This Country is Swinging Violently Left and Right

This is more concerning than anything else

Shows an underlying instability that should concern everyone.

Vibes based election. Younger generations aren’t tied to parties anymore

The only constant is no one wants their taxes raised

Well the useful idiots from Tuesday are in for a rude awakening, especially in all the red state legislatures that went blue.

people didn't like the uniparty and apparently also the non-uniparty.

Republican politicians and Democrat politicians are laughing in the faces of every single voter while they keep getting rich on the tax payer dime. Neither party is worth a shite and does not have the American peoples interest at heart.

I disagree. We have not gone "violently" right since 1994.

I posted this in another thread earlier. Thought I’d post it here since it’s directly about this subject.
If you take away the 12th and 17th amendments, you wouldn’t have these pendulum swings from one Congress or POTUS to the next.
The VP would be of another party and wouldn’t be an automatic vote for the Executive for ties in the Senate (an additional check on POTUS), and the Senators would be appointed by the state legislatures instead of popular vote. Things would likely look radically different.
Instead, through amendments, checks and balances have been removed and allow for these huge swings.

I agree. Both parties need candidates that are more towards the middle.

LOL to think any of the Texas Dems are wildly left.

Shows that loud and crazy people get their way most of the time.

Our country has a lot of people who are going to bitch and moan about whoever is in charge.They can sacrifice nothing and are pissed off by the slightest inconvenience. Self-centered, spoiled, brats.
I think back to JFKs quote and laugh about “ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.”
We are the polar opposite today.

I tried telling this board: to the young, the “far” left and right wings are the same thing.
Boomers just keep pissing on them while telling them it’s raining. The boomers are actively poking a bear with a stick completely unaware that said bear is going to eat you if you don’t stop. People like me are trying to figure out a way to placate the bear to make sure it doesn’t kill everyone and itself.
I fear that the revolution is inevitable now, and it’s going to throw the baby out with the bathwater and burn the whole house down.

Almost like a married couple fixing to file for irreconcilable differences

Seems impossible to do when voters get their politics from extreme 24 hour news media and tiktok, X, and instagram.
People are being conditioned to be extreme.

I've been saying this for years. The pendulum keeps swinging further and further out.

The middle is the neo-liberal/neo-conservative uniparty.
I want the opposite of that middle.
