Do you ever listen to anything Gaga says? The more divided we are, the easiest it is for hate and terror to win. You stand against a man who intends to build walls but you're also in favour of building walls? The answer is not separating and ignoring that an issue exists. The answer is in coming together and figuring out how the issue can be minimized for everyone. 

Man it wasn't that long ago we were all living in the jungle, so why do we gotta put each other down when there's more than enough love to go around?

**** that. That strategy no longer works. Conservatives no longer will work with anyone outside their ideologies and the democrats have tried to compromise for far too long. It's done nothing but shattered everything we've stood for. The time for nice is done. Fascism is on the rise, for the next four years we fight.

But what was being suggested was that each side should ignore each other and live peacefully far away from each other. Thats oviously not gonna happen cuz we know thats just not how human kind functions. The best thing that could happen would be achieving some sort of agreement, which was what I was suggesting. War is never the right answer. It's better that some keep compromising and falling into the chantaje.mp3 than generating chaos.

The last time this idea was taken seriously seven hundred and fifty thousand American's lost their lives.

Thankfully I'm not American, so I wish them good luck to find a way to find common grounds between those two mentalities. 

Sometimes with some people you just have to say f*ck it and quit the battle. 

I just feel like it's a hopeless case

In spite of the division, the United States has survived far more tumultuous time periods (I'm looking at you, 1960s). The solution (in my view) is to change the Constitution. Our system just isn't working. We need proportional representation stat and ranked choice voting. The first-past-the-post is ****ing everything up and exacerbating both sides of the aisle. We need third parties and a more parliamentary system that forces opposing ideologies to work together. We need a cultural change to remind people that everybody has something to contribute and that no single side is 100% right.

Thank you for posting this. 

 

As far as I'm concerned, there will be a special 2017 election after a Federal Judge ruled that the state of North Carolina was found to discriminate against POC voters with "surgical precision" and this is why it is important for EVERY DEMOCRAT/ INDEPENDENT TO COME OUT TO VOTE AND VOTE THOSE BASTARDS OUT. 

TYT made a video about this incident.
