Thank you Trumpanzee and the GOP for ALL the hate, anger, fear and sustainable violence. These products are far more profitable than cheese, milk, vegetables in WI and all the Red states.
For me personally there is no reason to save the system. The two party system has to be reformed to allow more parties a legitimate chance to win. That wont happen unless the constitution is amended that allows proportional electoral votes instead of winner take all. Which means you have to run inside one of the parties even if you have disagreements on a specific issues that the majority of that party will disagree with you on. I'm voting Green Party here in Pennsylvania knowing its worthless. But wont vote Democrat because of fundamental differences with the party. My options are immigrate overseas or deal with it and hate America. Obviously immigrating sounds more reasonable but then you factor in everyone in your life you would be completely leaving. Its literally a hopeless situation.
Americans are polarized because the people are sick.
great piece and so true. unfortunately I don't see these issues and steps to truly address them gaining the support in government because there aren't enough honorable people in these positions. I truly hope I'm wrong because the longer we ignore these issues……
I have to imagine that any logical and reasonable person should be able to agree that we need ethics, truth in advertising regarding political ads, districts not drawn up in a partisan manner….
That’s every state, major cities & college towns go blue and everything else is unreasonably red
As a Wisconsinite, I agree, hate is the agenda for both Political Parties & it's sickening.
This interview hit the nail on the head. Great Men! There is no penalty for lying about the opposition. There is no bipartisanship. We have become paralyzed with polarization.
I agree with everything they said but I would add that the media is up there with political parties causing division
great interview
1st!
No more old white men in goverment
