So damned sad.

I have been watching from afar and the division seems to only get worse. I'm so pleased that Trump lost but from what I've seen and watched the division only gets worse. Does anyone really care about this division and does anyone truly want unity? It truly beats me. As an Australian, I neither am a Democrat nor a Repuplican. I have nothing invested in USA politics exept to say what does happen over there affects the whole world, as insulated you may feel.

Unity seems to scream "shut up and obey" so, no, plenty of people don't want that.

@SW-User "Shut up and obey" You don't want or approve of unity I gather? What exactly do you want? Equal pay for equal work, no discrimination with regards work? Your views might be interesting if you'd care to share.

@Zoranna Freedom to live life without much government interference, even if it mean sacrificing the illusion of safety. The government creates more problems than it pretends to solve. They can't be trusted with "equality" especially. That's up to ordinary people.

@SW-User It [b]is[/b] up to ordinary people, respect others and do no harm. Isn't that what everyone wants? Every nation has a government and it's up to the people to decide who they want to govern. It's entirely up to the people. My freedom has never been impeded by whatever political party is elected by the people. It's called "Democracy".

@Zoranna The major parties are two fists of the same body. And I don't know about Australia, but in the U.S., we're currently in a huge struggle with our own government. People of all affiliations aren't happy with it and that's why things are a mess right now.

@SW-User I'd be interested to know what you mean by a "huge struggle". The PEOPLE have spoken surely, that's what elections are for.
SW-User
@Zoranna I get the feeling you have no idea what I'm saying. No matter who wins an election, people aren't going to be happy or satisfied because there is a problem with our government.

@Zoranna Or maybe you're the one trying to make some point that's going over my head. Either way, I've got other things to do. Have a good one.
