Why?

because honestly, it seems like both are just flavors of the same exact raw sewage

The US was actually very polarized before WWII. It only really came together in the past decades. There was a left press and a right press. Enthusiasm was usually high.

Centrists are an endangered species on both sides of the aisle

the only difference is the color and military spending

The founding fathers warned against a 2 party system...

What has changed is that the parties are more homogenous than back then and federalism is not as strong.

I am rare

The US can actually survive partisanship. But it needs to be able to function locally.

Oh no

Yes, a 2 party system seems to be causing a significant amount of problems.

CA is coming in

Clearly the answer is to impose a Catholic Theocratic Republic across America to restore order and the way to God

Newsom is projected to win

Oh, don't tease me, Red.

Blue states staying blue in cali so far

Rorbacher race is literally 50/50

lol

I'm sure there are liberals who feel the same about democrats... If we got rid of parties, we could just vote for who we thought would best represent...but I don't see that happening - too much $$ in control

If it was 2010, I'd jump on that boat, Red.

But right now? No, absolutely not.

@DrYuriMom go talk with your local politicians. You might be able to change some minds or be surprised. Local races can be very different from national races.

Francis pisses you off?

Is meditation a valid praying method under Christianity? Hmmm

Heresy tends to ruffle my feathers, yes.

Technically, prayer is a form of meditation

@PD Yes, frustrations with parties is mounting on both sides.

See, I can't see myself on either party's side. But I think the Dems are far more dangerous because they have the media attention

Yes, we have a tradition of meditation stretching back centuries.

@Rouqen It is if you focus it on Christ

I am a non religious meditator
