The U.S. is more united than any other wealthy democracy. Is there a way to cut through the media lies and manipulation?

Jan 6, peak cancel culture, shows exactly how united we are.
Don't let a minority try and tell you we aren't united.

All we have to do is find things we agree on and build from there.

I think we can all agree that lobbyists are scum. That is our starting point.

Now we can move on to another easy one. Citizens United needs to be reversed. Corporations have too much power in the United States, especially since complete industries are merging into fewer and fewer companies. Look at the number of airlines there are, food distributers, insurance, tech and auto companies.

With so few companies, the government has taken advantage and started having these corporations spy on us and censor what we say and what we can see. The less companies we have competing for our business, the less corporate boards the government needs to control. Look at how many "former" FBI and CIA agents work in Big Tech and in the legacy media.

I can't help that leftists thrive on division. The sole reason that you are commenting here is to gloat that leftists thrive on division.
The right keeps spewing stupid conspiracy bullshit, hatespeech, racial slurs, and Nazi rhetoric. The rest of us normal folks don't want anything to do with that crap, so of course we don't want to be associated with you guys.

not only are all of those things true of the left, and only the left, but the fact you were conned into believing that shows the failure in our country .

"So much for the tolerant left!" they say, as if we're supposed to just swallow their fascist bullshit unquestioned. 🙄

I mean I have right-wing friends that follow the MAGA cult.
So I guess I can put you down for a supporter of lobbyists and corporations. Wouldn't want you to be associated with any fascist or racist ideas.

Better yet, how about if you just take your childish name calling to another thread. The adults are having a conversation in here.

Name calling? Since when is the truth a bad thing? And I hate big corporations. I fight for those of us on the bottom getting fucked by those on the top. I will always fight for humanity over profits. Pull your head outta your ass.

You know there are pedophiles and sexual deviants in both parties right? And it's a common ploy among pedophiles to distract from their crimes by exposing other pedophiles.

You gotta wonder just what all those republicans are up to, when they create this mass hysteria. It's got to be really bad for them to go to all this effort.

The whole Trump disaster only happened because he realized that people were hungry for division.

If you hate big corporations, that means you agree with me. What's with your hateful racist, fascist rhetoric?

This is a quote from you, right?

I'm trying to save you from getting involved with the MAGA cult, so you must be pro lobbyist and pro big corporation.

Hey look, the guy who thinks everybody who disagrees with him is a Nazi. Nice of you to drop by. I take it since you think I'm a racist, transphobic fascist, that I can put you down as pro lobbyist and pro corporation also?

I'd hate for all of you leftists to be forced to agree with the literal reincarnation of Hitler.
