How to discuss Politics in a "normal" conversation

It is quite easy to tell people these days how to discuss politics in conversation...do not discuss it. Nowadays it is not a good idea to discuss anything to do with politics because all it ends in an argument or even worse a fight. Presidential assassinations (a later topic) are a great example of what happens when politics are taken way too seriously. Now I realize that who runs the U.S.A is an important aspect of the country but it has gotten way out of hand because that is all that is talked about these days...Democrats versus the Republicans and I know many of you out there are agreeing with me. I say that we stop kidding ourselves and forget a majority and actually get done what is needed to get this country on track. The US is the first to provide aid to any country that needs it but we are not seen as the world power anymore; now I am not saying we take over the world but we need to make this country be seen as a great nation again and for the rest of its history.

Why is this a conspiracy?

I chose the picture (to the left of the screen) because it is exactly what politics has done. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent each year there is an election, but to win what? A popularity contest, that is exactly what it is. No average person knows anymore about how politics work than a politician themselves. All they want is to hold a title; this may not be true of all politicians but the majority of the "common folk" do not actually know if what the politicians say is really what they believe. How do we now if Democrats and Republicans actually exist? How do we know that ia all just smoke and mirrors? We do not really know and we never really know the truth and if that is not a conspiracy....what is?


Don't believe me?....Ask yourself this.....What is a Democrat? What is a Republican? What is the difference between them? Do you know?....I thought not.
