Ngl. If I dumb down the parties to their core values (based on action not promise) then I could see why someone would vote Republican. Dems want to keep the status quo, which is good because it provides stability but they’ve taken advantage of it.

However, once you think for a second about the consequences of each party, it’s clear under republican leadership there is more uncertainty. I personally wish there was a happy medium where those in power didn’t feel comfortable staying there but we also don’t cause minorities to worry about their futures.

I truly wish the system wasn’t so corrupt, in a perfect world there would be no greed, corruption, bribery, etc. and there wouldn’t be a power imbalance. The people would actually have a voice and not be criticized and cancelled for their beliefs

I believe it’s because man is inherently flawed. It’s not about creating a “perfect” system. It’s about constantly putting pressure on those in power. You can’t for second let them feel comfortable or they’ll forget they are supposed to represent you and will start doing things in their best interest. Both sides. They do well at keeping us busy though so we feel powerless.

I feel like if people actually read the Bible and stopped using it to hate people, the world would be a better place

We need a modern Marcus Aurelius style of leader

It’s because people take the Bible literally and they also forget the important parts about the golden rule and also only judging others of their sin when you have no sins yourself

Even if they took it literally they would probably be more bearable. They take literally the parts they want to so they use it to justify a pre existing hatred. Its ego pure and simple
