      Touché

      It’s kinda sad that we ended up in this political division. It’s also sad that increasing hate and and anxiety (and missing education and reasoning) fuels this dumpfire of societal development. That doesn’t really increase hope in the future, as stuff like climate change further accelerates this…

        I don’t see it so much a political division as it is that most of the world is simply not very intelligent.

        I’m just pointing out that both sides think the other is dumb.

        And I don’t think either side is correct.

          And this is exactly why I don’t affiliate with either major party.

          I used to consider myself Republican because I was frustrated at the majority party (Democrat) always messing stuff up in my home state. I ended up moving for school to a red state, and the majority party there was always messing stuff up. It was then I realized that the problem isn’t with one party, it’s with politics in general.

          I registered with the largest third party in my state (happens to be Libertarian) and I vote for whatever candidate I think is least bad. In 2016, that was Gary Johnson, in 2020 it was Joe Biden, and in 2024 it was Chase Oliver. It doesn’t really matter who I vote for because the R candidate will always win with at least 20% margin, so I vote my conscience.

          I’m not saying both sides are the same, I’m saying both sides age liars and massive disappointments.
