Why does it seem that Americans now base your worth as a person on which political party you subscribe to?

It's absurd. As if that were the ONLY criteria for deciding a person's value. Not whether they are a good parent, not whether they help others, not whether they are compassionate.

Honestly, THIS is why I am sick of politics. There is NO common sense left any more.

Guess how much I'm hated? I'm at the point where I'm completely disappointed with both parties.

@SW-User That is exactly where I am at Bam and I don't give a damn if others approve or not. If I cannot cast a vote in complete confidence, why even bother. Seems to be giving in instead of demanding better candidates.
Peaceful · F
@SW-User exactly! If more people would get on board with this, things would have to shift.
Peaceful · F
@SW-User this!!!

It'll chill after election crap is over. Massive amounts of people are not able to think for themselves. They're weak. They follow.
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@StokedFox True, but We can stop playing the government's game.
StokedFox · 36-40, F
@GeistInTheMachine I don't play games, any of them and I suffer for it. I'm okay with being uncomfortable. If we could just have a revolution.
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@StokedFox Revolution starts with the individual. Could be slowly, but surely. Over time.

Both parties are wretched shit that hold the country back, and it's sad that many Americans still buy into the duopoly.

@Peaceful They need to teach more classes in CRITICAL thinking :)
Peaceful · F
@SW-User you misunderstand. They want us as sheep. It serves them and their pockets well.
SW-User
@Peaceful Oh, I know what they want! lol

I’m a liberal and have plenty of conservative friends, some of whom voted for Trump, others who despise him.

I have no problem with conservatives or Republicans in general, even those who voted for Trump, because they felt the alternative was worse.

But sorry, I do judge people who are all in for this destructive, racist, con artist.

All politicians are not alike.
SW-User
@luckranger71 I understand what you mean. I reject either ETHICS though (if they are misaligned). Not just that they voted for someone I don't support.

Voting is very strange these days, the TV station are so pathetically biased towards the left or the right. It would be nice to see decent honest news reporting
SW-User
@nedkelly It would be nice to see those with opposing views LISTEN to one another and respect the differences instead of trying to rip each other to shreds.

It’s not just Americans, look at comments by our own British cousins. They espouse opinions on subjects which not only are they woefully uninformed about but also don’t effect them in the slightest.
SW-User
@xixgun That is a really odd thing, isn't it?
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
I guess those people have simplistic thinking.
SW-User
@cherokeepatti That's insane.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@SW-User Yes it is. She was ranting on FB almost every day. Now she is writing 4 books all at the same time. I think her daughter might have suggested that.

SW-User
I can’t answer, because I don’t get it either.
SW-User
@SW-User But you've picked up on this too?
SW-User
It’s hard not to pick up on the venom infecting this country these days. @SW-User
SW-User
@SW-User It's so out of control. And who is it helping? And what is it solving? Not a damned thing as far as I can see.
SW-User
Because they act like frikkin children about politics 🙄
SW-User
@SW-User They do!!
SW-User
@SW-User especially if they don't want wins.
SW-User
Because Americans are stupid
SW-User
@SW-User I don't know about that. I think that maybe they are emulating their leaders?
SW-User
@SW-User which our leaders are stupid. Lol
SW-User
@SW-User Yes. Yes they are. There is NO humanity left in politics. No reason. NONE.

I wish I could say "only in America" . Although it does seem to be more extreme there..
fun4us2b · M
Both parties have strayed far from a realistic value system a person can wholly adopt
Not everybody's like that. Thank goodness. :)
SW-User
@lovelywarpedlemon No, thankfully they aren't.
SW-User
Are you American?
SW-User
@SW-User Yes, I am.

Being judgemental is a survival skill
