In an era of team-sport politics, voters defend their side no matter what—leading to zero consequences for failure. The result? Exploding $39T debt, looming Medicare collapse in 2040, and incumbents winning 88% of the time. This essay examines how negative partisanship shattered accountability and what history says comes next. Uncomfortable but essential reading.
Age limits need to be established for all members…as well as service time limits…Congress..the third part of our government was created to be in touch with the people they represent.
Amazing and very interesting article. I’m from the UK, so this might affect me as well. Seeing the gap between the two parties and knowing that neither side is right, especially when it comes to taking accountability.
Your information is important but too many words are slurred therefore please slow down a bit. Thank you. Keep up the excellent communication with us 🙏👏
And I really wanna tell you that I appreciate that feedback!! Because I need to get the right formula before I start going live. So I need feedback like that… it's the only thing that helps me grow. ❤️
Thank you, Alinda. I know!! I really need to work on that. It's my ADHD. That's why I have the transcription in the written part below the video. I can see that not only does it slow me down with the format but it cuts out a lot of the things that I do that.Take me off track
I prefer to listen or I won’t be able to do what I have to throughout the day. I spend 3 hours reading and I’m sure many others feel the same way. I understand the ADHD but maybe there is a way to use the technology to slow it down. Thank you for your reply. Your ADHD makes you special for the work you do and love. God blessed you with it. I’m proud of who you are!🤗
I was thinking about one of our original talks this morning.. About how, even if one concedes all of the points I make, as long as there are two parties we only get to choose the lesser evil of two choices that never come close to our best and brightest on either side… recently it's gone to bit best and brightest of the power structure in the parties period… What would you think if an independent like Ross Perot came around and used their wealth to gain traction… who would you think has enough resources and morality that could theoretically pull us out of that pattern. Just force everyone to play by the rules and see the domino effect of that… this presidency has turned into something it was never intended to be and the checks and balances are gone…
We could have kept Weimar, but it was too much work. Better to scream and yell and march all day in the streets instead of working for a sustainable future.
Oh yeah. "Minimum wage". Fast food stocks end up in the circular file the very next day. Bring back the American jobs from overseas and your wage problem goes away.
Congress as a whole has lost the ability to negotiate and compromise. The long terms encourage aged rivalries/opponents to fester and interfere with everything. Worshiping via a cult of fear does nothing but

Our democracy isn’t even a democracy, it’s a military regime masked in democracy.
Do you have that right. It's not even close to a democracy. We don't even vote
You meant not obligated to vote.
I mean that our vote doesn't count even if we do, when we do
That too.
Age limits need to be established for all members…as well as service time limits…Congress..the third part of our government was created to be in touch with the people they represent.
Hear, hear
Negate abilities of opponents to come to meaningful solutions. Clear them all out and start anew!

Thank you so much… My mom always tries to get me to look at the ADHD as a blessing too… I ignored her for too long
In yer own words Rxan:
“The problem isn’t Left vs Right, it’s Power vs the People.”

His Obnoxiousness President d’Pedo is a symptom of greater problems rumbling beneath.
The MAGAts have a point, arrogant bureaucracy & needles permits. An overweening focus on correct titles & political correctness.
& yet, their economic grievances go unheard or ignored.
I think, by and large, that they are ignorant racist assholes.
But …
Exactly
Yup. The Jacobins still run the Obama contingent.
The Elders of Zion still run the other side.

Agree. Next question: what is the mechanism for creating something other than this either/or choice?
You make a solid argument.
