Why do people get so attached to political identities?
It seems like there's so many people who have done nothing with their life, and think picking a political party then defining their identity around it, makes them matter.
So honest question for people who consider themselves an "activist" or get so worked up over politics that they lose friends and family because they have different political views:
Why?
You Yanks should quit it already and come back home, our new King Charley would receive you with open arms. It would be just grand.
It is because the fact is that these descendants of the European colonising invaders do not have the actual connection to the land that they committed genocide on in order steal it. That God of theirs that they brought over seems pretty much fed up with their behavior and has basically withdrawn the most fundamental needed blessing of working together and is allowing their own selfish greed to tear themselves apart. It is the most profound form of any deity's judgement and devine intervention of which I am eternally grateful not to be on the receiving end of that kind of wrath...but I am assigned to be a witness to for future generations to learn from.
I am an American. I vote for the candidate that I feel has the best qualifications and the experience regardless of political party affiliation.
I cross party live nes all the time and consider it a healthy thing to do, to have them all mixed in there in the local, state and federal level as it forces them to look for consensus and find compromise like competent adults are supposed to do.
However... I will NOT vote for a convicted felon awaiting sentencing, no matter what political and courtroom maneuvering is successfully made. I will not grant a vote that would allow a felon to escape justice by entering a political office that would grant that person immunity to justice. That would guarantee that person will break any law to remain in that office until any status of limitations run out or a natural death removes him from his office.
I voted early and I am returning to home outside the boarders of the USA to continue my life as an ex-pat. It has become an embarrassment to be identified as an American. It's almost like having some kind of sexually transmitted disease ...one is looked at as if tainted or somehow perverse. It would give me great comfort if in the fullness of time there would be a repeat of history and the culprit would be removed from the political arena the same way the Kennedys were removed...this time around it would feel completely justified.
Currently, God is ** on America for it's failure to put away it's old boomer, allegedly rich, racist white supremacist, active sexual predator and convicted felon. Grow up America and REALLY put your criminals in jail already...or just shoot them like in your cowboy movie propaganda.
