It makes much noise and smoke and hides the behind the scenes maneuvering. Obama was all about “drill baby drill”, don’t believe me? READ the text of his big climate change speech. Hillary was a globalist and war hawk.
If there is to be a new movement it has to come from outside the established parties. That’s why I encourage looking for a different axis, not left/right but up/down. Up being the established parties, down being the masses.
Well, getting back on topic
This is the inevitable class structure for a non-egalitarian society:
Wealthy
Middle Class
Non-propertied Class
The Partisan Divide is a convenient way for the wealthy class to divide everyone else, so this is something they wish to keep.
If everyone but the wealthy is represented as a tree truck with a crack, the Partisan Divide is the wedge being driven through it. It is also the great distraction while the robber class makes off with everything.
So, we have a cultural divide and a class divide and an intellectual divide. I'm finished for now
