I am so tired of seeing the words "conservative", "republican", "democrat" and "liberal" these days.

As well as words related to those. People are seemingly only using them as insults these days, instead of simple words to signify people's political views. The left hates the right, the right hates the left, and very few people seem to consider the other side.

Like, relax. Politics is a spectrum. Stop calling people nazis for being somewhere on the right side of the spectrum and libtards for being somewhere on the left. You definitely have SOME political views in common. You're all adults. Stop acting like 13-year-olds who just discovered 4chan.

I agree, but the Democrats need to stop the VIOLENCE, starting with members of the Senate who promote violence, like Maxine Waters, Cory Booker, Hillary Clinton and a several journalists.
Shut down Antifa and that would be a good start.

@Ynotisay Ynot - I'm sure there are many things that are puzzling to you.

@Budwick And with that I get to drain my swamp of the scum. Enjoy your alternate reality dude. I know how the real world can be scary for some. It's probably a better call for a 'man' like you.

@Ynotisay What do you mean us guys? I don't have as much access to American politics other than what I read and get from friends. But hey, if you want to discuss Trudeau and his dysfunctional Liberal cabinet, and since I work with the Feds, I'd be happy to enlighten you on several matters. Just sayin...
Sounds like politics has become bipolar. They either need meds or to cut down.

Funny thing. While we everyday citizens are out here bashing the crap out of each other, the politicians and deep state are laughing their as off taking our money to their bank.

@daisymay I am a little slow sometimes. I don't get it.

@Riverman Sure.

That's a pretty good suggestion. I think that people end up either hearing insults so much that they stop caring about civility without receiving it in kind, or they watch television and see the incivility of journalists, anchors, politicians, or angry mobs, and they just assume that since people they see on the boob tube are acting that way, they might as well too because there seems to be no stock in acting normal.

They are pretty much the same. They keep us divided. Amongst plenty of other things that divide and not unify us

I would have agreed with you about 10 years ago. No more. It's not about political ideology at this point. It's about how people view life.

PLUS, it's rare that a Republican or Democrat toes the party line on everything. I think most people are center-left or center-right. Many people decide issues rather than a blanket policy.

@uncalled4 Exactly!👍️👍️👍️

Exactly. People take politics so serious. What a bunch of republicrats.

Totally agree, wish we could sweep them all out and start over, just so contentious

Even "right" and "left" have become hateful words.

I think the parties should be completely disassembled and then every one is made to run on the merits of what they have accomplished in the past and on what their proposals are for the future.

I dunno ma’am. All that hatred has been happening for a while. Pretty sure it’s around to stay.

Word.

I'm getting more annoyed by the terms left and right these days to be honest. The left and the right don't actually exist anymore. There's no actual right and left dialogues happening any more. Just specific movements. The left and the right? These are both dead.
