up shit to worry about.

The biggest issue in our instability is the massive amount of people who want to tear it all down vs fix it. Meh. They wont win. People are too comfortable in their lives to ruin it all. Bet.
 
In April, the House of Representatives passed three bills to hand out money to Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, and other non-U.S. involved conflict zones around the world.

The Democrats waved Ukrainian flags on the floor of the United States House of Representatives as they voted to send $60 BILLION of taxpayer money to secure a foreign border.

The legislation did nothing to support America’s open southern border.

In the last month, Republicans under Speaker Mike Johnson’s leadership have given up a $1.2 trillion spending bill with more support from Democrats than Republicans, reauthorization for warrantless searches of Americans under FISA Section 702, and funding to secure foreign borders but not our own.

**They are all in on it together kumbya. Your merge is already happening.
 
Some people say our divisions are not that big a deal, that we've seen them before. Personally I don't think that's true. One thing that concerns me the most is the amount of people who don't seem to WANT our divisions healed. It seems they'd rather have some kind of final, winner-take-all war, thinking the other side can somehow be eliminated.

Do you want to see our divisions healed? It would certainly require communication with people who disagree with you, and you would have to bend somewhat, regardless of where you stand politically.


America has that winner take all mentality that is deeply ingrained in America culture

Most states (except 2 and the District of Columbia award all their delegates to the winner based on vote count which is a winner take all mentality

Sports have the winner take all but does make some exception in ties based on what sport and its rules when there is a tie. Eventually they will call it a tie or have a one shot match to determine winner.

It has never happened before in America, not in any generation or era, and I think you know it.

There is nothing holding us together anymore. Nothing.

So let it fall. I really do not care.
 
No doubt the further the person existed on the scale, the less likely they'd be to bend. The same goes for both ends.

That's why it's critical that those who honestly want to collaborate have to have more influence. How does that happen in our present condition? I don't know.
Start by realizing you are dealing with many parties(persons) who have values and principles that are absolute to them, and which they don't want to "bend" on.

Human history is filled with difficulties in finding a place of compromise that is acceptable to both sides.
Which is why history is filled with conflicts and wars.

In context of the many threads and posts that circle around this sort of topic, a fundamental is that each/opposite sides have different definitions of "what's good for the country".

For example:

One side wants Equal Opportunity with gains/rewards proportional to effort & investment. Do a lot - get a lot; Do little - get little; be happy and accept where you end up.

Other sides wants Equality, or Equity; everyone gets an equal share/part. Of course human nature seldom works that way, mainly because those who do more, notice that those who do less get just as much, so the 'do mores' do less, since there's no gain for them to do more. So long is everything is left up to free will. Of course history again shows that before things get to the point that nothing is getting done and every one will starve, usually a bully group of thugs will take control and make the rest work or feel the whip.

That’s crazy. The entire country is the biggest economic engine in the world. We have the most amazing national park system in the world. Our sports and entertainment industries are the envy of the world and dominate popular culture everywhere. We have the best universities in the world. We have the best food in the world. We have the strongest military in the world. We are a great nation with an infantile loud minority of MAGA babies who think the sky is falling cuz an orange bird said so.

Grow a pair.

Oh you mean half of us are no longer bigots, homophobes, xenophobes, racists, etc?

Nah, you still mean it. And I still don't care. Talk to the wall.

Ah. So the country is fine, you just want all opinions to be treated equally even racist bigoted homophobic and xenophobic ones? I mean… I go throughout my entire day without anyone accusing me of being any of those. Why can’t you?
 
You couldn’t get to DC from Canada in those days. The british fleet sailed from the UK direct to the Chesapeake, just like the fleet that attempted to invade New Orleans did to the Mississippi Delta. The only invasion route from Canada that didn’t involve weeks to months of traversing howling wilderness was down the Hudson Valley to New York.
I don't believe that.
