He is wrong, "We can use politics to make things better". Not when Government & Corps steal personal Data, using it to manipulate & demoralize society.

It's becoming more clear to me how much a threat the US Government & it's Corps really are to Societal Well Being

Love Forward but sadly structural voting reform like RCV and Open Primaries just isn’t sexy enough to get people riled up and we’ve been struggling to get a unified message out there. It is almost as if Forward needs to launch its own improved version of RCV (goodness knows STAR and other proportional forms of voting are superior but harder to explain) that they can tie their name and message to maybe along with a game and app to promote both 😉 🧢 #TheFutureIsForward

@@emerraldx Its because these people do not listen to alternative view points, they live in a world of one sidedness and just want to be the same democratic party but repackaged with a. little less corruption but with the same lack of objectivity, lack of consistent principals, lack of embracing some set of core values that are prooven to be true. Without this nothing will gain enough tracktion because it is based on BS. why is 99% of the corruption in the democratic party? its because democrats believe anything they are close minded and refuse to have debate or criticise their own party. republicans criticise their own party, they pay attention to what hteir candidates positions are, and the media is willing to hold them accountable. through spirited debate hearing arguments on both sides republicans develop and progress their party and embrace common sense, liberals rely on false ideals that often times people know are rediculous but cannot critcise without the fear of being politically incorrect or offending someone. now that biden is in power people saw that immediately things started deteriorating and that their life is worse in every measure. they are really blowing it wide open and showing what an absolute fraud they have been and how easy it is to show fake compassion when your spending other poeples money many of which have much less. its disgusting and it makes people want to barf.

Same, especially about how the fringes tend to agree more with one another that different sides of the center. The fringes hate liberalism, distrust science/facts, and promote identity politics.

You are not missing anything its just more liberals talking about how they are smarter than everyone else and how if you believe if free speech, capitalism, government acccountability, that group identity should not define you, energy independance, school choice, and fairness under he law you are a facist and reprehensible. But you can redeem yourself by embracing identity poltics, advocating for men in womens sports, and if your white - sitting only in the back of the bus.

hey eric, is this more CCP propaganda?

@@mrschnider6521 Contact them and you decide.

@@erictansweebeng5498 no we want your opinion if it’s ccp propaganda. Take a stance.

​ @henry tep What I think is irrelevant. My opinion, should not influence your or anyone else's thinking or individual thought with regards to the content presented.

Well said

I can empathize with your perspective Benjamin...since I was a republican most of my adult life...but in the last 5 or 6 years the GOP has morphed into an extremely dangerous combination of Christo-Fascism and QAnon insanity...which frankly has no actual policy positions whatsoever, except to put as many firearms into people's hands as possible. I worked in many republican election campaigns and I don't believe that most conservatives are like the QAnon morons who are currently running the GOP....but unfortunately their voices are the ones who are amplified right now.

@@nathanhan2089 True. And the same could be said of the Democrats (except they actually have some concrete positions). Both parties are being influenced by the extreme minorities on their side.

Agreed, AA and Hispanics are moving right, they’re not as woke as the left thinks they are and a lot of them are tired of the identity politics.

I took the liberty of liking comments by both, Benjamin Holm and Nathan Han, because both are true in my experience as a life-long Democrat living in a Red State. The conservative Republicans I meet every day are not interesed in discussing identity politics. They value those who value hard work and honesty. And they never shy away from giving a helping hand, or extending an opportunity, to those in need (without regard to identity), as long as they too, are willing to work towards improving their own situation. They are good people with good intentions. Having said that, it is also true that today's Republican Party, no longer represents these values. Instead, they engage in as much wholesale identity bs, as my party does! Divisive rhetoric is the name of the game, and we (the electorate) are the spoils of war. Thank you Forward for hosting Mr Fukuyama. Great interview!
