I've tried to comment three times now and I'm coming up with nothing.
Which probably means there's not a whole lot to add other than to agree with you.
I will say this. As long as it's all about politics and little to do with principles, it will always be this way. The one side will always feel like they need to yell louder and say increasingly terrible things about the other. And it will work, because people are more apt to vote against someone or something than they are to vote for them/it.
We tend to vote with our emotions over discerning what's true, and we're more interested in what's in it for me over what might be best for the country. So, we're our own worst enemies.
Many of us are here on Steemit because we believe a change is possible. Many more will have to join the cause for it to ever be so. So, if you believe in Steem and Steemit, spread the word.
Hmmm. Looks like I managed to get something out after all.
