It is virtually impossible to read or listen to news without their being events and discussions regarding the upcoming 2024 election. You would think that one would so a sick of listening to voices of those for or against candidates. Even candidates within the same party disagree on much. Yet, I am one of those that persists in knowing what is happening.
One could well understand differences of strategies to address real problems, e.g., inflation, global warming, poverty, homeless, migration, Russia’s attack on Ukraine. I admittedly think that answers require those who have should agree to give, e.g., those making $X above a certain amount would pay proportionately more taxes. The underlying problem that is not generally addressed is the inherent biases shared by political leaders and viewers. I, for one, am clearly a Democrat. However, I can clearly recall from my young years when our political system was reflected by general Senate votes of 98-2. Now, each party struggles for 51.
The dichotomy is also demonstrated by religions. One struggles to comprehend how one could love the Divine while hating those who share other or no religious views. To think that the Divine is bigoted seems absurd.
I admit to having no answer. I appreciate that I will be dead before how this dichotomy works itself out. My concern is for our children, grandchildren and their descendants.
