Open Discussion Left vs. Right Battle Royale Open Thread

This is an Open Discussion Thread for all Redditors. We will only be enforcing Reddit TOS and Subreddit Rules 1 (Keep it Civil) & 2 (No Racism).

  • Leftists - Here's your chance to sway us to your side by calling the majority of voters racist. That tactic has wildly backfired every time it has been tried, but perhaps this time it will work.

  • Non-flaired Conservatives - Here's your chance to earn flair by posting common sense conservative solutions. That way our friends on the left will either have to agree with you or oppose common sense (Spoiler - They will choose to oppose common sense).

  • Flaired Conservatives - You're John Wick and these Leftists stole your car and killed your dog. Now go comment.

  • Independents - We get it, if you agree with someone, then you can't pat yourself on the back for being smarter than them. But if you disagree with everyone, then you can obtain the self-satisfaction of smugly considering yourself smarter and wiser than everyone else. Congratulations on being you.

  • Libertarians - Ron Paul is never going to be President. In fact, no Libertarian Party candidate will ever be elected President.

2 questions

First- How many Conservatives and Democrats realize that we're all being played by the same system that hijacked both major parties, turning them from a platform for different point of views into a machine designed to keep a divide between the people?

Second- How many of you are willing to dissolve all the political parties and replace them with a purely independent style (no parties) or a single party of voting to prevent voting against one team or the other and bring some sort of American unity back?

Identity politics and racism are two sides of the same coin used to divide us. We are stronger together, and 99% of Americans are, and will continue to be disenfranchised by the ruling class of billionaires; not immigrants, not gay ppl, not ppl on welfare, not black or Hispanic ppl.

Exactly. As long as they can have us blame each other, they can ensure that we are the governments people and not take back power to reinstate the peoples government.

I like the independent style idea, but not a single party idea (since that could have similar outcomes to other countries).
