United States Government can pretend to be you.

I was referring to a previous thread that was recently locked.

I never said it was because of tribal mentality, though humans are social animals and have an innate drive to form into collectives comprised of individuals that share similar physical characteristics and/or psychological patterns with one another. Humans are naturally biased and prejudiced which goes hand-in-hand with tribalism. Republicans and Democrats are just two (very large) groups of humans that have similar viewpoints, with each one rejecting and opposing some (or most) of the viewpoints of its counterpart. Competition comes in the form of both parties vying for control of various sectors of the US Government.

People aren't automatically insane if they disagree with you. It was an incredibly close-minded statement.

You have a habit of taking my viewpoints and opinions and coming up with some very extreme interpretations of them. This is the second time you've done that.

Have you ever considered that the people voting for representatives associated with those parties are satisfied with who it is that they're voting for? Not everyone in your country has the same views as you, so not everyone is going to think of all Democrats and/or all Republicans as old crooks.

And in other news, the Sun is very hot!

The Nexerus said
Vote for someone else, then...? Someone new, since you apparently think everyone who currently holds a political position is a crook.

Tell that to all of the Republican and Democratic voters, whom make up the vast majority of voters in the US.

As I said, sheep.

No, I didn't. Just reiterating my earlier point. If you were to choose to vote, you would vote for policies I disagree with, therefore while I defend your right to vote, I won't convince you to exercise it.

Ok.

Like I said,

You forgot to finish your sentence.

Forgive me if I'm wrong in this statement, but I take it you don't vote?You can change the government by voting new officials in who you think won't do what you don't like. If you don't vote to try and change the government, then you can't complain about how the current government is. You've done nothing to try and change it.

I don't call putting the same crooks into positions of power over and over again voting. It's the very definition of insanity, not democracy. Those that try to demean and downgrade others for not voting are only striving for a petty moral high-ground in a vain effort to make themselves feel more important than what they actually are. It's pathetic, and only reinforces the fact that you are a misguided sheep ignorant of what really goes on in your nation.

Seeing as you're probably a Democrat, I'll let you believe that.

I'm not a Democrat. I ditched the political party circus a long time ago.

You'll come to learn that neither one of these parties care about your well-being or the well-being of this country. But it'll take a major event, probably a negative event, to make you and others realize this.

The sense of voting. Cops don't stop voting.

Voting is meaningless.
