Recognizing the struggle of minorites means you are perpetuating the struggle, amirite You can acknowledge the problem all day long. Doing something to fix it is another issue. Politicians these days seem to love to talk about but only do just enough they can claim they did something other than actually putting some effort into it. More on topic. I feel we shouldn't even have parties and furthermore candidates aren't allowed to label themselves conservative or liberal in campaign ads. Make them say exactly how they feel about all current major issues and force the voters to pay attention to that instead of just voting based on what party they represent. Sadly that's an impossibility. Within any issue there's simply a limited amount of stances that one can take. Over a series of issues a certain trend will get revealed and people will group themselves according to said trend. So even if all political parties dissolved today it wouldn't be long before new parties arose to take their place. I feel more people would feel forced to actually pay attention to the individual candidates rather than their party if candidates where barred from using any sort of label to describe if they are more conservative or liberal. It would also probably make more candidates more comfortable being moderate as if parties where gotten rid of I don't think they'd feel as pressured to adhere to any one groups way of thinking. Example more conservatives would be quicker to be ok with gay marriage. The part I hate most about the use of labels to use to identify candidates is so many people make it a my team vs your team. My team is always right and yours is always wrong. Causing people to straight up ignore anything bad done by their side. I feel without labels more people would be quicker to call a politician out for doing wrong even if they had voted for them. But the way it is now election time comes again and of course they are running again. Your going to still vote for them because you'd rather have someone from your party. --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!"
