They're both authoritarian but one obviously leans left, and the other, right.


Only one has targeted attacks of human rights of minorities.


The only minority worth protecting beyond reproach of politics are those afflicted with poverty. I have found both parties incompetent in this regard.

800k shacks with outlets in LA for the homeless. The complete dismissal of the responsibility we have as a society to rehabilitate people in the prison system. the absolute abandonment of native americans that ultimately lead to an institution of sexual abuse. Unions run the schools but the worst outcomes happen in urban cities, which leads to violence.

the problems we face are complex. and I think we would do better to lean inwards than rely on looking to the fringes for our philosophical goals.

I am NOT AT ALL dismissing the problems of poverty, native americans, prisoners nor unions but that is some janky, janky phrasing.

Am I the only one getting a "and you are lynching negros"[1] vibe here?

And what does: "rely on looking to the fringes for our philosophical goals" even mean, anyway?

How do you think we, the people, can make a really meaningful impact to change this?


I think a secular/scientific version of some of the ideas contained within religions like Buddhism could move the needle substantially:

elect better people into congress


I would guess cities on average have better schools than rural areas.
