I haven't read all the posts in this thread. This kind of discussion drives me nuts. All of this labeling-type crap of 'liberals are a waste of humanity', 'republicans idiots', and on and on. It's stupid to paint either side in such a broad, general way. Most of you guys that debate politics can't even acknowledge that the other side has any validity to their point of view whatsoever...which is foolish and also not effective debating. Why are you all debating? Do you really hope to change anyone's mind by going back and forth this way? This kind of discourse does not help solve our problems. You don't change anyone's mind. In fact, you end up making the opposition more routed in their position, more defensive and less willing to consider your views. It's fucking stupid and annoying. Are you just debating to try and compensate for low self-esteem? You need to come off sounding like you have all the answers so you can feel better about yourself? You're not fooling anybody. Political discourse in this country is a joke. There are nuts on all parts of the political spectrum. For the most part though, we all want the same things. We just disagree about how to get there. Neither party has a monopoly on the Truth.
It's like watching a bunch of children bicker.
Sorry if I ruffle some feathers here, I just think we can do better than this.
