James Carville has it right. He has done all this work for the Democratic party and his wife has done all this work for the Republican party. So the fuck what. Their house is not divided. They can still live under the same roof without hate and having a civil war with each other!

Most people are just too busy out earning a living to feed their families to put into practice the type of BS that TV and news outlets are trying to sell.
Growing up I would watch all the movies and TV shows and awards shows that told me Hollywood was this magnificent place. Who would not want to be a part of all that glitz and glamor? I was hyped up and sold. Then one day I was in the Navy stationed in San Diego. Drove up to LA to check out this kick ass place called Hollywood. Turns out it was just as normal a neighborhood as anywhere I had seen before.
I walked in to Burger King and placed my order the same way I would have done in any other place on earth. The real Hollywood was nothing like the Hollywood I was sold through TV, movies, and music all of my life. And the real America is not the bullshit they are trying to sell through the same media. Walk outside to see a wide-angle view of what the real America is.

1. The history of US political parties has everything to do with the subject. The United States was founded by wealthy white men for the benefit of wealthy white men. Initially you had to be a wealthy white man to have any say in which wealthy white men get to make the rules. Consider the fact that until the Civil War the balance was deliberately maintained to keep slavery legal. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you, but US political parties work together to protect the interests of wealthy white men.
2. Point 1 has nothing to do with the people who are aligned with each party. With the exception of a small number of wealthy white men, every voter is just a pawn.
3. I was born in a US Naval hospital, both my parents were born in the US. One side of my family has been in the US for 5 generations. The other side was here for 9 generations before the Revolution. I served 8 years in the US Navy. Except for 1 year living in Colombia, I've lived in the US for nearly 60 years.
4. I don't watch the News. Except for sports and an occasional movie, I don't watch TV. Television is a passive medium. TV goes on and brain goes off. It's why I keep stressing "qualifications. " Anyone can repeat what they've been told. That's precisely what almost everyone does. Very rarely does anyone think about the things they've been told.
5. I never said there isn't political division in the US. In fact I said that it became an us versus them issue with Reagan. Another analogy for you. Two gangs. Both sell drugs. They fight each other. Why? Because the leader of each gang wants to be the one who controls the drug trade. The leaders get all the money and the regular gang members do all the fighting and dying. Neither political party has made huge changes which benefit 99% of Americans. Instead they offer small rewards and blame everything on the other party.
6. The Democratic party doesn't want socialism. People who want socialism, align with the Democratic party. If the DNC wanted socialism they wouldn't have sabotaged Bernie Sanders in 2016. They were willing to lose the 2016 election, rather than risk having Sanders in a position to steer the party left. The GOP only went with Trump because none of their other options had any chance to win.
7. The first step towards learning what's really happening is to turn off your TV. As long as you're being fed your opinions by your favorite talking head, you'll be stuck with only one option when someone disagrees with you. You'll have to resort to being a dick. The reason is simple. You haven't found the answers for yourself, so you have no ammunition for a rebuttal.
8. I'm who I am. I don't make outrageous claims about myself. What I do, which really offends many people, is ask questions. Asking questions is a very cruel thing to do, because it forces the person to choose between thinking for themselves, or to get angry.
That's all the time I have for today. I know I missed a lot of your rant, but most of that was the version you were fed by your favorite television mouthpiece and has very little to do with what has really gone on. Feel free to respond however you wish.

Now 10 of the 15 Brooklyn Nets have Covid. New York, the second bluest state there is, is at an all time high with Covid because of those damned unvaxxed Republicans. But all the Brooklyn Nets are vaccinated. Who cares? Wear your masks, stay safe, stay home, social distance, quit your job, half of some NFL teams are infected, those damned unvaxxed Republicans are going to kill us all! Get your damned vaccine you pussies!
Except no one is sick. Yeah, almost all the athletes testing + are not symptomatic.
So Roger Goodell, the NFL commissioner and as big a Democratic douche sponsored by Pfizer as there is, just stopped testing for vaccinated players. Yes, after half the players on some teams that were up to 98% vaxxed are testing +, he stopped testing them.
Goodell went on to say, "I do not want to confuse people about the vaccine. I am stopping testing on vaccinated players because I do not want to be the one who is blamed for saying the vaccine does not work to prevent transmission. The more players who test +, the more we look like lying Democratic douches. " Okay he did not say that but he may as well have.
And finally, the NFL players have had enough. Players were polled, and a majority have been bitching to the union to stop all the damned testing. It is one thing to see your fellow players sick and near death, but another when you have worked all year, and half your team mates who are feeling fine have tested + and cannot play.
Even though all the data now has shown this brand of Covid is so mild that it may be less powerful than the flu, all the "science" douches are flipping out. When you got NFL players saying we have had enough of this shit, and their living is their bodies to me, that is a sign that this fucking thing may finally be over.

There's a guy in the American politics forum in the opinions section called EihTooms. He argues that Republicans through bad economic policies have presided over and / or caused all of the recessions and crashes over the last 100 years. I don't entirely agree but he's mostly right. He's also a big partisan Democrat, so if you want to sharpen your iron on this one in a big way go check him out. And unlike me, he'll argue until the cows come home. I've never seen someone so tireless. Wink.
P.S. As to all major party politicians not caring about their constituents, some surely don't, some care a lot about them, and others have very mixed motives. It's hard to get so black and white when talking about complexities like human character. And it's said that democracies, or democratic republics more specifically represent the best of all the imperfect systems of government, and that's probably true.
Happy Holidays everyone.

You have forced my hand good sir. I have to be a dick because you posted total non-sense and you did it with a smug attitude. What you have posted is blasphemy. I want to try to give you a pass because your not American and you don't live here so you don't see everyday how divided the nation has become, but certainly you watch the news and you see things like the constant race riots where they literally burn cities down. You must have seen the January 6. Insurrection where thousands of far right wing extremists took over my nation's capital and tried to stop my President from taking office. The policies the Democrats are pushing are beyond extreme to most Republicans. Free Health Care, 7 Trillion $ Federal budget, Green New Deal, Support for slave reparations, No more Oil pipe lines after they have been approved between nations and workers have been hired to start construction, Completely open southern border, Support for immigrant voting rights, No right to defend yourself or your property, Socialism! Socialism! Globalism!! End of nationalism. The list goes on! What the fuck bro? There is absolutely no similarities between the policies of the Republicans and Democrats. They have never been more divided and taken such different stances regarding the issues I just listed. You try to come off like some smug clever guy, but your content just doesn't make sense. And I am definitely not going on some highway rant analogy to prove my point LOL. Recent polls show close to 50% of Americans would not be surprised if a civil war broke out. This is because of the fundamental social and economic policies each party are advocating are so vastly different. I mean if you are comparing Republicans and Democrats to the Soviet Union, ok, yeah then maybe they are kind of similar, but that's like stating the "sky is blue". Are you that out of touch with reality that you think people are so uneducated they don't know the differences between American political systems and that of a failed communist state? I can't grasp this concept that someone actually posted that and claims to follow American politics and tries to come off like an Oxford Scholar in his approach in how he preaches down to people he feels are not qualified.
Oh I forgot, Disclaimer: The above post is the total humble opinion of the very unqualified RamDavidson84. RamDavidson84 cannot be held accountable for the stupidity in the replies to the post above. LOL.
LOL, I didn't want to be a dick again, but you gave me no choice. I get what you guys are arguing, please don't take my post to heart and feel free to roast me as much as you like for anything in my post you disagree agree with.

About 20 years ago my brother in law, a staunch Republican was on a rant that Democrats were trying to destroy the country. I asked him a simple question. Would you rather die from being poisoned, or from being stabbed? That's the difference between Democrat and Republican. Either way you're going to die. Either way you're going to suffer.

In this case JustTK is correct. There is very little difference between Republican and Democrat. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess this is another area where you have no qualifications. Most people don't. Instead, they repeat what they are told. In reality, the difference is minor.
A quick study of US history will show you that the differences are negligible.
Imagine an interstate highway. There are 3 lanes in each direction. The US government drives down the middle lane. When the Democrats are in power, they usually pass in the left lane. When Republicans have the wheel they prefer the right lane. The direction of travel doesn't change.
There have been a few potholes. Republicans backed abolition, Democrats opposed it. Democrats backed the Civil Rights Act, Republicans opposed it. It wasn't until Reagan came along that it became an us against them issue. The polarization has intensified, but the differences are minor.
The GOP aren't the Saints and the Democrats aren't the devils. They are just 2 groups fighting for power. Neither of them give a crap about you or I. Neither one gives a damn about the country, the Constitution or anything other than being the group that gets to sit in the driver's seat.
