Where Left & Right Agree

[Basic LA]

Both Left & Right are being taken advantage of. Both feel this strongly. The Left see greedy money interests & powerful fat cats doing great harm. The Right, equally aggrieved, blame the "lazy" poor. How can anyone bridge this divide?

1. You can't

You have to add in the following with the right -

Spoon fed close to 40 years racist, classist, sexist, drivel - they are sufferers of a stockholm syndrome that causes them to vote against their interests.


The Far Right - the TEAS AND the politicians that CATER to them - they can't be reasoned with.

They can't.

[merrily]

2. So few even want to bridge it. And none of the PTB want it bridged. Or the media.

Divide and conquer.

3. It won't happen. For the right, it is a religious thing.

They have been told that unless they get rid of the sinners who are in their way, they are going to Hell.

Nothing will change that view.

4. Big difference - it's financial elites who bought an entire lie machine to create the 'blame'

the poor mentality.

I dare to you prove there is ANY fact-based equity in those positions.

So, why do YOU believe Poppy Bush tapped two of his cronies, a Korean cult leader and an Australian extortionist, to develop pro-fascist propaganda media empires in the 80s and 90s?

You think, perhaps, he did it so rightwing 'voters' could feel 'equally aggrieved' and easily exploited?

5. There is extremists on both sides, I am more comfortable nearer the middle.

I do know we need to work with each other in order to accomplish anything. The TP is saying no to anything does not agree with their extremisms' and extreme left says no to anything which does not fit their thoughts. It doesn't work, kids continue to starve and the rich continue to get more breaks. We can continue to sit on two sides and stare or get up and work to better everyone.

6. False equivalency ...

is not the place to start.

7. The right sees the Government as the problem.

The left sees corporate buying of the Government (corruption) as the problem. Keep at the corruption, Republican and Democratic, and we will earn the respect of the 99%.

8. I am putting together a website based on this idea

It will be called OnlySolutionsMatter.com which is in the process of being registered. It will be a community of people from the Left, Right and center looking for common ground based solutions on which we can all agree; after learning from each other what are our concerns. I would love to have people help me, including those with a knowledge of making and posting videos, and reaching out to the general non-political public (if you don't vote, you don't count). Please PM me and thank you.
