Open Question Nov 4: Now what? What are good political conversations to have with people who voted another way?
Most post-election talk is about who won, who’s to blame, what terrible thing is likely to happen next. Let's try to do it differently: what are the good conversations to have now, with the people in your life who voted differently? Then let's try to have them.... - redaleck...
We have to believe in our system even when we don’t win. If the American people want to go liberal then that’s where we go together. It maybe a complete failure or it may help us discover something that we didn’t know about ourselves as a nation.... Have You Voted?

Confusion
If both political parties, both the Democrats & the Republicans. If they both are paid & owned by the ultra-wealthy, how does voting work out for us, then?

Better world by Richard Barnett
I am a long time advocate of reform of government all federal state and county. Outspoken on most all platforms of social media. For that is the best way I had thought to reach the masses to change not the world but how people think. Often most are taught what to think.... Open Question Sept 30: Can you vote for someone you don't trust?
Hey y'all, In Texas this week, one Senate candidate walked out of a press conference when reporters asked about his property and voter fraud allegations. The other was heckled over his theology and his past statements on prison. The polls are tied.... the Reconstitution Project (an integrative experiment at collaboratively writing a second-tier US constitution) side note, this looks awesome!

WHY do we continue to look for a "savior"?±±±±
It seems to me, that as a nation, we are continuously looking for a savior. I wonder if it stems from childhood and all the fairy tales we consumed; i.e. Snow White, Cinderella, Bambi etc.... First, people do seem to have a tendency to look for leaders who promise certainty during uncertain times. Psychologists sometimes refer to this as a desire for cognitive closure or a preference for strong leadership when people feel threatened by economic hardship, social... - Sassiebrat67...
Inspiration, Instigating, Installation
I have read so many truly insightful, deep discussions on here concerning the state of our Republic, the world in general, and finding so many others aware of the path wr are on, and "listening " to their perspective I feel encouraged, less the weirdo in the corner.... - onHi. I’m a passionate progressive, desperate to stop the damage being done by this administration, by helping to create the biggest Blue Wave possible in the upcoming midterm elections. I suspect that the right wing, including the Republicans and other allies with unlimited funding will be doing everything they possibly can to steal these elections, through voter suppression and actual vote manipulation (cheating) that they are preparing for but that we will be blind to. So I believe that our only realistic hope lies in massive voter turnout that overwhelms their ability to cheat. What makes this task even more difficult is that they have virtually total control over the media through their corporate ownership, and they are willing to manipulate the news for their benefit. It’s going to take a lot of social action, in the streets and in social media platforms like this to get around the obstacles they have put in place.byFlowerup...
