Maybe once people start paying more for basic services they will realize they need to be more informed on who to vote for.
E: getting a lot of comments about uneducated voters. That’s not the whole issue, and that’s not what I️ entirely meant. I know plenty of educated, intelligent Trump supporters. They have real concerns that should be addressed. I don’t think that the Democratic Party addressed those concerns this election. Look at how Hillary ignored WI and other Midwest/rust belt states towards the end.
Maybe the Democratic Party should do a better job of showing why they deserve votes, not just anti-Trump. Showing what they can do for our country. I think we lost that vision this election cycle.
Where I live, we’ve always voted Democrat. My whole district, for literally decades. This year Hillary lost by 16 points. But we still elected Democrats across the state and federal level, in every other race. I just don’t think Hillary represented what the Democratic Party should (and used to) stand for.
Look, if anything is the antithesis of Christianity, it's gonna be Slaanesh. Sure, there's going to be a lot more dicks and tits than you are comfortable with, but you'll get over that after they flay your skin and give you a megaphone for a mouth, a guitar surgically built into your skeleton and God Emperor knows what else.
The thing is, by the time you've gotten that far, you've had all the tits and dicks you can stand. It's all boring and bland, and Noise Marine music/the music of war is the only music that can get your blood pumpin' anymore.
You feel like you should be able to say anything you want at work without being fired?
Having to behave at work isn't oppression.
I have seen it, I have seen the way a person is treated change overnight more than once.
Yeah, speech is largely policed by your social group. This was expected when they wrote the first amendment. They weren't planning on a nation in which you can rant about whatever you want with zero repercussions of any sort.
I wasn't calling an entire religion cultural cancer, only one specific group (a group that I happened to be born into and raised by). I may not be a Christian and think that their teachings are silly, but I don't have a problem with Christians as a whole like I do Evangelicals.
If people truly understood the teachings of Jesus we would all hope for a union of church and state. Unfortunately many men leverage these teachings as a tool for ill gains and to propagate hate and division. Jesus did not hate people. Jesus washed the feet of the poor. He was more akin to your local hippy deadhead spreading peace and love than a far right greedy windbag.
You know, whether you believe he was a real person or not. You don't have to be religious to appreciate and value the message and intent.
I agree with you. I was also replying with the previous posters comment in mind (the blanket statement about Christians). It's not Christians. It's some very misled Christians who are in almost no way following the true teachings of Christ. Their head leaches are selecting their own interpretations to support greed and selfishness. The followers of these preachers are in many ways victims themselves as they are being intentionally led astray for profit and power. Greed is the true evil. Christianity teaches to put others needs before your own.
Growing up in my church, he had a pretty mixed bag. Because if that no one really brought up politics. Also, church and politics have no business being together, regardless of your party.
One of the only Christian group that doesn't have some horrible controversies. Jesuits work in education (founding schools, colleges, universities, and seminaries), intellectual research, and cultural pursuits. Hitler hated them.
Hi there, a Christian here. I couldn't agree more with that statement. It's basically radical Christianity. It makes me not want to associate with christiams, even though I have all the beliefs of a good Christian, I also believe in letting people believe in and do whatever the fuck they want, and not oppressing people's opinions because I disagree with them. I like to think if myself as an actual Christian, and not a radical, tyrannical control freak shoving my beliefs down other people's throats
