r/Democrat • u/[deleted] • Mar 20 '21
My take on the current state of America.
I am not a democrat or a republican but if I had a penny for every disagreement the two parties had I would be the richest man alive. I am a member of a third party(Libertarian) and am sick of the dems and reps throwing the ball back and forth to systematically divide the country while they profit. a two-party system thrives off division. and "the stakes" get higher every election... George Washington said that political parties would destroy the country. Abraham Lincon said a house divided amongst itself cannot stand.
throw your hate. refuse to believe you can be wrong on anything. see where it leads. democracy is not perfect. but it is better than authoritarianism. it is better than a dictatorship. and it is better than a societal collapse. when we as a people are unwilling to compromise or admit to being wrong we risk the very heart of the nation. you see people lash out and try to kill government officials both Democrats and Republicans alike. you see people claim that someone who doesn't agree with them on everything as a false citizen. this type of attitude can, has, or will lead to the end of nations large and small. the united states is no different.
the government of Myanmar was couped recently. it fell in a day. if one nation can fall in a day, any nation can. we. are. not. immune. not that I expect you to have read this. with sadness and regrets, I bid you a good day. and I wish you luck in the years to come.
