People divide themselves by creating issues where they don't exist. Groups will spin language to suit their side as being correct and greater than the other. Even empathy has confrontationally different definitions. I don't foresee this changing but do think it will come and go in severity.

I do not see anyone as generally bad. I see them as giving into basal instincts and not overcoming misunderstandings. Being a hermit is fine for introverts. I need people and I tolerate more than gives me comfort sometimes.

Height is a big factor. Being taller than average I notice a lot of backbreaking standards. Especially if I have to use facilities modified for shorter or wheelchair bound people. Look at airplane seats for example. Why do I have to pay more for a seat that won't crush my knees? And decorations; quite often I will go to a place festively decorated where things are constantly bumping me or in my face. There was even a fancy balloon arch used at one place I had to move out of a doorway to get through.

And the approved voters just happened to be from the 50 people who controlled the testing.

This will be great for my unit on adaptation!

How is nobody calling out the fact that millions of Americans think that creating the State of Israel is supposed to fulfill their sadistic, hateful, apocolyptic prophecy fantasy of eternal punishment for people that dare to test their fickle faith. This is a large part of why this world sucks right now. Other than this simple quagmire, world control is about the almighty profit, but this is where these Americans will act counter to profit.

I object that you oversimplify to gross misrepresentation.

Just one of the things they say they'll do for popularity but their 'big' donors don't support, so they compromise or fail heartlessly. Sabotage would require opposition. The two parties have been playing the extortion game far too long.

Was this responding to my comment because I don't see any logical connection?

The only thing I can think of that improved socially is federal recognition of same sex marriage, but that was actually set in motion by state level judicial rulings. I can't think of any economic improvements.

The analogy does not hold up when change can be affected by the individual.

If the Democrat Party continues the way it has, they will look exactly like the current Republican party in the next decade. Republicans will be full puritanical. Supporters of the DNC will still be supporting the lesser evil. The only solution is for intelligent voters to take the stick of fear out of their asses and go full support for better candidates in primaries or other parties. The people who continue to run our two party system will not give up their power.
