Why is it, that with complex problems like voting the leader, makes that everybody tries to proof his right. Advancing out that all the facts point in their big being right. Despite the media epoch which informs every intelligent person very well.
There is a theory that our judgement is far less rational as we think.
This theory suggests that we all have this moral gut feeling which works as a loathsome mechanisme. This starts already when we are baby's. Do you, yes or no, like the milk, the food , which toys to play with, etc.
Later on this moral intuition will eventually bond people together in "moral tribes". Like the conservatives contra the progessives, the left or rightwings, etc.
However, because of this loathing mechanism, bringing up facts and figures, wlll by definition never convince the other tribe!
More's the pity that this theory gives no real solution. Maybe focus on the moderating group. Hardliners can never be reached anyway.
A perfect example of tribalism is right here in front of us. mikey will blindly follow fools like Obama, and Todd will blindly follow fools like Bush. In the current State, Clinton and Trump.
Our two party system is completely fukced. I have no demographic to cling to. The republicans are too liberal for me fiscally and too into controlling every facet of my life. The democrats are the exact same except for shuffling around a few got button topics that have zero value in the operation of our Republic.
I despise both of the presidential candidates. They are both trash human beings. Luckily I've got some good people running on the local level decent on the state level. That's what really matters. The actual role of our president isn't that great, the Seat does not carry that much actual power without Congress behind it, in theory. When you get pieces of sh!t like Bush and Obama in there, and sheep not holding their elected accountable, you get done of the problems we've got.
Our government is corrupt on virtually every level and has strayed so far from what it started, I don't think there's any going back.
