I thought pub discussion frowned on all the research and was just discussion of opinions..... that was my goal. I did not want this thread bogged down by people pulling out articles and the like to prove one side is worse than the other.
My goal here was for opinion..... how is it affecting you, why do you believe one party isn't about power over you..... what do you disagree with on principle and in opinion with the op or subsequent posts.
You allow people to bring in BS links and articles and research..... you take away opinion and one's principle.
Elections are not won or lost by FACTS they are won and lost by people's PERCEPTIONS and OPINIONS..... thus in order to understand and truly hold a good political discussion that one can learn from is explaining those opinions, respecting each other and trying to understand why one believes the way they do.
Not just shoving links and articles and so on down their throat to show them how wrong they are.
