1) Destroy the Republican party, and force it’s members to either join another party or get out of politics.

2) Split the Democratic party up into multiple parties, including a business party, a labor party, an environmental party, a social conservative party, etc.

3) Put in safeguards to maintain a multi-party system to make sure it doesn’t revert to a two party system such as instant runoff voting and publicly funded campaigns.

twistedbutright asked:


Politics today seems to consist of three steps.
1. attack
2. retreat
3. cry foul and act like an innocent victim when the retaliation happens.
Is this the same tactic used by terrorists around the world, (to destroy someone to cause intimidation of another), and if so does this type of politics hurt our ability to remain the leader of the free world?

I am enjoying myself watching some stupid TV show and all of a sudden, hear “Vote for Obama” in mid sentence. I watch shows other than the news to get away from politics, then MTV decides to bring up politics.

It is purely ridiculous.

Mary (dokhtar aryaei) asked:


The politician keeps his balance by saying the opposite of what he does it can’t fit with a religious one does. Politics is the art of preventing people from taking part in affairs which properly concern them that s exactly opposite of what the religion is . Politics are for those who have a great regard for themselves little regard for others and no regards for the truth do u think it can fit with religious ones?
I believe it’s good if politician can be religious but that’s just impossible and the ones who pretend to be a religious and politician are liar. A good politician never can be a real religious one and a real religious one isnt a good politician what’s your idea ?
i dont believe in mixing that!

crabbytat asked:


Anytime I answer or vote on answers in the politics & government section, especially those about the current election, I notice a severe bias where all of the votes vote down any positive answers regarding liberal candidates (especially Obama) and support conservative rhetoric. What gives?
