  • Nations are made of people, that make local gov, that make state govs. We need to change the smallest part that makes up the rest of the machine before you can “fix” the 2 party system.

    Everyone keeps taking about the DNC like it is some colossus. We can either change it to our liking or make our own, but either way it starts by changing the smallest parts first.




  • I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not, but that’s part of the problem. They complain a lot but refuse to either fix their own baggage that makes them unattractive or refuse to lower their own standards… It’s EXACTLY like someone complaining about not finding a job, while not applying.

    That is semantics friend. You’re describing semantics. We disagree on the meaning of a word, because colloquially it means one thing while it means something else in other definitions.

    Also your analogy is bad. You’re describing a generalization or the formation of a stereotype.

    Correcting language IS NOT how you correct ideas. You correct ideas by making people experience a difference in emotion.

    Still missing my point. I agree with your stance wholeheartedly. It’s a semantics problem. The point of communication is to get an idea across, and you’re hard stuck on this pictures usage of the word liberal.

    I don’t know if you’re not from the US, but I am, and what I’ve described is how that word is interpreted in the US.

    Count on the Internet to bring out the pedantic comments. “Liberal” is the word used to describe pretty much anything on the “Left” in the USA.

    Keep making your divisive posts about the “Liberals” vs the “Left” though. Trying to make sure you aren’t boxed in with any other “Left” pointing groups will definitely help bring people together to change the current state of things…
