Wouldn't it be sweet if people actually wanted their team to not suck, instead of wanting the other team to suck more?
What if both teams suck?
Been hearing that for my entire life. It gets tiresome. IMO:1. Neither party sucks.
2. Both parties govern from the center, which is a good thing.
3. Both parties support the "Establishment" which is generally a good thing.
4. The base on both sides is never going to be happy which is a good thing.
You're going to have to show your math on this assertion. If things are "good" as you suggest, I assume you are ok with the state of politics in this country, yes? Our government is the largest company in the world and it's run by lawyers and idealists (when it suits them). So, I'd like to understand why you believe things are "good"
Well- where to begin?1. We are a prosperous nation. Our standard of living is excellent.
2. We continue to enjoy terrific freedoms.
3. Improvements to technology and health science means that in the long run our lives are only going to get better in the future.
4. Attitudes that we had in the past against minorities, women, blacks, gays, etc. are fading rapidly. We are evolving into the most prejudice free society we have ever had.
That's just a few. Obviously there's plenty of bad things- the disparity between rich and poor, the shrinking of the middle class, the global warming crisis, our failure to recognize the value of legal and illegal immigration, foreign threats, etc. etc. but I see all of these as transient problems, while the good things I listed are pretty much permanent. I'm an optimist.
