Neither guy gave a shit from a moral standpoint.
Both guys were pro bankers.
And all of this was forewarned by George Washington in his last speech- it reads like it was written yesterday.
He cautioned that Political parties leads to loyalty of an ideology which is used to represent patriotism- therefore if one loses office-George said -watch the loser seek to gain office with vengeance in their hearts.
And that can cause the one who is sought after to unify- as a sole leader-and that sole leader can use the people to further their own ambitions.
Since then, political parties have divided the people.
We seem to think we need political parties.
We don't.
We didnt need it form the nation.
We didnt need it under the articles of confederation.
Why now?
Because it allows them to identify solutions from an ideology which in turn gives the people a platform- the people dont give the plaftform- they adhere to it.
And that platform according to GW, allows them to create additional cabinets, positions to fill. And then the people are forced to fund it via taxes.
We didnt need a department of education, department of foreign affairs, department of interior, etc, etc, this is the result of poitical parties' agenda.
Now we are a bloated government to which Politicians are no longer the main conduit to push such B.S.
Somehow via technology- the media as in radio, television impressed the people (liberals & conservatives) to find their truths via Rush Limbaugh,, Sean Hannity, Rachel Maddow, Anderson Cooper- the people in return -echo those sentiments and politicians as a result respond.
Think suckers like Ted Cruz how he went from a so called conservative agenda 2010-2016...then all of a sudden he starts accpeting the same shit from Rush's mouth- not correcting talkshow hosts, but appeasing to them.
China boats stocked with votes (right wing media)
bamboo in the voting paper (tright wing media)
Obama aint a U.S. born citizen (right wing media)
Michelle Obama hates USA, is a monkey in heels (right wing media)
covid vaccine turns you into a magnet (right wing media)
children in grade school need to learn their Gay-B-C's (mainstream media)
children have the right to a sex change (mainstream media)
Its time to use the Bible to marry gay people (mainstream media)
And then our politicians run on shit like that.
Dissolve the Union, deuces.
Personally, I think we should pay our politicians like we pay Uber/Lyft- pay them after they did the job.
If we have potholes across the nation- don't pay em.
"If we have to hear about healthcare, after Bush Jr said he solved it (Medicare part D for elder and HSA for workers) Obama said he solved it (Affordable Healthcare Act) and then Don said day one- he would repeal it, replace it-well that is the job of our legislative branch-
Paul Ryan stated before he left- Affordable Healthcare Act is the law of the land-
So we can put a man on the moon a helicopter on Mars, but we cant solve Healthcare over the stretch of 3 going on 4 presidents.
Not because that is their job- they sign or veto that is all.
It is the fault of the entire legislative brancgh that now caves in to advice from talkshow hosts, hollywooders and think tanks.
We follow along.
Dissolve the Union.
Imprison Senators & House Rep in the process.
We agree on political parties. All they do is provide opposing points of view on a wide range of issues... so that people can robotically latch on to whichever party suits their fancy. It eliminates individual thought. It discourages agreeing on one issue and disagreeing on another. If you're a Republican, you blindly agree with every damn bit of policy they've churned out on every topic imaginable. Democrats, likewise. No room for individual thought. If you disagree on part of the platform... you're branded a traitor and banished from the Party.
Under the Cheeto-in-Chief (another stolen nickname), this polarization (let's call it what it is) has become even worse. It has driven supposed educated men, like Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham, to perform the most shameful of flip-flops... where suddenly everything they "stood for" at some point in time, is now wrong... and vice versa. This polarization monster spawned by political parties and now accentuated by Donald Drumpf (I'll keep on stealing) has not only removed most of the gray matter between the ears of many elected government officials... it has also surgically removed backbones. And don't even get me started on the gray matter (or lack thereof) of the legions of voters who will plunge off the nearest available cliff, Pied Piper style, for the braindead, spineless officials they support.
Which brings me back to the purpose of this thread. It's not just stumbling Biden or the Orange Slug. It's the riffraff that increasingly fills the halls of Congress, a place that used to at least resemble a place of logic... a place of order... a place of equanimity... a place of national pride. There have always been goofballs and outcasts in Congress. But they used to be the exception, rather than the rule. All of a sudden, in comes Diaper Don and all hell has broken loose in Congress. We have to put up with spineless flip-floppers like Cruz and Graham... and human trash like Gaetz and Taylor Greene.
But back to your point on political parties. No... there is no good reason they should have ever existed. They make people into polarized automatons. Republicans could add "taking a dump on neighbors' lawns" into their platform... and the hats and T-shirts would soon follow. It's all or nothing, no brains required. Check your principles at the door, please.

They fight a war to gain independance from Britain at the help of the French. They win, then want to adopt the governing system they killed to free themselves from?
