This deserves it's own thread

100% this, political tribalism has killed political discourse and it's gotten so much worse ever since 2016. You're either an evil racist fascist or you're an America hating communist these days.

I really want to but I’m nervous that that would give the one side who continues to vote the party line a major advantage.

Then stop voting in republicans and democrats.

We sorta already did this.

Trump was/is the anti-Establishment America-first populist giving the middle finger to China and other Globalist/Collectivist schemes, ending thousands of business-stifling regulations designed to keep the Elites rich and in power while holding down ascending competition.

Everyone else from Hillary to Biden to Warren to Harris to Pete to Bernie to Cruz to Rubio to Bush, and so on (except maybe Rand) are ALL shills to the corporate and foreign country Elite.

And you know how we know Trump isn't? Because they ALL hate him. They hate him because he's a detriment to their wealth, power, and status. Because he wants to change the things that manufacture that wealth, power, and status in our Establishment and Corporate Elite, with the intent to create wealth and upward mobility for the middle and lower classes.

And what kills me is how so many people don't/won't/can't process this fairly simple logic.

The Establishment attempted what can only be categorized as a twenty-first century first-world Gen-Z soft-coup against the man. Multiple attempts, if we want to be precise. And the "Republicans" didn't really do a goddamn thing to prevent it, reciprocate (which is overwhelmingly warranted), or get some actual justice.

And on top of this, they attempted a real life lynching of a SCOTUS candidate just to try and stick it to Trump, too.

They hate the man. They all do. And because of this, simple logic says he's the 3rd party candidate, and anyone who believes the Establishment, and their media arms, and anything they say about the man, is a complete fool.

The guy is a ineloquent buffoon who says and does some stupid shite, but if the Establishment hates him and is doing evil lawless horrible shite to try and destroy him, there MUST be a reason for this. And again, logic says it's because he's a threat to their wealth, power, and status. Because I know damn well the Establishment only cares about themselves. We are merely ants for them to exploit for their benefit.

And I don't have a solution to this issue. It's beyond complex and going to take much more than simply saying stop voting for the R or D. Because too many people are asleep at the wheel, mislead, deceived, and brainwashed to believe things that aren't so. And not voting for the R or D only gifts the Establishment an advantage.

There is no mechanism or process to turn this system into a 3-way competition. It doesn't exist, and the forces with all the power are too powerful to allow it. And that's a gross understatement, too.

What Trump did is the only way to shoe-horn in an anti-Establishment entity. A party has to be hijacked, gutted from the inside out, and re-shaped. That's the ONLY way.

And as we can see, very clearly, that's apparently an insurmountable task.

With that statement are you conceding that he won fair and square?

Was there a hidden excerpt at the end,

Not sure what you're pointing at.

The video?

I feel like i listened to two lesbians on NPR argue about the taste of paprika. Did I not listen long enough?

I'm confused by your tactics.

Maybe. But I do understand what you mean. I was like that at the beginning of watching Tim Pools' show, too.

Some soy-boi lookin millennial in a beenie acting middle of the road, but clearly leans left... and now he's got some hippie soy-Jesus guy you'd expect to be in Antifa with him.

I get it. But the draw is going back maybe a couple years and watching the progression of Tim, a Progressive, get totally red-pilled and the light come on about the Left. And then about 5 months ago Adam joins the show, a complete anti-Trump Progressive, also slowly get red-pilled to the point he now says he's going to vote for Trump because he realizes, after all the discussions and research they do for the show every day, that the Left and Dems are ripping the country apart.

Get past what they look and sound like and just pay attention to what they're saying, while understanding that these use to be 2 hardened Progessives who's job it is to podcast as many points of view from as many sources as they can find, and in the process of doing this, they have effectively flipped 180 degrees on their beliefs and perspectives with regards to ideologies and who they think is good and who's bad.

Tim continues to act like he's politically agnostic, because he grew up on the Left and virtually all his friends, plus a chunk of his viewer-base are on the Left. But it's beyond obvious at this point what's happened and where he stands. He'll just never admit it. Adam, on the other hand, has said frickit and openly admitted he's now voting for Trump. And has facts upon facts to justify his change of heart.

These guys do 3-5 hours worth of podcast a day, nearly every day. So the amount of content is extraordinary. These guys aren't in some bubble or echo-chamber. They make their own news and report data and have discussions from all sides and points of view.

And they aren't the only ones. Jimmy Dore, Dave Rubin, Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, the Weinstein brothers, among others... are all Lefties and/or self-proclaimed Progressives. And this "epiphany/awakening" has happened to all of them.

These are the biggest YT podcast personalities in the world. They have millions and millions of viewers. And to watch them all go from seemingly Progressive toadies to consistently shitting on Woke Leftist Culture and recognize it's THE problem, has been fascinating... and a relief.

This particular video I linked, IMO, had incredibly insightful content that made me re-think my attitude about all Lefties being hopeless to have civil discussions with. Their discussion made me feel like if I give up talking to them, then I'm essentially ending all chance to try and open their minds to truth, while also closing mine off from other possible truth. This is how you get stuck in an echo-chamber bubble, when you stop interacting with a certain group and you refuse to be open-minded.

If you didn't get this from the video, yeah, you probably didn't watch enough of it.

We need term limits. I know people say we already have them every four years, but that's really not the case when you have big business involved in politics. Our founding fathers never meant for the job as a politician to be a career. They invisioned a lawyer or doctor giving up their practice for a few years in order to serve their country, not make a 40 year career out of it. Let's face it, if a Congressman or President didn't have to worry about getting re-elected, they would probably do what's in the best interest of the country.

Also, the press has made things that much more divided. It's good for ratings to have the country so divided. If we all got along and did what's best for the country, that would be boring and uneventful.
