I love how this thread constantly devolves into criticizing each other for simply having a different opinion. I’m not calling out a particular side here either... Everyone here is fucking guilty of it. Shit like this is why I vote split ticket. The moment people start calling each other extreme liberal or conservative, or the moment people start deeming the other party as evil, you get a polarized climate. This thread continues to prove my point every time I visit, and as a guy who works for the government, I can assure you it’s not nearly as bad as you all think it is.
Word to the wise as someone who’s actually worked in the shitshow and will be working there again real soon: get the fuck over it. The system is already designed for gridlock to prevent the government from getting too powerful. When unhealthy debate, which has been what’s occurring both here and in the real world, is occurring then nothing gets done.
And again, as someone who has worked in the shitshow(cause that’s what it is), I can respectfully say that none of you know what you’re talking about. The media? Most of them are morons. There’s only about four news sources nowadays that are actually worth reading from because they have no semblance of bias(AP, Reuters, the Print copy of Politico). The rest have agendas and that’s what’s really dividing people. Most of these guys down here don’t hate each other(barring some exceptions) but here y’all are arguing over something that won’t even come close to making it to the House or Senate floors.
It’s a pointless debate btw. The electoral college is never going to go away. So yeah. Get the fuck over it. Criticize it all you want, it’s flawed, but nothing is going to change. That would require a constitutional amendment and states like Wyoming, North Dakota, etc, would never go for it.
Get over Trump. The country has much bigger problems at hand right now(that the media, who’s only after ratings and a narrative, isn’t fucking paying attention to that I refuse to go over with any of you) and he’ll be gone in a year anyway and the next president can undo fucking everything he’s done.
Just because I disagree with practically all of you on something doesn’t mean I hate you(besides
@52520Andrew, I hope you rot in hell). I think society needs to relearn that lesson.
