Individually every American has the potential to debate political discourse, discuss issues logically and fairly, and solve the issues that face the nation as a whole.* Collectively, however, in the name of progress over the past several decades we have shackled ourselves from our ability to progress socially.* Our system of linear politics has drawn the battle lines for fights that can never end and no one can win.* Large portions of the media show willful bias while the other portions of the media constrain themselves from true freedom of the press.* We need to update our political theories to better suit our modern times.
Left means Democrat.* Right means Republican.* Boundary lines are important for constituents to align themselves politically.* These ideas are constraints that limit the public debate.* The same arguments are constantly repeated time and time again and again.* The issues that divide the nation havent changed in decades.* Our decisions at the voting booth decide which of the lesser of two evils will win the election this time.* The first Republican president was Abraham Lincoln, and were still arguing about race here in America.* New ideas and more perfect solutions can be brought to light.
Every media organization is accused of being biased towards the left or the right.* Any truth that may be found for such an accusation could be found by turning on your television or picking up your favorite newspaper.* Experts interpret the world for us on live TV instead of laying out facts that are documented and verifiable.* This is the reason we all have to make weekly visits to factcheck.com.* Advertising has risen as the major player for programming in America.* Without ratings there can be no advertising, and without advertising there can ultimately be no show.* The final consequence of these factors are stories focused on being sensational instead of informative.
The responsibility of the media should be to educate the public on current events and enable a platform for meaningful debate.* Yet the media, for some reason, must negotiate with political parties to hold a presidential debate (arguably one of the most important debates we as Americans view).* News organizations need to draw a hard line against being censored by politicians who, instead of answering to their political beliefs, answer pre-determined questions in order to publicize a party platform to the undecided voters.* The constitution declares freedom of the press, and the media organizations have the ability and responsibility to better exercise their constitutional rights in a better fashion than they have been doing presently and in years past.
In these modernistic times filled with Ipads, smartphones, and the world wide web our political process should update alongside these technologies.* Every four years candidates shout for freedom and demand transparency from the government.* Our ability finally exists to place every congressional meeting and every department of the government at the fingertips of children.* The potential to immerse the public in debates in the capitol and inform the public of the daily goings on is squandered by the leaders who call for it in front of the cameras.*** We need a three dimensional approach to our social issues that address the needs of the many while not restraining the rights of the few.* The power is in our hands but wasted on red carpets and greasy hair styles.
We have created a broken system of representation by a republic.* Weve placed internal barriers that keep us from speaking freely, adapting quickly, and accepting opinions that are not our own.* Words like bi-partisan give false hope for distant progress.* Informed Americans drew lines in the sand over the issues that divided them during their own time.* Their children never rubbed those lines out and drew their own.* Its time Americans broke the boundaries of linear politics created by generations gone and ended our war on ourselves.
