What I'm suggesting is that when it comes to politics, and government, you and just about everyone else, have been taught things that are drastically distorting your perceptions of reality in a way that leads you to do things and support things and advocate things that you would otherwise recognize as immoral and destructive. And if that's the case, then pointing your finger at those other people doing the same thing and saying, "well, their even worse", that doesn't really fix anything. Yes, there are people worse than you in the world, is that a good reason to not examine your own beliefs and behaviors? Is your goal to do the right thing or just to do something not quite as bad as what the guy next to you is doing?
The goal is not to convince you to empower any politician or any political party quite the opposite. The goal here is to help you empower yourself by helping you to escape the rhetoric and the propaganda from all political parties that is designed to deceive you into betraying your own judgment, into forsaking your own values, and into giving up the power that is rightfully yours to a bunch political con men, be they Republican, Democrat, whatever, it doesn't much matter which so called "leaders", you decide to sacrifice your free will to, either way you are betraying humanity by allowing your creativity and productivity, your goodness, to become fuel for the agendas of some of the most power happy, evil people in the world.
That sounds a little too heavy for you. Let me say this, I'm not here to make you change your moral compass, or your sense of right and wrong. My only goal here is to help you to be true to your own sense of right and wrong by showing you how almost all of the rhetoric you hear about government and politics is drastically warping your perceptions and thereby your behavior in a way that not only goes against your own interests, but against the interests of mankind as a whole. My goal is to help you not have your values and morals..
