Here are some takes that you just might find yourself totally agreeing with:

1.

“The fact that almost every politican is over 75 years old.”

“That we still and seemingly will always have this two-party system.

3.

“Lack of climate focus.”

“I know a lady who thinks the world is flat.

Icebergs float in a calm sea with rocky shoreline in the foreground. The image depicts a tranquil, natural environment with clear skies.

There’s not much you could do about that.

It’s frustrating; you’re free to’t have a conversation with that.

There’s no middle ground, compromise, or thing we can agree on.

There is no debate.”

“If I say I don’t like one side, people assume I like the other.”

“Political arguments have become so much dumber.

Arguments used to be reminiscent of an essay format with a claim and supporting arguments.

And rebuttals pointed out the nuances in the person’s argument that were misleading or untrue.

A person holding a smartphone, browsing social media with several notifications visible on the screen. The individual is wearing jeans, and sneakers, and has painted fingernails

Now, we just straight up lie to each other.

Some people seem to get their news and political opinions strictly from social media.”

8.“CONSPIRACY!

Conspiracy theories are for the powerless.

It’s disturbing what people will believe without a shred of actual evidence.

Usually, those theories require a poor understanding of how the world actually works.”

“The lack of repercussions for lying.”

10.

Now would be a perfect time for a third party to come forward and level the field.”

“The constant ‘apocalyptic’ rhetoric.

A person holds up an "I Voted Today" sticker with a child in their arms, standing outdoors with greenery in the background

However, some fringe people will fall into that ideology and react accordingly.”

u/Kruse

12.

But nothing ever actually gets done."

“I feel it has become a cultural thing now.

To an extent, it’s the same with progressives and Democrats.

It just feels like supporting a sports team now.

u/psycharious

14.

“Zero willingness to acknowledge issues and have constructive discourse around solutions.

Everything’s hyperbole or a principled hill people are willing to die on.”

u/sixwax

15.

“People making their politics views their personality trait.

It’s weird and cringe as hell.

We now aren’t purely voting for one candidate over another because we like their policies better.

17.Lastly: “The extremism.

You cannot have a meaningful discussion.

It is all in.

You’re either with us or against us.”
