I fear that as a nation we become too divide amongst ourselves to ever even hope to begin to fix all the problems we’ve discussed in class. The petty infighting of congress has reached the point of infuriating. When I registered to vote I choose to be an independent because I cannot stand the two party system. Each side has become so consumed with only voting along with the rest of their party, that no voter or congressmen makes an independent decision anymore. This blind voting along party lines always ends in a stalemate. Take the recent debate on budget cuts for example, neither side could work together long enough to cut a fraction of our spending. And we want them to tackle the issue of wealth disparity of this nation… good fucking luck with that. Everyone, republicans and democrats keep calling for change but each side is so polarized in its views that there is no hope left for compromise. It’s logical to expect each side to make concessions here and there to reach an agreement in order to implement change. But when both sides refuse to give an inch, we remain dead in the water while our problems only get worse. Do the two parties honestly expect to get what they want all of the time? I mean it’s a lesson I learned when I was five, you don’t always get your way and not everyone is going to agree with you, deal with it. It’s stupid, Americans have and always will be divided in our views, but there is a middle ground to be found that has to be found. It’s time for our government to stop acting like children and start making an honest attempt at improving our country as a whole. Politicians have become so concerned with furthering their party’s agenda that is has become detrimental to this nation’s stability and unity.
