And next I suppose your going to tell me the pineapple is not an apple that grows on pine trees.

Personally, I'd like to see actions and laws put in place to help mitigate much of the stupid. Laws like term limits in the Senate, The House, and Governor offices. No more 20, 30, or 40 years in elected positions. Maximum limit for total campaign funds set at $100k. The amount of money that changes hands make campaigns a very profitable business for many politicians. Make it illegal for corporations and for profit groups to practice lobbying. Complete transparency for all funds used by any elected official. True oversight on non-elected positions in government with real consequences that match what would happen to the average citizen if they acted in the same manner.

If either party would just stop doing their best to spite the other and instead did their best to actually work with each other in a reasonable fashion most of the issues could be resolved. Instead they all want to play the blame game. When either party "tries" to work with the other they blame the other party for not cooperating when they don't completely capitulate to "their" views. Or they claim something should be "common ground" and then do their best to ensure it's entirely one sided. It's all stupid.

Just to be clear I'm not arguing for or against any party. My main point is that almost all of the issues the Left blames the Right for, the Right blames the Left for. These are just a few of them "Defund the Police" campaign endangering citizens while using campaign funds to hire private security. Antifa- Known extremist left group leading riots across the country. Multiple riots staged by busing perpetrators from city to city. Campaign funds from the left used to house and feed perpetrators of riots. Creating rules and circumstances that separated children from their parents and then blaming the right when they followed the laws they created. There was no coup attempt, at best it was a riot but was labeled a coup attempt in order to justify the holding without charge multiple US citizens in disregard to laws established at the founding of the country.

Which again, is exactly the same thing the right says about the left. Only they would be described as placing more power into the government while limiting the ability of regular citizens to remain independent and backing mega-corporations in a desperate bid to gain even more power for themselves. Whereas the right would describe themselves as being still about giving the public the ability to access basic necessities and improving their own lives while the left keeps doing more extreme stuff.
The reality is that the majority of both sides are the exactly the same. They just want to get on with their lives and have the ability to make it a good one.

Which is exactly the same thing the right says about the left.

You know there's a an old folk story similar to that glass landing on it's side question. It was about a machine that made salt when you turned it on. Gist of the story is it fell into the ocean and that's why they're salt water.
